    Graham is still proving to be good enough to be picked each week in an NRL 17. And I actually thing he would bring something different to the side with his ball playing ability- a halfback in a forwards body, as Andrew Johns famously said of him. Saints have Walmsley, Lees, Ashworth and so on to provide the crash, bang, wallop. Then there's his leadership too.

    Jamie peacock, Adrian Morley & Gareth Ellis have all proven that playing in the forwards in your mid and even late 30's can be done, so I wouldn't back against Graham adding his name to the list.

    The signing would be a morale boost to the players and for the fans too. A shot in the arm for the season restart.

    Regards,

    STEVO
    I fully agree with this, I only hope he gets to play in front of a packed house before the season ends. Can't imagine what the atmosphere would be like on the first and last times he runs out in front of a home crowd. I would certainly fly over to have a last look at him in the red vee.

    Bit of a factoid, historically in Roman Times it was a place were they scored heaps of clay and animal manure to make funeral urns.

    So it is literally full of crap, sounds about right.

    Castleford very much like St. Helens was built on the glass and coal industries. Cas was the biggest uk bottle producer. Latterly they also had quite a big chemical plant Hickson & Welch which was one of my accounts!!

    Actually Castleford was where part of Edward III army crossed the river since the Lancastrains had destroyed the ferry bridge. This all happen in the days before the battle of Towton, the bloodiest day on English soil

    What makes me laugh about you. In your world your a bit of a smart arse and we are all a bit daft, when in reality some of these people would run rings around you. Zeb is retiring a class player and class guy but you don't comment on that thread Mr. Rugby League.

    Saints haven’t confirmed it yet but it’s a formality. The St George coach has said today that Graham approached him and asked for a release so he could finish his career at St.Helens.

    The fact is this, saints are on the slide. Your coach is poor, it’s embarrassing for him - he looks lost. When we comprehensively out played you and took 2 points off you before the break it was absolutely appalling to see LMS take the lead in the sheds, in full view of the entire RL World.

    Given that your coach is meant to be a tough guy I am surprised he didn’t act.

    I like Eamonn. I’m certain he will have been squirming and desperately wishing he’d taken a different path than appointing Kristian Woolf. KW not only looks like desperate dan, his body language is that of complete confusion and you know he doesn’t know what he is doing.

    Back to the point. You‘ll win tin pots for the next 2-3 seasons and the next coach will be rebuilding a Cunningham esque squad.

    This nothing Club (ha ha ha, super league table toppers by record distance in 2017 lol how very amusing) is the place to be for up and coming young talent and we have the coaching team that EVERY player in the league knows is arguably the best in England. Wait and see.

    Dream of jammer? Oh gosh it gets funnier. I seem to recall us paying a fee for Liam Watts a while back. He wipes the floor with James Graham. Simple as that. Oops.

    In terms of not being able to produce talent like Thompson, I must put you right on that too. Daryl Clark won man of steel. Did Thompson? No. Point made. What about Westerman...god I can’t be bothered listing names.

    You wait and see.

    And all lives matter, it is of no credit to you or your forum suggesting the folk of Castleford are beggars. It’s offensive and wrong.

    TF

    Ps. Not interested in other offensive comments

    Good job Daryl Clark won MOS, he single handedly doubled your League silverware tally EVER!

    He is one of those people that talks to himself when he wants expert advice.

    It’s not a formality at all. He wants to come and we want him but St George are key to all this. McGregor doesn’t want him to go and he’ll only come if they can find a replacement. The De Belin court case is key also. If it’s thrown out then he’ll be back at the club leaving Graham to come.

    It’s not as straightforward as everyone thinks. I think it’s highly likely he will come, I’m just pointing out that there’s reasons why nothing official has been announced.

    It’s also definitely only for the rest of this season. There won’t be another year.

    Meanwhile back to the title of the thread, reading on the St George fans forum, vast majority of the fans very respectful to Graham but all say sadly that he isn't the same player he used to be, one even says that he hasn't broken a tackle in two years but they all still like him, and wish him well. I just hope that a fresh start in familiar surroundings together with hopefully, the vocal support of the fans will reignite the passion like it did with Anderson and Ward. We've nothing to lose if it is initially just for six months and then perhaps another twelve months if it all goes well
