    Default James Graham confirms retirement

    Shame he didn’t get one last run out in front of the fans but been a pleasure to see him back in the RedVee over the last few months. All the best Jammer, one of the greats no doubt!

    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    I wonder if having no fans influenced his decision at all.

    Debut in 2003 for Saints, many times as a young forward he did 80 hard minutes for Saints. He is one of those players who only come around every blue moon. A great forward and a great player who will belong in the ranks of our clubs greats.

    Respect Jammer, you have done us proud.

    I first heard about Jammer when he was in the Academy and was made captain for England on the OZ tour, I saw some footage on him basically taking on the Aussies by himself. He dedicated his whole life to Rugby in those early years, I liked Woolf's comment when Jammer came back to the club, quote: "He's a Tough Bugger" and will soon be another Saints Legend in the locker.

    Certainly deserves to sit at the top table of ex Saints when retirement finally comes. I wish him every success in the next chapter of his life.

    I think he's done a good job since coming back. He's provided leadership that I think we were lacking. It would be great if he could go out with a title (even if it is in this weird season).

    Shame that we couldn't see him play out his last few games in person but it is what it is. Fantastic player, one of my all time favourites. Hope he has a long and healthy retirement!!

    Bit worried over Jammer lately, almost every game on his return he has had some form of head injury. Just hope the man goes out with his final Swan song with a win next week............Legend of a Player

    What a player. True Legend. So happy for him that he ended his career with a Grand Final win.

    Brilliant, fairy tale ending for him, he can throw all the GF losses onto the back burner now.

    That probably made it worth him coming back. After missing out on the fans,. so glad he got a win. Go home and relax Jammer.

    He will be a 'pundit' over in Australia Belgian i was led to believe , always had good info from this 'person' even with the info of him coming over short term , which he did . He certainly brought that bit of 'beef' over with him , the lads really looked upto him = and that came from the dressing room , he although he's now a codger will definitely be missed without a doubt .

    Hi Roy, I hope he does get a job as a pundit. After what he has done for the game, it would be nice to see him get something back without his body taking the toll.

    Really good interview on Matty Johns Face to Face show for those of you that have paid for Watch NRL. Naturally the GF win over Wigan was mentioned and it was great to see how much he still loved to watch the last minute try back and the celebrations after.

    As confirmed just watching him in his 'pundit mode' doing a great job , seems my source of info was spot on Belgian .
