James Graham, would you be happy with him?

[Snake]

I am hearing Graham will be the front rower we sign for next season. Manly wanted him for this year and he was willing to come but our salary cap situation with the medical clearances etc. put a stop to it. The Dogs are clearing out cap space to have a crack at the Tigers "small 4" and although they are a long shot at getting all 4, they will probably land at least one of them...I wouldn't be surprised if Moses or Brooks winds up at Canterbury next year. I think Woods and Tedesco will stay at the Tigers.

Watch this space.

Jimmy would be good for us if it happens.

 

[Haliaeetus]

yep, i'm a fan

 

[jbb/james]

Like it, like it a lot. Competes hard, very inspirational leader.

If he and Des are at odds what does it say about the constant speculation about Des returning

 

[Fluffy]

didn't we have the same thing posted about 2 months ago?

As long as Graham doesn't do his terrible bombs I would take him.

9. Api
10. James Graham (replace Nate Myles ASAP)
11. Frank Winterstein
12. Curtis Sironen (I think he will get better)
13. Jake Turbo

Not bad forward pack.

 

[Narrabeen Laker]

De$$ie is not coming back and I hope he never does . I could possibly forgive him for signing with Canterbury with a year left on his contract but I will not forget him trying to sabotage manly by trying to take players and staff with him. It's rather fitting he ended up a dog

I know he's polarising ( but so is Graham) but I'd much rather we signed woods.
Younger and more of a refs pet , we could lose Graham for several weeks a year.
Neither are the best props in the game but probably best of what's available.

 

[SeaEagle9413]

Fresh rumours about James coming to Manly and the Bulldogs trying to sign some of the Tigers "Big 4"

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Stuff it, just sign them both. We'd have a pretty strong team if we did!

 

[Sookie]

He would want pretty big money though

 

[hozza]

2 seasons ago I'd be over the moon. I just think he's slowed down a little bit, and at 31/32 yrs of age it's a big gamble. I mean if he came on the cheap, then sure.

No of us want a Myles 2.0 situation.
Look to the future, not the past.

 

[Woodsie]

The time for the "hungry Pom" was last year or this year.

I don't think we will need what he brings to the table next year, not at the price anyway.

Best pack in the comp? Would worry with jimmy's age however he always gives his all, would prefer woods, beyond happy with graham.

 

[The '47ers]

As above, several times, price would be decider. Would love to have him though.

 

[Lord Eagleton]

Depends on his age, doesnt it. He certainly has heart. His best days are likely behind him from next season onwards but he may inject some genuine energy/leadership to the team. Energy that Myles has lacked (apart from last weeks game).

And he bit Billy Slater's ear. He has my attention from that incident. Probably deserves to be chaired around Brookie for that alone.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

If he's here to have a nice paid holiday like big forehead until he goes out to pasture he can point his knuckle somewhere else please if not ,not a bad option ......

If he wants to spend his days chewing ears in the grass maybe Billy slater can bring him to the same retirement village in sunny QLD

 

[Lord Eagleton]

Google tells me he is 31 now. 32 by the time next season starts. Hmmm its a no from me. But i do like the guy. Shame we couldnt have him 2 seasons ago

 

[tookey]

Can someone amend this thread to start with "I hate spreading rumours but...."

He only wants to come here so that he can go to the beach and get a suntan on his white legs

Rumour is the dogs have already signed Brooks hence why Reynolds won't be re-signed

 

[Eagleheart]

Not really a fan of ear biter tbh, he is getting older and is showing signs of wear and tear. With the money we would have next season, there are a few more options than him surely?
