Very witty. Except the GF comes after the season has ended. But no matter. You have your fun. (He didn't hide then either. He scored the first try)

yeah and he did his usual wave, but he wasnt waving 80 minutes later

Graham lost it big time last season with Palea'aesina also and now this with Bailey. On both occasions he completely forgot there was a game going on and went his own way.

Good player when he sticks to the rugby though.

The previous poster is correct when he said McClennan blobbed big time when removing the Leeds irritant.

I posted earlier. Leeds should just have sent Peacock and Bailey at Graham for the next 15 minutes. He had "gone " completely.

I'm looking forward to the cup game, should be good one to watch after we get back from Barrow.

He was so "gone" after the incident he made great yards, made his tackles, made the match winning try and, as far as I recall, gave no penalties away.

Bet you wish the Wigan props were that "gone" on a weekly basis.

Graham was superb on Friday, before and after the Bailey hit.

I’m just speculating here but can you open your eyes or have then been welded shut due to some juvenile Super-Glue prank?

Anyone who thinks Graham was anything other than excellent on Friday is clueless. He did everything you expect of a prop and plenty more.

So you’d expect a prop to come of the bench eye’s popping out of his head, seething with rage then spend the next ten minutes trying to have a pop at Bailey but massively neglecting the rest of his duties?

He neglected nothing and Bailey was subbed a couple of minutes after Graham came on - indeed before Saints even got the ball back and before Leeds scored their try - so it is imposible for him to have spent "the next ten minutes trying to have a pop at Bailey but massively neglecting the rest of his duties".

What specifically did Graham neglect to do out of interest? He certainly managed to produce the match winning play.
