James Graham Best Foward In Superleague? : Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:00 pm  

Whilst watching tonights match on sky stevo said that james graham is the best prop in superleague, now i disagree with this. If he was the best prop in superleague and he is English why is he not England's Captain and Jamie Peacock is? Yet again i personally think that there was no need for this dribble to come out of Stevos mouth.

now i disagree

Well I wouldn't expect anything else from A Whino.

The captain doesn't have to be the best player.

why?

as long as he is an automatic pick and leads by example I dont see why someone has to be the best in their position to be a captain....

i agree

not to say Graham wont continue to improve as he is still young. If we are honest Peacock is probably at his peak now so it will be interesting if Graham goes the way of Fielden and steadily declines as he ages or goes as Peacock has and keep improving to the high standards he sets now.

For leadership, strength, discipline, speed, agility offloads, line breaking i think JP kicks grahms ass. I am not saying JG is not a good player i am just saying at THIS MOMENT in time JP is a much better player but he is aged and has MUCH more experience than JG. Although i think JG will mature into a good player if he keeps he's head on!!

You are in cloud cuckoo land if you think Peacock is playing better than Graham at the moment. They are without any doubt the top two props in Super League, but it's Graham pulling the trees up last season and this. Of the two Graham is the form player and has the potential to get better because of his age whilst Peacock by his own admission is on the other side of the hill Graham is dragging Saints up.
