Good. next.

I'll believe it when I see it. Surely he'll follow Roby and just re-sign with Saints?

he's already back with st george

Clearly the depth of emerging talent in the NRL isn't as deep as the trolls have us believe if clubs are trying to sign no marks like Craig Gower and James Graham.

Is there an NRL team in or around Sydney he hasn't been linked with now?

I heard the same thing about two weeks ago.



Would be very surprised if he didnt move to the NRL.

Gower was pretty average at his best - god knows what he will be like after 4/5 years in RU - if he can get a game it suggests the conveyer belt of talent isn't quite what the Aussies suggest it is.



Some the half backs running around in the NRL are just rubbish

The two at Souths, the two at the Eels, Orford, Foran etc

He's gone. If he wasn't he would have signed by now as the club have been trying to get him to resign over the last 12 months.

Good move for James Graham. Anyone who wants to try his skills in the NRL deserves credit.

Fair play to him if he goes.

Jammer will definitely be going to the NRL for next season.



Good luck to him as he has been a fantastic servant to my club unlike somebody else I could mention.

He will not be moving as he has just begun to help out teaching rainhill high school students on Wednesday.

he's crap anyway

Thats the deal breaker then!! No way will he go down under then!

Why do people call this bloke 'Jammer'?



The accepted abbreviation of 'James' is usually 'Jim'





So therefore you would think people would call him 'Jimmy' or something.







'Jammer'











Only in St Helens

Phipps (barry) it's just a nick name for him.

Edited for accuracy.







So why 'Jammer' as a nickname?





Even given the riduclous 'scouse' accent people from round that way have 'Jammer' doesnt sound anything like 'Jimmy'

He'd fit in well with all the other mard bootys down there.

To be honest I don't know why it is his nickname and by the way I have a Lancashire accent,you do when you come from St.Helens.

I've just been told an acceptable nickname for someone called 'James' is pronounced 'JAY-MER' so maybe someone was spelling it 'Jamer' before realising how stupid it looked.





Actually I don't really give a monkeys if I'm honest and I'm wishing I hadn't bothered mentioning it.

How many scousers do you actually get in your team. I know JAY MER? is but do you have menny others past present.



Suppose most kids in liverpool would be into football

Is it April fools day in oz?

Newcastle Knights?

He certainly had a good time in the main Leagues club when he was there the night before England played New Zealand
