You said Fielden and Peacock will run at brick walls. So would Jammer. The guy has carried our front row since the start of last year.

To suggest he isn't "upto" the NRL is a complete load of twaddle. He is easily a better prop than Jason Cayless in his prime now, who was an accomplished NRL player.

I shouldn't but I can't help it.

Fielden and Peacock could have handled it yet Graham wouldn't do very well ?

Didn't a certain top NRL and Australian International prop forward describe Graham as the top prop forward on the planet in the World Cup despite our woeful performances ?

Please try harder.

Please remind where I said he wouldn't do very well?

I just said he wouldn't do as well as Ellis and Ellis is doing a bloody good job at the moment

I think your the one that needs to try harder sunshine

Peacock and Fielden are different types of animal to James Graham, Graham is a more modern day ball handling prop and Peacock and Fielden are more let's get stuck in and bash the other forwards around or run into brick walls type players hence more suited to the NRL...

Agree 100% Joker

Yeah, but isn't that just because he's at Saints. He's just an average player that's got a good team round him, that's all really.

Evening muppet.

You insinuated that Graham wouldn't do very well in the NRL. It is an obvious tone in your post.

I would suggest Graham is the one young British player we have certain to do well over there. You see, all the NRL expects from a prop is consistent metre makers who provide you with field position. See the stats from Graham to confirm he is the best at doing this but he also possesses superb hands and strong defence.

I am pleased to see Ellis do well over there, its still early days yet but he should go fine as he has superb defence and is a strong runner. Peacock I think would also go well as he is a top player, as is Graham.

I suspect you're a Wiganer so admittedly lately you wouldn't know a top player if he bit you on the backside. Please try to show an ounce of brains when you post something.

Resorting to childish insults already?

Its nice to see you think I'm a muppet when it is distinctly obvious you didn't read my post properly and we both know that so now you are trying to cover it up by taking what I said out of context

The only thing I said was he wouldn't do as well as Ellis and that is my opinion and I think quite a few people would agree so if that is 'not showing an ounce of brains' then I do apologize

I actuallly happen to think Graham is a really good player (as much as it pains me to admit it to people like you) and I do think he could handle it if he went to the NRL but I don't think he would do as well as Ellis will. If you disagree with me thats fine, I couldn't really care less if you agree or not.

Would of been interesting to see how Fielden in his prime would have done

0/10

If he can't take a bang on the chin and a transfer to a pack without two 20 stone props, what makes anyone think he could hack it in the top competition in the world?

Well done to Ellis, I hope he does well. Mason shouldn't be touched with a bargepole, nothing but trouble everywhere he goes.

In his prime he would have hacked it. He hacked it for GB against the Aussies before without 'two 20 stone' props.

Cue the Mason remarks about when he played for GB ...

all of our players are average at best, its the players around them that make the look good
