James Graham : Sun Nov 20, 2016 10:13 pm  

He is wanting to be released from the Bulldogs and isnt ruling out a return to Super League.

Any thoughts?

Apparently dismayed that the club has retained Des Hasler, been stripped of the captaincy and has thrown the toys out of the pram and demanded to be released from his contract. They mentioned the Bulldogs are more than willing to do that, but would much prefer to not release him to an NRL rival. They didn't take it too seriously however. Only web link I can find is this, but it's not a proper sports site

If James wants to realise his true potential then he'll come to the Wire.
Any where else would be a downward step.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the Bulldogs were removing the captaincy from Graham as it was harming his game.

Re: James Graham : Tue Nov 22, 2016 12:56 am  

he is reportedly on $700k per year,thats over £400k over here,no chance he will come back as there is no one that can pay him that much. Other nrl teams are interested and they will pay him more and not less no doubt. I would class this as off season rubbish and file it in the same drawer as the Makinson or Percival to wigan rumours that have gone around.

We can't compete with wages like in Australia for top players like James, same with RU here, England players get around £300,000 per year and clubs pay the same to England players as well as sponsorship?

Seasonal chokers? Hardly. Plenty of seasons where they're too poor to get into any choking situations
