Well,,Seeing Hasler has just gone to the Bulldogs and has never met the bloke yet...that seems a bit strange to me....

He'll probably need to change his style a bit - a bit more dynamism running the ball and do less of the stand off work he has done for Sts. I can't see any reason why he won't do well.

He'll be fine.
Took Morley over a year to hit full tilt. Then look.
Hopefully it'll take James a lot less. I've only seem him in internationals and like his ball handling skills, tips ons and his double pump pass to set up a try against NZ. That's without even mentioning his work rate.

I'll take that bet. Say £100 to the SPF?
I'll say he'll play more 1st grade than reserve grade.

FGB should do alright Down Under, although I don't think he'll make the same initial impact as if he'd have moved a couple of seasons ago. I thought he was looking tired in the 4 seasons, possibly the legacy of carrying the Saints pack over too many years.
Good luck to him. Perhaps a new country, new challenge, new season will spark up the Jammer of old. I do worry though about sunstroke, and the dangers posed by any passing Japanese whaler if he's laid out on the beach!.....

As a Leeds fan I am not very fond of Graham after his petulant childish non handshaking a few years back, that said he impressed me with the way he handled defeat this year at old Trafford, and weather you like him or not you cannot dispute that he is a very good player and will go well in the NRL. He isn't overrated and most fans would want him in their team
