Fair enough then - his opinion was obviously changed by something.

Cough, Wayne Bennett, cough, cough...

To be fair every player we looked at over there seem to have been warned off by Bennett and Murray.

We are never going to sign perfect player in his prime from Australia, the rep rules ensure this is the case, so when a world class player becomes available every now and again you have to take the plunge, in spite of his baggage.

Yes thank you smartarse but in what way did Bennett change his opinion?

Have you all seen him this year? He is nothing like the player he once was. However, if a change of scenery got him back to his old standards, then he is defo worth a risk.

I'm very quickly changing my tune on the James Graham rumour.

Probably nothing but still curious that I've now had 3 seperate texts within the last couple of hours saying Graham is on his way to Wigan next year as well as a respected member of this board saying St Helens are looking to offload him.

Got it in one.

I cannot see him coming to Wigan but do think from rumors going round he is on his way out of Saints.

I can't confirm Bennett's exact words but I believe they were along the lines of "Strewth Ian, I wouldn't touch him with yours. He's a flammin' Gala".

You sure Ian Lenegan was not taking advice from Ray Meagher on the Mason issue?
