Curtis Rona on James Graham's Nickname

[Raikkonen]

In relation to team nick names, Rona said:

"I reckon 'Bupa' (James Graham) would have to be up there. I know it comes from the insurance ad but I'm not sure how it applies to him. I've always thought it was because he had maybe two sides to him or that he talks to himself."

I'd like to be a fly on the wall listening to some of the conversations Graham has with himself.

[Lov_Dog]

Is he unhealthy though ?
Figuratively, rather than literally ??

Tolman is definitely healthier than graham, just softer too.

 

[Nano]

Apparently Tolmans one of the most fittest at the club so yeah haha

Apparently Tolmans one of the most fittest at the club so yeah haha

yeah his damaging tackle breaks and smashing runs are the proof of that.

yeah his damaging tackle breaks and smashing runs are the proof of that.

He never gets dominated in tackles at all.
