Graham’s plan to curb the outbursts

[Blue_boost]

I think we need the mongrel Graham back. We lacked starch in our forwards late in the year. There was a huge difference in our side when graham was on and off the field... last year not so..

Remember all the forward battles Graham had.. King, Burgess, that kid from roosters, Dylan napa... Last year...NONE

I don't think its best to domesticate Graham... Let him be Mongrel Graham...maybe not as captain.

I tend to agree he wasn't "AS GOOD" for 15 as 14. That said he was still along way ahead a lot of props. We are a bit blessed in the forwards so every game someone generally stands out. It's not that the others were woeful just they are overshadowed by another high level performance from another big player e.g Klemmer or Eastwood or Pritchard or Kasiano or Jackson all have put in huge games that we all blow our load over.

I do however think people forget his opening to the year was OUTSTANDING he was in fine form and then the Bunnies game and the rubbish suspension came and he seem to just get out there do his work and that was it. Obviously disappointed he copped such a ban, avoiding at all costs another.

I'm hoping with the changes in life (his baby) and his time to think and go over it and speak to whoever he leans on etc he will come back with a fierce attitude on the field, though a smarter and more calmer attitude with the refs. If it effects his game or doesn't suit him then it's time for the club to give Jacko the VC and let him do the talking and let Graham do his thing.

No no no .. He tried that in 2015 and it didn't work.. He needs to be the James Graham he was when he started .. The James graham we saw playing in the 2014 GF ....He shouldn't make a decision based on that Good Friday game it seems he's taken everything that happened on his shoulders .
If I was mentoring him I'd get him a hypnotherapist so he could wipe that game from his memory .

A little birdie from Belmore told me that jammer graham and mszz castle don't speak at all and have not for a while now. Make of that what u want but can't see it as a positive what so ever

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

I would relieve him of the captaincy and let him play his natural game without the added pressures.

Hope castle gets the job at the NRL HQ.

 

[Bad Billy]

Take the captaincy off him.
Tell him to react on instinct from now on.
Then sit back and enjoy the show.

That "black" friday game ruined our season in 2015.. half the team banned. No momentum.

Maybe graham has just lost that fire, domesticated now. Like a circus lion standing on a chair jumping through a hoop rather than just tearing people alart limb from limb..

This year i want

Graham to bring back the vasoline
Bring back the chatter in the ruck
Bring back the baiting in tackles
Bring back the run at me son
Bring back the burgess challenges
Bring back the big hits
Bring back that ball playing sweep around the back, tip on and short passes

We dont need him to be a tollman and just lob into the defensive line.

 

[Blue_boost]

Remember when he tore mitch brown to shreds when he offloaded unnecessarily. Thats the graham we need

I agree 100%

 

[Chris Harding]

We need Graham's passion; but he can affect the attitude of the whole team for better or for worse. As captain, he needs to control his aggression toward the opposition, and not the officials. I don't buy the conspiracy theories about him and Castle. Statements made without facts can be refuted without facts.

Forget the ball playing, absolute rubbish. He needs to run like a mad **** first and everything else second. This stupid ball playing forward rubbish is what has got us into this current situation and is massively overrated on here.

Halves need to be halves and Graham must be a forward.
