Graham played his last game for the Dragons against the Titans in Round 6 and will move home to link with his old club for the rest of the season.

“There were a few scenarios going around and some cause and effect situations back home and I had to think things through,” Graham said on NRL 360.
“I had to work out what I wanted to do and what effect it would have back home and also on the Dragons as well.

“It wasn’t an easy decision, but this gives me the opportunity to go home and finish my career where it all started and play out the next six months and then move on to the next chapter.”

I read there is suggestions of a loan deal with Billy Magoulias.

Is that for an outside back ? Saab to the sharks for the year , would make a tonne of sense , if the dragons are trying to keep him long term

I just noted Magoulias' name. No other name mentioned. The Sharks have just signed two wingers so I doubt they would be in the market for another.

Matt Eisenhuth's name was mentioned late last week.

Farewell Jimmy Graham. His stint in the NRL was enjoyable to watch, he was definitely a character and a bloke who gave his all.
Awesome player a few years ago. The brutal way in which he played was bound to take it's toll.

A disaster for St George. He may not be as good as he used to be, but we have seen what has happened at Brisbane. They have the most talented forward pack in the competition, but no experience. Forward packs need guys like him to mentor and protect their young players..

He was a great player. He should be remembered as one of the great English players who came to Australia, alongside names such as Hanley, Schofield, Morley and Burgess.

What happened with the DeBelin case ...22/6 was supposed to be a court hearing

 

[happy_tiger]

He'd be in the Top 5 best ever Poms in Australia ....evenly matched along with Ward , Burgess and Ellis of the modern blokes

 

[TheDaBoss]

Bit sad he couldn't win a premiership over here

And Ellis

Being from St Helens myself, I'm made up that he's coming back home to finish his career where it all started.

He might not be the player that he once was but he should still go very well in the Super League. Hopefully he can sign off with another winners medal 🤞🏻

Best of luck to him.

Easier way to earn a few more years worth of income without the Dragons drama.

The hearing will continue today... and possibly tomorrow as well.

One of my favourite players, wish him all the best - and hope he'll be back to take up a gig with Fox because I really enjoy his honest and passionate commentary on the game.
