Totally different situation from the $eastmoney situation as can be seen from these first few comments.



JG is a player who gives 100% all the time and genuinely cares and this will be clearly reflected in how the fans will view his departure. This is player testing himself (yes he is getting well paid for it) and good luck to him.



Just hope to see him back in 3 years time.

Gutted but wish him all the best.

I think their longer off seasons will do him the world of good.

Tis all about who we can replace him with now to soften the blow.

Good move for him. Good luck Jammer - just remember to come back to us later.

Can I boo him now?

Good luck to him - quality player who will (hopefully) only get better by playing there.

All the best to the big red machine, Superleagues loss is NRL's gain. Can only be good for England RL having so many of our top class players now playing in OZ

Anthony Laffranchi has been mentioned by some aussie types already. Any truth in this?

I very much doubt we'll be able to replace Graham with a player of similar attributes.



There's too much money in the NRL. SL clubs cannot compete. Most likely we'll be forced to spend on second tier NRL talent.



Good luck to Graham. But this (and the loss of our other marquee name - Eastmond) hardly speaks volumes for the stature of the club - especially moving to a new stadium - or SL in general.

Great player and will fit in with saints. He's just returned from wrist and shoulder ops and is now out for 2 month with ankle injury.

It says nothing about the stature of the club, it speaks volumes about the stature of the NRL over Superleague i agree with you on that, it also speaks volumes about the salary cap in Oz and the the exchange rate between oz and here

Of course it does. It's not cast in stone, you know.

Adam Blair would be very welcome.
