We don't need bird and are doing fine without him because of blokes like Bukuya and Graham stepping up. You start letting blokes like that go and who have we got to follow through in their place? Taga? We have already secured Gordon. If it meant not getting Jennings for keeping graham I go for that choice every time.

And if we lose graham, Peachey or some other young gun or buy will step up and fill his shoes.

It was the end of the world for me when we lost Douglas and Snowden, but Gibbs and Ross have stepped up fantastically if not better then them 2.

Fact is Jennings will win more games for us then Graham will. And it's all about them W's in the end

Seriously. People wouldn't be jerking their gerkins over Peachey so much if his last name wasn't PEACHEY. AK was an amazing talent as you know and how's that going for him. Sorry but I'd take a tried and tested first grader over a reserve grader any day.

Graham was a reserve grade player when we bought him. Very limited chances in first grade at the panthers.

I'm not saying Peach will be the one to replace Graham. I'm just saying it will be a hell of a lot easier to replace Graham then it would be to buy or make another Jennings.

No way was he a reserve grade player. He already had like 50 games under his'belt at a very young age. Was shifted from 5/8th to make room for Travis Burns, no way would i say we bought him as a reserve grade player!

But we would be replacing a reserve grader with a bench reserve grader. What more could we ask for?

the thing I don’t get are people saying 'oh well we have depth in that area' ok yeah we have depth in the back row but we also have guys in those positions close to the end of their careers. so you toss out a guy you is a future captain and who has another 10 years left in him.
look to the future ffs

It's not even about that stuff.

It's what he does right now, on the field.

He and Bukuya are a big reason why we are defensively so good. With them there it feels like the field is only 50m wide.

They're also a reason why we're attacking so well. We're constantly stretching out the defensive forwards and then punching through them. Bukuya and Graham are the reason we can do this.

Graham can not be replaced. He is as important in that position as anyone is in any position on the field. An integral part in our team. Take him away and we lose more than just his individual value.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Graham will be as good as Glenn Stewart. Would be stupid to let him go.

Yep, whoever is happy to let Graham go has lost it. Jennings is talented no doubt, but why would you get rid of someone who is playing so well here, who is definitely a part of the team's long term plans for someone who is obviously has a few issues.

I don't care how good Jennings is. People should have some loyalty.
