James Graham is signing for the Bulldogs another stand-out player from Super League.
We have had some fantastic overseas players over the years but we're trying to reduce the number and promote our own young English players (in order to grow the national team and enhance our chances of winning some silverware on the international stage).
That's not just a Wigan thing it's a Super League thing. The view over here is that we still have too many overseas players.
It's nice to see the NRL recognising that there is some talent over in England rather than dismissing us which perhaps has been the case with some figures in the Rugby League media over there.
