context_page_description: James Graham is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays as a prop for St. Helens in the Super League, and plays for the England and Great Britain at international level.
  He previously played for St Helens in the Super League, having won a number of Championships and Challenge Cups with them before moving to Sydney for the 2012 NRL season. He has played for the Canterbury Bulldogs in the National Rugby League, and has played for the NRL All Stars.
  Graham is considered somewhat of an unlucky figure in his playing career when it comes to grand finals, losing six grand finals in a row including five in a row with his former club St Helens in the Super League competition across the 2007-2011 seasons, and with the Canterbury Bulldogs in the Australian National Rugby League in 2012. He then went on to play in the 2014 NRL Grand Final defeat by the South Sydney Rabbitohs, and he also featured for England in the 2017 Rugby League World Cup Final defeat by Australia.
context_section_description: He played 26 games in his début NRL season and was part of the Bulldogs team which lost the Grand Final to Melbourne Storm. However he was at the centre of the match's most controversial incident when he appeared to bite the left ear of Storm fullback Billy Slater. Graham denied the charge but despite inconclusive video footage  was widely condemned and subsequently suspended for 12 matches by the NRL Judiciary in a hearing lasting ten minutes.
  After Canterbury captain Michael Ennis was ruled out of the 2014 NRL Grand Final due to a foot injury, Graham along with teammate Trent Hodkinson were named co-captains of the Bulldogs for the match. At the Bulldogs 2015 season launch, Graham was named the club captain for the club's 80th season, replacing former rake Michael Ennis. It was also announced that the Englishman will be joined in the role with newly appointed vice-captains, Aiden Tolman and Frank Pritchard.
