TUILAGI ON TIGHTROPE

GRAHAM’S OZ FINALE

- BY GARETH WALKER BY DAVID McDONNELL

ENGLAND prop James Graham is set to finish his career in Australia after signing a three-year contract with St George Illawarra.

The former St Helens front-rower (right) will leave Canterbury Bulldogs and link up with internatio­nal team-mate Gareth Widdop ahead of the 2018 season. Graham, 31, said: “It’s the best move for myself and for both clubs.” Hull FC will be without Gareth Ellis and Steve Michaels for Friday’s clash with Wigan after both took early guilty pleas and accepted one-match bans. EDDIE JONES gave Manu Tuilagi a severe final warning after meeting with the shamed England centre.

Leicester’s Tuilagi (right) and Sale winger Denny Solomona were sent home from an England camp last month after a mega drinking session. Tuilagi, 26, has a history of off-field indiscreti­ons and coach Jones said: “He’s only done it once with me. “But if he does it again, then he’ll maybe be spending a lot more time in the Midlands. They understand they made a poor choice – and so does the team.”
