James Graham, English rugby league player
James Graham (born 10 September 1985) is an English former professional rugby league footballer who played as a prop for St Helens in the Super League, and at international level for England and Great Britain
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 and the St George Illawarra Dragons 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-Bankstown 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.
