i cant beleive u said that Wires71 hes got pride for the town and hes been there for ten years an considering he missed the final last year he is trying his hardest to get backi there again. also i agree his offloading like solomonas has caused quite alot of havoc comeing of the bench!!

TANCW - do you not rate Mick?

So why when he was manager of England did he select Clarke and not Higham??

I think he is limited. He serves a good purpose when he's on good form and gets some scoots from dummy half. However, I think he is very inconsistent and not as reliable as Jon Clarke. I think it was JWP during the close season who said you'll always get 8 out of 10 from Jon Clarke, whereas with Monaghan, you'd get 10 out of 10 one week and 5 out of 10 the next (he might revise that now). Higham, I'd say, is 8 out of 10 sometimes, but then he has some 6 or 5 out of 10 matches. I'd say he has very few, if any, 9/10 out of 10s.

Shows you how good our team is then if he isn't even in top 5 or so players, coz i think loads of players have been great this year

Maybe his opinion has changed since 2007 ?

Also Higham has a Warrington contract that was signed by Smith and is also longer than that of Clarke.
