higham wont struggle ,but vinnie on bench to rest him after his 50 tackel stint as per ,shame defenders dont get noticed

Jon Clarke is rock solid in defence but people never seem to notice that part of his game.

yes your right ,one of the best 3rd men in defenders i have every seen .you need maybe to take up some other sport

stupid you are son shine ,if you think clarke is a good defender you realy need go and sort your ichy head right out ,he drops on 3rd man if your very lucky

A fit Clarke is twice the hooker Higham could ever be. He has a much better passing, kicking and tackling game than Higham, and is less error and penalty prone.

it didn't take Smith long to relegate Higham to bench hooker did it.

Too right, I don't like Higham, definately number 3 in the camp at hooker and the news I've heard from the HJ is that Monas is out. Big blow maybe, but we have the squad to cope. No choice but Higham in at 9, I just think he lacks direction... KR away perfect example. Would not have him play 80 or we stand no chance! Vinnie backup is a good call, definately rotate. Think TS will move Bridge to 6, King centre, Riley back on the wing, Higham in at 9 with Harrison moving to 13 and Wood in at 10. Coops and Tyke filling the bench. Rest the same as last week. C'mon the Wire! ISWT!!!

Bridge to 7 sorry, typo error.

source please

what a pile ov ,bitter and twisted cos sold for that fat waste .smith hates higham ,thats why hes just offerd a new deal dick head

I see we have even more mature people joining the Warrington board. Woohoo!

no a new right one ,not a old one with the same old crap

At least we have seen the last of St Ives & digger. They were idiots.

Are you Steveo6 by any chance?Get rid of 1 idiot then another pops up.Like a conveyor belt on here lately.

No he's not, like Pocket Trout has already said, he is St Ives, digger, and probably a couple more. Don't you recognise the classy and well thought out posts?
If Monas is out, then so be it. we've been lucky with injuries so far this season. Grix will start at half-back and Higham as Hooker. I'd play Ben Harrison at 13 Cooper will come in at Prop and do a good job with Moz, woody and Solomona, whilst Vinny anderson on the bench will cover a multitude of positions. We coped without Briers, we can cope without Monas.

You're right, right with the "deal with it" attitude, that's what Che will be saying. We're a squad, sometimes you have to reach into that squad.

That said, we're going to struggle aren't we. Everything we do comes off Monas, he's massive for us, massive.

Seriously now, if we go there tonight without Monas & Myler and win, then we really are serious contenders to win this whole thing. We probably are anyhow, but it's times like this that would serious ram home that message.

Maybe you should take up some English lessons, or better still, take up getting a life, I hear that's running hot at the mo.

i rate higham better than clarke and i think TS does as why would he have just signed a new contract? clrke good defender good passer but is very slow seen that last year before higham got injured we played the ball alot quicker but monas is best hooker in SL so massive blow

He was even quicker to rush him back from injury to include him in the team that won the Challenge Cup last year. Wasn't given a chance of being fit but Smith was confident enough in what he would add to the team to throw him straight back in for such an important match after months out injured.

Higham is a good impact hooker, just because your numpty club tried to make him something he wasn't you shouldn't hold a grudge for years afterwards. I bet your still moaning about Denis Moran not organising the back line.

At least you've got current project Karl Pryce to work on - and you call Mickey Higham, give it a rest.

No, his goldfish gob mate Millward tried to make him into something he ISN'T. As soon as Noble arrived he relegated Higham to bench hooker, behind Millard and McIlorum.

Then, like Saints we got rid.

Now we have a good starting hooker in Riddell and we start scoring tries again.

I never rated Higham at Wigan so it's not an anti Wire thing.

However, as this thread is about Monaghan, he is a player that I have always rated (as a hooker) and said when you signed him that was by far his best position.

Without monaghan im alot less confident of coming away with a win now, however hopefully higham can step up and have a top game and get make good metres from the ruck. Pressure will be on briers more now aswell as monaghan has done a good job of taking the control of the game at times along with myler. Come on the wire!

i think we are currently top of the league for tries scored?

Are you a complete kn ob or just doing a great job of impersonating one?

Clarke is a great defender, that's why last year he was completing at around 95%, highest in our squad and in the top 10 of the comp. Also his distribution is twice as good as Higham's. He's a voice on the pitch aswel, a leader in the team. The only critisism most people will have is that he doesn't take the line on enough! You don't get a GB cap for nothing...

I'm sure we can take it that he won't play or Guardian wouldn't have stuck this on their site. Big responsibility for Briersy and whoever partners him in the middle to move Leeds around and find some gaps. Was confident without Myler but less so without Monas as well. Makes it even more important that our forwards give theirs nothing. If we can defend the middle of the park well it will make it really hard for them to play off scraps with little go forward. If we get it right we can still come away with the points. ISWT.
