If our signing of Joel Monas was going to leave Chris Hicks high and dry with nothing for his last year in the game I'm sure Joel would have signed for Cas or Cats for next year as originally thought. The fact that he's signed for Paras obviously shows that Chris wasn't 'retired' or shown the door. The club appear to have done the best they could for all concerned as Seb says.

Hicks farewell is on Wolves TV now.( Would post link but only takes you to splash screen anyway)

painful viewing. Was so bitter-sweet.

I didn't get the impression he was nailed on to anything there.
And seems the big thing for leaving was for Joel.

i reckon he shed a tear for Warrington. Seems like he enjoyed his stay.
