Recon he'll be up for the chop on Monday morning? Their results (and performances) have been far worse than ours. Higham had shocker 2nd half IMO

Managing to drop that superb pass from Hicks summed it up really

I know, then he dropped another under their own sticks with about 2 mind to go. I missed the 1st half, was he as bad?

Pretty much, he gave a few penalties away, particularly round the ruck and in the tackle

I'd have him back tomorrow if we could

Will probably get him a 2 page spread in he WEP.

"How I managed to drop that pass........."

Yet Eddie and Stevo spent most of last night ranting again about how good he is and why we should never have let him go!

Higham has been the one bright spark in Wire's season so far.

You could hardly say the same about our hooker, could you?

Eddie was just soo happy that wire got the numbers on there shirt sorted

Higham does the odd eye catching run that has Eddie and Stevo creaming themselves, but he does much more harm that they chose to ignore. His penalties nearly always harm hsi teams, and he gives away a shed load, last night 2 Higham penalties lead to the first 2 Trinity tries and the momentum fully with Trinity, second half Wire started to rally, Higham dropped ball followed with another couple of penalties leading to Trinity scores.

This is without mentioning his wayward passing, i lost count of the times Morley and Rauhihi had to check there runs to take his passes.

Higham is a quality hooker for those who chose to ignore his major flaws.

While i agree Riddell has been poor to date, i am certain when he gets fully fit he will be a fine assett to the club.

The only time I want to see him back is in a Warrington shirt when they play at the JJB.

Higham wasn't so much poor in the 2nd half v Catalans he was absolutely dreadful. Repeat performance last night.

Jimmy is starting to look ill he was as grey as a badger last night.

I'm not claiming that Higham always plays magnificently, or that he doesn't make mistakes.

However, the one sure way not to make mistakes, is not to do anything, and it looks as though our new wonder boy has chosen this option.

I agree, but i think once he gets fit you will see a far better Hooker than Higham wearing the 9 shirt at Wigan.

Yes, maybe, but why is he not fit?

Is he injured? If so, then fine, but I would love to know how he did it. Tripped up on the way out of the pie shop maybe?

If it is just down to his pure levels of fitness, then that is disgraceful, and yet another sad indictment of Noble's influence on our club.

I've seen all three Wire games on t.v.

He was o.k v Saints, poor v Catalan, and poor again last night.

He couldn't find a man in a gay brothel.

Now compare his performances to those of Riddell, and try to convince me that we have a good deal.

Think I should change this thread to 'mickey higham's performance'

Well, seeing that the usual Mickey Bashers are out in force, it would probably be a good idea.

What Wire need to do, obviously, is just get rid of Higham, and everything will be fine at Warrington.

Oh...hang on, wait a minute, I know of another club that tried that, and things just went worse.

Jack we're still waiting for for a list of all those very good young players Wigan have let go that they should have kept, and the ones they should have replaced.

Are you gong to Harlequins today?

No, we are not.

I started to reply to that, and you got bored after I gave you the first two. You realised you couldn't argue about it, and went back into your shell.

A little bit like you performance on this thread to be honest.

Your Higham bashing is getting a little tired, and your predictions of great things from Riddell are looking like the rest of your predictions.

You campaign for the foreign players, as our youngsters are not ready, yet the first youngster given a chance comes in and gives the best performance of the season so far.

It's not looking good so far, is it.

PS, Harlequins, yes, and you? You can buy me a pint.

Of course I'm going.

Leaving at 11.

And I'll gladly have a beer and a chat with you.

Lowes deinitely sounded like a person that thought he was going to get the sack.

Flight leaves 13:15 to Gatwick.

Coming back tomorrow.
