Great to see Chris back for the eels today v the storm, had a decent game unfortunate to be on loosing side, eels 18 up with 20 mins to go and lost 22-18. One of a couple of really entertaining games this weekend in NRL. Dragons lost to the rabbittohs after being 20 up.

Well chuft for him. His hat-trick at Wembley last year was immense. He's currently pictured on a bilboard in Ashton being tackled by Sean O'Loughlin as part of a Sky Sports advertising campaign. Quality player.

Head high, no doubt......

I was walking through Manchester not far from MEN arena on Saturday afternoon and I noticed a billboard with that pic on. I was impressed to see it in a large city that isn't exactly a Rugby League town.

As for Hicks. Awesome.

I thought after having the pleasure of seeing John Bevan and Dessie in the P&B that I wouldn't see a better winger play for us than them but Chris Hicks made me think otherwise. Great athlete and fantastic finisher.

Miles better player than the dog botherer.

Does anyone know if Waterhouse is back for Penrith yet or is he out for the season?

Chris Hicks had the knack of making simple tries look tough on occasions, but score the almost impossible chances and make it look far too easy.

As for "miles" better than Joel, I wouldn't say so. If he's better, it's only just. Very little between them.

Waterhouse played at the weekend against North Queensland.

As for Chris Hicks - simply superb.

First when we signed him, all I knew of him that he was quick. He's been a great player for us. Scored the winning try against the pies to take us to Wembley, Scored a Hat Trick last year at Wembley, Gutted when he left.

Need to invite him back down to a game next season.

remember he came in with King and Monaghan and everyone was saying whos hicks he probably did the best of the 3 for first year or so

I dont think i have seen a better finisher at the wire in my time than Chris Hicks

The guy could regularly beat 5/6 men over a few yards to the line with apparent ease... and he also had the pace to go through a gap and full length.

Imagine signing the Chris Hicks of 4/5 years ago into this side now.

He is the best winger I have seen at Warrington. I've been watching 12 years, but can only remember a few.

No Richie Barnett MF?

This may cause a bit of controversy on here but if we had the option to bring Hicks for next season to replace King I would.

If only

I would be very dissapointed if we bring in a winger who will be 35 next season to replace one of our star players....

Hicks just pips him tbh.

No room for sentiment, i think we should invite him back to attend a game though.
I'd also love it if they invited Nikau back when we next play Cas. Heart of a lion that man.

I don't think we'll replace King.

I think TS thinks that the solutions are already here (...plus Ratchford).

+ it saves us alot of Salary Cap room.
Evans is coming through and also we've got Riley as cover if needed.

As my name tag states, the man was a god for us!

As it's already been said out of the signings Hicks was always the one that didn't have the spotlight on him, and got on with the job.

Many tries scored and had a bit of pace, which to be fair J Monas hasn't shown yet.

Lets get him back for GF so he can go back to Oz with a full set of winners medals from the Wire!!!

Scored his first try for Paramatta today in a 26-20 defeat my Manly. Was a great try and took some scoring! Search user "Johnodawalle" on youtube and watch the round 23 highlights, his is the first try of the game. He did make a mistake for the second Manly try of the second half, but that seems to be the Parramatta way of playing at the moment...

Mistake, that's an understatement
