This is what im hearing.... can anyone confirm?

www.warringtonwolves.org/joel-mo ... olves-3853 Says there that he has to let Monaghan in. Says that he was reconsidering his retirement, and he knew that if Monaghan came in then it was a good replacement for him.

yep... he is deffo retired..... so long Mr Hicks... thanks for the brilliant memories (of which there were many).

One of our best ever overseas signings thanks a lot Chris

Am not happy with this at all I rate Joel Monaghan but Hicks is class and it sounds like he's been forced out he deserved alot more then this.

I've just seen Hicks' overall record at the club on that link:
Chris Hicks stats at Warrington Wolves:

Debut 8/2/08
Played 82 games, scored 71 tries and 144 goals – 572 points in total

71 tries in 82 games is quite amazing really, he will be sorely missed.

71 tries in 82 starts says it all. Thanks for everything Chris, great player, super bloke.

He was class even at his age would of loved to of had here in his 20s.

I just really hope Hicks has wanted to retire but it all seem too planned.

no room for sentiment in top level sport.

Hicks has been brilliant... but he is at the end of his career... Smith obviously thought the chance to sign Monaghan was to good an opportunity to miss.... im sure Hicks got a nice paypacket out of the deal as well.

Out of interest why only a 1 year deal? Planning to go back to the NRL after its all died down? Otherwise why not with an option of a further year etc.

I suppose it could just be that he'll get a new contract next year on more money if and when it becomes available on the cap.

Really hope Hicks comes back at 1 of the first matches of the new season to get a proper send-off from the fans. He has been fantastic for us. All the best for the future Chris

Maybe they've paid him the final year of his contract anyway

what a player chris hicks as been for us i wish him all the best

That is some try scoring record!

Warrington must be barking mad getting shut of him for monaghan.

gutted

dont really know much about joel monaghan ? cept he likes dogs lol is he a fair replacement or what ?

Cracking player, going to be sad to see him go. Joels got some big boots to fill! ISWT!

Can see that being the first of many




anyway...

cheers chris, too many memories to mention.would love him to come back for the first home game and get a proper send off,its the least he deserves.

no he is rubbish.

Wouldn't it be great if we could send Hicks off on a Grand Final win

Do you have a time machine?

Hicks came to Wire after scoring 78 tries in 181 games in the NRL. He then doubled that scoring rate for us.

Monas (J) comes to Wire after scoring 90 tries in 165 games in the NRL plus SOO and AUS recognition.

Gutted that Hicks won't be playing again but you can't argue with the CV of the replacement (minus recent dodgy behaviour!)

better not play him away at saints this year, he won't be able to take his eyes off our mascot.

Thanks for all of the memories, Chris...
