| Quote ="FireWire"Neither of them are the best hooker in the world, it says a lot about the standard of our game that either of them have played for Great Britain IMO.
However not sure a debate on who is the best is needed. Clarke is better at controlling the game, and defence, with Higham coming on later as he is more of an impact hooker. They're different type of hookers.
FWIW, I don't think Clarke should have been given a contract extension, as we are pretty much stuck with him until 2011. Someone like Diskin could come in and do a better job for us. I think McIlorum would be a good future signing if we can tempt him away from Wigan.'" what a pile of you talk diskin hahahahahahahah go away you pest

| I'm sorry but, eight pages in, how is this thread title cool. I mean, why on earth are we derogatory to our own players, I just think it's pretty poor in truth. All this forum is becoming is a place to run down our players time & time again.
'One Trick Mick', for goodness sake. He's a bloke, doing his best for our club, who's shown pride in the shirt every time he's worn it, gives it all, like countless other players do.
It's just pathetic, supporters we claim to be. We offer no 'suppport' whatsoever.

Well said JWP, I agree entirely about running our own players down on here some posters seem to get enjoyment out of it.....

I was about to say the same.
I dont think the original poster was running mickey down, I think he was just using a 'nickname' that the wigan fans gave mickey when he was at the jjb.
Its only a bit of fun poking, im pretty sure it doesn't affect mickey in the slightest.

I'm not disputing the origin of the nickname though am I. He could just easily started the thread with 'Mickey Higham never wanted ...', but like most folk on here at the minute, if there's a chance to have a thinly or not so thinly veiled dig at a player, they'll take that opportunity with both hands.

I cant answer for des, but maybe he used the wigan 'nickname' because the article he was referring to came from the wigan press and maybe it was a slight dig at the wigan fans for thinking of mickey in that way.
I dont know, just having a stab.
Ive said on another thread that des has put forward a few interesting things today. I think some are far too quick to have a go at him just because of his past history/reputation.

| Quote ="Supreme Optimist"Good debate this, I think both players suit it each other very well. Clarkey the distributes the ball very cleverly, defends well and communicates with the forwards very well. While Higham, provides that good impact off the bench, makes great runs from dummy half and can exploit the holes in defence very well.
Probably one of the best Hooker combos in the league. I'd prefer not to compare them as both of them bring different qualities to the hooking position and to the side.'"
yep agree with that mate

Oh yeah, defo. I think you three guys get way too much stick. The way folk go on, you'd think you three were trying to ruin the forum. P'ah, as if.

Totally dig your point but playing an advocate of the devil I wonder if you shared the same view on, let's say, Warren Stevens, Gary Hulse, Dave Alstead etc? What I mean is that none of these players were that good and wouldn't pull up any trees, but they had the attributes you refer to.
In closing I'm a huge Higham fan anyway and delighted he plays for us.

Come on JWP, you and me see eye to eye we know that, but I don't agree with what you say in this instance. It's a public forum open to anyone. You speak as if it's a pure, unsullied, vestal virgin which should not be subjected to any crude, common advance or lewdness.
It's become very fashionable for the more advantaged and intellectual posters to deride others, often whilst harking back to some imagined halcyon day which gives them great comfort. I don't think that does them much credit in the round. This is a RL forum for RL people, not the Oxford Union.
Let the babies have their bottle, the s be s, the aggressive be forthright, the uber elite reign supreme, the sanctimonious show piety, the debaters be erodite and the wordsmiths verbose.
Word of advice be selective in what you read/reply to and I'm sure we can all find a space to express ourselves on here. Even if you are a willy/wotsit obsessed smart bum button.
