Yes he is, he's a reliable professional fit athlete....Hicks is exactly the type of player who we should be looking to sign.

Tickle would also improve our team.

tickel not comein now

Why not? Ageism?

PS

Brining Tickle in, would mean we could rotate Anderson and Westwood.

Fully agree.

tickel is not sighin its leaked out to hull and they not happy so the signing is off .

Stop spouting rubbish child

i will spout your noise over your face if you dont off you little

prick

Yes because its the usual bandwagon thing, if he's over 30 he's only here to top up his pension, younger players will be more committed etc

The way some fans want it, we would only sign 20 year olds so they could be in the team for 12 years....then we'd have the same team for 12 years....

My thoughts on older players are that you just have to look at the fitness, some players decline rapidly at a relatively young age through injury or whatever (eg Daryl Cardiss was past his best at 27, same with Toa who was not as dangerous a player at 28 as he was at 23). Other players enjoy the peak years of their career in their 30s (Jonathan Davies, Forshaw, Ruben Wiki, Steve Price). Forwards especially.

The sportsmans dilemma is usually a trade off between physical attributes and technical/mental attributes, ie the longer a player plays any sport, the better he becomes at it, the better he understands it, but this is countered by physical deterioration. Andy Flintoff gave a recent interview saying its a shame but he's now a better bowler than he's ever been in his career and its too late. If his body was in shape he would probably be the best fast bowler in the world for the next 3-4 years like Courtney Walsh was towards the end of his career.

The best type of player then is the older player who is still in hot physical condition, because he's going to have improved his technical skill and reading of the game but still got his fitness - AC Milan make a policy of accumulating that type of player which is why they won the Champions League with a team of 35 year olds.

heard he`s already signed so hull can lump it if they dont like it...

St Ives is the new 'Star' of the board.
