diskin to start for me for the expiriance, and roby or higham off the bench

Didn't see last nights game but I don't care how bad the hookers were, Higham should not be in the squad.

As you said, you didnt see the game.

I did and he's still right. I really like Mickey, a great club man and always gave his all to the cause, but the answer he is not!

Is this the same Mick Higham all Wigan fans were pleading for him not to go and begging him, creating banners?

Serious re-writing of history there matey!

Exactly. In answer to the other poster, why would I have to watch last nights game to know whether Higham should be in the team?

He is not an international standard hooker, and by this I mean not good enough to play for England against either New Zealand or Australia.

Oh no they were not. My views on Higham are exactly the same as they were when he was at Wigan, and ones I if you go back yo his time at Wigan were well documented.

The majority of Wigan fans who know their rugby will tell you that bringing in Higham and getting rid of Newton was one of the worst decisions Wigan have made.

The first chance Noble got he signed Shane Millard, and then when Highams contract was up got shut.

If Higham is the answer then why has he been shown the door at Saints and Wigan?

Just finally, I have nothing against Higham personally, he is a smashing lad, but IMO not a top class hooker.

Do you think it was co-incidence that Warringtons form improved when Monaghan and Clarke shared the hooking role?

Just to illustrate the point

Wigan tries per season
Newton as hooker
2003 - 125
2004 - 125
2005 - 119

Higham arrives
2006 - 110
2007 - 102
2008 - 104

Higham leaves
2009 - 130

What are you on about?

Prior to Higham getting injured Warrington had lost just 1 out of their previous 8 games and Higham was in the running for our player of the season at that stage.

After his injury we lost the next game at home against a badly out of form Bradford and then won away at Catalans when Clarke did 80 minutes at hooker. Our only other Super League wins without Higham were Hull at home and Celtic away (2 of the bottom 3).

So to clarify winning 3 out of 10 is an improvement of form compared to 7 out of 8. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Mickey Higham and Warrington; I'll bookmark it for future reference.

Rogues booty on a plate...

Cant understand a word your saying

Why did you edit your post rather than respond to mine?

Here's the reality.


[urlhttp://www.superleague.co.uk/results.php?team=Warrington&days=&submit.x=8&submit.y=6&submit=login&c=88&s=2009&id=[/url

Your eight superleague games prior to the Bradford home game were
Catalan Won (Higham started)
Salford lost (Higham started)
Cas lost (Higham started)
Bradford won (Higham sub)
HKR lost (Higham sub)
Huddersfield lost (Higham sub)
Wigan won (Higham sub)
Cas won (Higham sub)


But you do seem to have done a little better when Higham was sub.

I was checking the stats at the time you posted, and I have now also replied.

Who mentioned Super League games. We had a rather good cup run this year. Check your bookmarks if you can't remember.

Either way you said our form was better after Higham got injured which it wasn't so do you accpet you was wrong? Simple yes or no will suffice.

have a milky drink and get yourself in bed ,have you been worrieing rats all day old man

What were the eight fixtures up to the Bradford game?

The actual previous 8 games were actually:

Castleford - W
Hull KR - W
Wigan - W
Hull - W
Featherstone - W
Hull KR - L
Huddersfield - W
Bradford - W


You will also notice that in real life a score of Warrington 40 Huddersfield 18 goes down in the records as a win for Warrington and not a loss as you reckon. Care to admit you was wrong yet or do you want to bookmark it and come back later?

I accept I made a mistake with the Huddersfield game, but how come you are counting the cup games in which Higham played and not the ones in which he didn't. It would be a much fairer comparison to just use the Suoerleague games, and didn't you also rest a few players in the build up to Wembley?

Also as I pointed out on the tries for Wigan when Higham played v the tries when he didn't, it's interesting to note that since he arrived at Warrington your league position has slipped from 6th to 10th, although even I wouldn't put that just down to Higham would I.

I still maintain he's the third best hooker at Warrington, and should be nowhere near an International jersey.

Couldn't give a toss how many tries Wigan scored in each particular season. You could argue Warrington didn't win a major trophy for 35 years before Higham and won one the first season he is with us. Put like that he's hearly as super-human as Sam Tomkins is.

You said Warrington's form improved when Higham was injured and Clarke and Managhan rotated at hooker. It didn't - you was wrong just admit it or show us your bookmarks from pre-semi-final because we're still waiting for you to fulfill that promise.

u saying u set up more tries because piggy came over to replace higham? you probably scored more tries because you had your best side since 2005 as you had faster players. You probably scored alot more tries while piggy was on the bench after his 20 minutes

good man healey he is a total bull er just ed off cos higham as got better after leavein that hole and they have spent loads of money and still won nothing ,same again this year i hope ,well not hope i know now they will win nothing again ,riddell is the worst thing they ever did and they no it thats all down to super brian the man who won nothing but spent all the money and signed a load of duffers ,riddell smith feilding coley amos shall i go on

I think he said

I had one from him ages ago when he posted as lynott obsessing about Higham again: "did well last night or want was i up to your standards or the passing not good for you".

he must spend too much time with micky.
