I hope the rumours about Higson going to Swinton are not true. He has played centre against Super League opposition at least twice this season and has performed well in both matches. He marked Nero against Salford, a player who had scored about three or four tries against us several months earlier whilst playing for Bradford and came out on top. He scored our opening try against Catalan and defended well all evening. Has he got the ability to perform well in this league? Well I would have thought that was obvious. Does he look like he gives his all? Again, I would have thought that was obvious. Has he had injuries? Yes. Has he often been available but just not selected by Millward? Yes. Kelly and Rowley picked him regularly when fit. I have no idea what kind of contact he was given, but if it was a big one as some on here are suggesting, then it would seem Leigh must have rated him when they gave him the contract in 2008. The length of it alone, seems to suggest they were keen to keep hold of him. Adam needs the luxury of being given regular first team rugby in the same position. He would then improve IMO. Anyone with a degree of ability, needs a coach who has got faith and confidence in them and regular first team rugby, preferably when you are in Adam's situation, in a regular position. Whilst I would be sad to see him leave for Swinton, I would be glad to see him given a fair crack at another club and regular first team rugby. It is not always easy when you are given the utility tag and only selected sometimes. I hope he can thrive at Swinton and improve, in the same way that Mort and Cuniffe appear to have done. Good luck Adam, if you are moving on.
Well I be gutted, and for the last three years he s been the player this messageboard has sponsered, so thats says hes well thought of for us all to pick him out three years running.
