Not in Wire team atm, is he injured, wouldnt mind him at Leigh next year, if we could afford him,with RHP retiring, he be good with Duffy as interchange.

If we could afford i'd be really happy to have him back. I'd guess one day he'll return home, a lot of players do.

Dont think hes injured, hes been running a fitness class on Tyldesley Park the last few weeks, unless its a small arm/ hand injury or something.

is he the wrong side of 30 yet?

Must be, he was same age group as me.

he'd be a good replacement for RHP.
A wealth of experiance and a player who can cover the halfbacks and hooker rolls and another leyther as well.

Too expensive

I'm not taking you on anymore,miners and east will be spending more on players than leigh next season.

I'm just not really into ex SL players coming in taking money and game time from decent young talent

Agree with that. Besides us not being able to ever afford both Duffy and Higham, I'm hoping for big things from Nicholson next year.

Think he was 18th man today was he not!?
Be surprised if both him and John Clarke are still at wire next season! Dint think we'll be seeing any of them at Leigh though! Have I seen somewhere that Clarke is widnes bound?

Too expensive for us me thinks though!

That talent needs to be good enough though doesn't it,plus we've already lost 4 quality players/match winners for next season.

Its sad to say but i suspect the north stand will begin to empty again if some of this quality is not replaced and the results start to go against us.

However, picking up the experienced pro's that have the right attitude and reasonable wage demands can really bring on your younger players.

His career went downhill when he signed for Fax.

Lad at work is a wire fan and told me quite a while back that Hill will be at Warrington next season and Higham will be at Leigh.............. 1 week later Hill was announced that he`s signed for Wire - as he got the other part correct?.......only time will tell.

He will be the kind of experience nicholson will need. Good player big wage bill !

if part of his wage could be offset like a few of the other players then it wouldn't be such a big wage would it.

Type of lad we need like RHP as been.......young lads will learn heaps from him and then wouldnt mind seein him move onto the coaching staff.

Well if he does come back it means so will shandy bass.

Shandy still goes to the odd game, I've seen him now and again.

I raised the Micky Higham opportunity a month or two back on a previous thread. People are talking about his wages etc but I thought the budget was dealt with through the money we received from Sky via the RFL? I'm sure a willing sponsor would support the deal if it was a reality.

With regards to the hooker overload, I'd imagine if Duffy stays he'll probably move back into the halves to be honest especially as we're losing Ellis. Shame about Govin because I'm positive we'd have moved to keep him next year as he was excellent early on this season.

shandy bass .................. who??!!

Shandy Bass , best served cold , with ice , but as you know i prefer the real thing ,its make me function at my best ,this is because my taste buds are getting on a bit now and need this sort of thing , this chap i have no time for , never a Leyther ,as some other are , we need more to follow and they will arrive with him .

What money do we get from the SKY deal?

I was under the impression each club outside SL received a pittance towards running costs each season which is part of the SKY deal.

If it isn't then I'd like to know where else it is coming from.

How about Greg McNally - noticed on Sky that Hudds were not offering a contract for next year
