I don`t know how to post pictures on this site but take a look at the `After`picture of Hickey on the Wakefield site thread (there is a link to an `Express` article) and compare it to the Quins web site `Before` picture...........hope Rob Powell is up for the challenge

Done jilch at Wakefield this year good luck with him you need it I fear.

Strange one- Size seems to be the focus for next year

10 subs more time on the field Hmmmm

Ps I thought there were rumours it was Korky from Wakey

Hickey's a fat pudding good luck with trying to get 10 meters out of him

Welcome Jarrad

Works for Catalans having big props, and we've got nowhere fast with small ones over recent seasons. Hopefully we can replicate their blend of local, French and Australian players to bring play-off footy back to London.

Hickey will have to undergo a miraculous transformation over the off-season to add any value to your pack; his condition when arrived with us was shameful and he's made for a pretty pathetic sight in most of the stints he's done for us - fat, sweating like a pig and after every tackle, missing the next 3 with his hands on his hips.

I was one of the WTW fans who, perhaps naively, hoped he would have a big off-season and break some heads for us next year; I'm a bit aggrieved therefore at the way he appears to have stolen money off us and as a result, he's one of the very few departing players who doesn't go with my best wishes.

Rinaldi on the other hand, has been a pleasure to watch - if he stays fit, you'll get good service from him; allez Le Barbu!

JuJu is coming home-he has been on loan to you lot

I wondered who would the larger than life player, you could not watch or look away from. Welcome Mr Hickey let us see if you can be Tookey II !

jarrod is a good player thats very skillfull but he does need to lose a couple of stone and really shape up if he does then you could potentailly have 1 of the best props in the league.

Tookey, Bawden, Hickey - latest in a line of XXXXXL London players. At least I'd fit in his shirt.

And it'll cost you the same to get his name printed on the back of your shirt. In fact, if you have a Tookey shirt, you could just cover the first 3 letters. Unfortunately, that's where the similarity ends.

Colly - re Jarrad's missed tackles, that's one area of Clubby's game that RP has managed to sort out (down from 92 in 2010 to 4icon_cool.gif. Hopefully, the beer and burger prices in London will deter The Hickster from over-indulging

Anyhoo, welcome Jarrad. I will be working on a song or two for our future Podgemeister.

Dan-Do you not think the tour with England helped Clubby with his defence (Eng and defence hmmmm maybe not!)

I agree that Powell is taking him on with his eyes wide open. He must be confident he can get Hickey back to his 2007-2008 shape. That'd be great for us.

Will we see something like this from him next season? www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMIkVTOp ... re=related

Fitness is the FIRST thing that he should be focusing on.

But who knows, watching RP's use of his use of the bench and in particular his prop rotations he may fit in the RPs plan of pulling a prop off after 5 minutes in the second half.

Well he's currently living it up in Munich at the oktoberfest having been on a good 'ol jolly up in Amsterdam, so good luck with that!

Oh.

I see him as the replacement for Karl Haggerty we never made. I'd be looking for him to play 30 mins a game, particularly to come on and give us some grunt against tiring defences. I'm not expecting much, just the grunt we've lacked because of a lightweight pack.

So he's gone on holiday in the off season?

The whole season has been his off-season.

He'll do alright here, then!

Poor signing, as a rule I dont mind us signing Aussies as Northerners dont always settle well in London. But not when they're like this, offers nothing that a British player couldnt bring and looked massively out of shape when he came down with Wildcats. If I wanted to watch unfit fatties playing sport Id be watching a different version of rugby,
