Bad luck.

Wow, someone is bitter. Why does it stink of cheating? Hicks was considering retiring at the end of last year and has obviously discussed this with the club before making his decision. Monaghan has been training with the club and is obviously interested in teaming up with his older brother. It is interesting how much people on this site seem to know about what our players earn.

Monaghan won't be on as much as people think. Joel is getting the oppertunity to build his career back up. He will also have the support of his brother all the time now which would have made the move to warrington make more sense than going to the other rumoured club Catalans.

Kerry Katona for one.

He's missing the point. It's not about Warrington being over the salary cap, the RFL are supposed to be taking care of that element. I don't believe the Warrington squad is 'too good' to be under the cap, it's not as good as Wigan's for example.

Chris Hicks' departure is where the cheating is.

The truth in this is no doubt that Hicks was gently leant on in order to take the decision to retire.

It's dodgy, surely you can see that?

Still the most talked about team in Super League, I see.

They have won the CC twice,isn't that good enuff?

As an expat, the hiring of an another aging aussie numpty, who did something so vile is nothing short of embarrassing. Sorry.

Give the job to a local.

...who'll have full on sex with the dog. Sorry, you walked into that.

I think I'll trust the club on this one unless someone demonstrates where we have cheated as you suggest. I think to suggest cheating and dodgy deals have gone on is a little disrespectful to the club and to Chris Hicks but each to their own.

Well...no not really. Looking at some of the comments round here you would think the only thing that could stop Warrington winning everything was kryptonite





AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hicks had stated that 2011 would be his last year, but it seems something changed his mind

would hicks have retired if this monaghan scandal didn't happen? i doubt it, i think you would have to be very nieve if you believed hicks walked away with nothing, moran would have probably given him a nice pay off, doesn't mean it has to be seen on wires books, could've come from his buisness account or partners, there are ways of getting round the cap!
