Quote: sally cinnamon "For me the question is not about age its about fitness. Age doesn't affect all players the same way. Some players are very good natural athletes and are still quick, fit and don't miss many games going well into their thirties, eg Jonathan Davies when he was at Wire, Ellery Hanley at Leeds when he was breaking all those records for try scoring in the forwards, Paul Sterling was the fastest player in SL at age 36! Then on the other hand guys who have had injuries take their toll, like Daryl Cardiss and Toa Kohe-Love, were at 27/28 just shadows of the players they were at 22/23. Hicks IMO is an athlete, so he might be able to go on. If he still looks fit enough then I'd support him going round another year, if not then wish him all the best because he's been a good Wire.'"
I've said it before - for me Hicks is one of the naturally fittest athletes in rugby league. I hope he stays next year if he's playing like he is now.
