Hicks maybe doesnt dance round players anymore but im certain I read somewhere a few years back Hicks was a <11 second runner in his pomp in the NRL, he was good anyway, very good.

I was watching Sky Sports News before and it came up on that Rugby Union tab on the bottom of the screen it came up that Henry had signed
