| I'm grateful for all that Mickey has done for us but getting £50,000 for a player who wanted to leave, and will be 35 in September is a great deal.
Higham was sold for £70,000 10 years ago in that Saints -> Bradford -> Wigan deal. And we bought him on a free.
Just think we bought Westwood for £60,000, Briers for £65,000, Nathan Wood £30,000

| Quote ="Dita's Slot Meter"Just a thought, but does almost 350 posts about the departure of a 34 year old Mickey Higham, actually highlight how far we have slipped over the last couple of years?
He's been a good servant, but if he is the be all and end all to whether Wire put up a decent showing this season, then things have reached a nadir, which we desperately need to arrest.'"
this whole debacle is no slur on wire. I imagine being a leigh lad, he wanted to finish his career at the club. WHY it had to be now (from our point of view), was probably down to sean penkywicz being out injured for 2/3 months.
only micky knows what made his mind up to leave right now - he could have said 'no' or maybe/yes to the 2016 season.

| Quote ="morrisseyisawire"Dear oh dear, what a mess.
First off, I hope young Dwyer seizes this opportunity and lives up to his undoubted potential, starting this week and culminating in a MoM QF winning performance against Leigh/Ley/Whatever. No hard feelings eh chaps, all's fair in love and war including breaking contracts.
Secondly, I fail to see how any blame can be attributed to Warrington or TS in particular. TS was clearly upset by the way Leigh & HIgham and his agent have engineered the situation and justifiably so. Some of us in the game still enjoy the kind of gentlemanly conduct that seperates us from certain other professional sports, but clearly such morality is on the wane or totally non-existent in certain areas.
Finally, I hope everyone down Hilton Village or whatever you call it these days, will be equally understanding when you fail to gain a place in SL and Ryan Brierley's agent has a chat in his ear when bigger clubs come-a-knocking. Whatever contract has his signature on is as irrelavent as the one Higham has been encouraged to break.'"
To say you hope leigh won't gain a place in super league is the worst thing I've heard on this board. It would be beneficial to the sport if we did surely??. Any fan worth his or her salt knows that leigh have a good following, which can only be good to create money within the game. Just because higham has chose to sign for leigh does not justify a pathetic comment like yours. I respect warrington and it's fan base so the way the above post reads is that you have thrown all ya toys out ya pram you pathetic human being. If leigh don't succeed then we will regroup and give it another shot the season after. Even when referring to leigh you mock us in your post, you need to get a grip.

Goodness me, loosen your belt a notch, the blood flow to your brain is getting constricted. I don't believe I said I [ihope[/i Leigh don't get a place in SL just that I [ithought[/i they wouldn't. If I wanted to mock Leigh I'd point out that Mickey will soon be packing down with someone for whom evolution is a rumour, and who can't even assault referees on the field of play without getting injured these days.

Leigh owner approaches Warrington owner about a possible early release so Warrington can chase other player & Leigh get cover.
Warrington owner agrees.

some Bull truly amazing bull .
what does that statement above actually mean? I mean read it through ....your saying you wanted our player early to cover your injuries so we can chase other players......
How the feck have you tried to make it sound like you did us a favour.... your off your heads......
and what players have we been able to chase.... ? what other devious scheming snake in the grass back stabbing hookers are available and willing to ditch their current club in the middle of the season....?any experienced pro's? any current or ex internationals, any with state of origin experience ? No...None.... just Higham then.
We've had to go back and get one of our kids..... and pay for him as well.
WE may have copped stick in the past for waving the cheque book and taking Ratchford Myler and Clarke but we never unsettled them. Christ we paid for Clarke and then sat back and watched him play out a man of Steel season for Castleford.!!!
I posted this sentence a while back before this state of affairs
"I like Leigh".....
Well I've done a mickey and had a change of heart.......I cant be d with em.

TS doesn't seem happy.
Don't know what to make of this. On one hand, I want to thank Higham for the service he's given, and the flak he has taken over the last few years, but on the other hand, I want to punch him in the face for the way he has gone about getting out of the club. I'm gonna stick with getting splinters in my backside by sitting on the fence, it's easier that way!

| It's all done now and let's move on from this.
The truth in all this will come out over time but Micky's gone, we have got vey good money for him and we move on. Warrington are a better side than Leigh and will be for a long time so let's not worry about the Lobby Gobblers and concentrate on making this season better than it has been so far.
Friday is a must win for us and I expect TS (annoyed with this saga or not) to have the lads fired up as Salford are there for the taking!
I'd like to thank Micky for his efforts whilst he played for us even though it has not ended like we would have wanted it to.

Don't be daft.
Leigh are the best team in England don't you know? They're going to breeze through the middle 8's and win the CC this year, and then win the GF next year. All whilst remaining unbeaten. Because they're the best. Ever. Fact.

| As has been said we got good money for him, he's old and we were going to half his salary next year, to me that says we didn't think he was worth his current salary. I can understand that getting Higham annoyed personally and if he can getter better security elsewhere then so be it. Mid way through the season is a little sly but if he can help Leigh get into SL then he is going to want to do that. I understand us being miffed but we are better off without a player whose mind and heart is now elsewhere.
