Your are using the 'best to let them leave one year early, that one year too late'? Fair enough. |

His defining moment will be at Widnes.

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.

The only thing I would say to that is that the longer he's been here, the more games he's starting to miss. I'm pretty sure the first season he was an ever present. Then last year he picked up his share of injuries, and of course his start to this season has been plagued by injury. I guess the rest of this season will give us a decent indicator moving forward. |

Happened right infront of me.
In the ecstacy, some guy sort of fell into me, I fell into my mate and so on and so forth. It was like Dominoes. But very drunk ones. |

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. |
