| Quote: Wires71 "Just continuing the debate, I think to dismiss Higham's contribution as "a couple of scoots here and there" do him a disservice. The statistics are impressive and I know we look more menacing in attack with Higham on the field. I would be interested to hear your views on which attributes you believe Higham to be stronger than Clarke.'"
Clarkes hospital passes are by far the best in SL. |

| Quote: Lefty "Higham without doubt has an extra yard of pace on Clarke. Therefore when he spots a hole in the line he more often than not gets through it. He also is a better marker defender than Clarke. That seems to be an area we have improved this year and I put a lot of that down to him. Other than that I am struggling.'"
He is also an animal in defence generally. He is 7th in the SL tackle count charts as well as 4th in marker tackles.
I know stats are useless though according to some. I don'y know why all coaches seem to have someone recording and reporting on them  |

 He should be sponsored by BUPA. Probably earns enough commission from them. |

McIlrom from wigan is half decent imo and looks to be getting better and better.
Out of him, clarke and Higham i think id go for McIlrom.
The potential is there with McIlrom whilst the other two will never improve.

If Clarke was a giddy bleeder and ran from dummy half every play he'd go down quite well i'd imagine......
i'd be interested to hear the views of the Clarke haters on Say Danny Farrar... he never ran from Dummy half was a decent passer from marker and a great defender...... but was hardly spectacular
interesting that he was carried out of wilderspool shoulder high.......

some coaches wear sunglasses on their heads and not over their eyes, they dont get everything right....
also didnt someone on Sky probably Phil Clarke, say Higham is the most penalised player in the tackle...??
i'd use that stat just to you off.....

i'm with lefty on this one, i believe a lot of the hype with higham is down to a certain mike stephenson.
don't get me wrong, i am glad we have him in the team and i think he is a great impact hooker but it was glaringly obvious at the weekend that we played better and more controlled as a team when clarke was at dummy half.

Higham penalty to tackle ratio is 11/435 (2.5%), whereas Clarke is 2/220 (1%). So you are probably correct.

Not read through every post on this but when it came out that Brian Noble was not going to offer Mickey Higham another contract there were Wigan fans outside the J.J.B. with petitions to keep him.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

| Quote: Lefty "Also can I just add. I like Higham in his current role and I am glad he is at the club. I just don't think he is a better player than Clarke and I would rather have Clarke if I had to choose.'"
Higham and Clarke comparisons are a bit chalk and cheese. |

You need eyes not stats to know that the reason we have lost matches this season has been due to missed tackles, errors and conceding penalties.

Most of his performances in a Wigan shirt were poor/average. You only have to look at the 2007 season when Shane Millard outplayed him most of the year.

Clarke is better in defence

Pity we don't play american football
