Hicks was / is pure class.
A fantastic professional and I shall be sad to see him go. I would prefer him to stay to be honest.
Also a really nice bloke off the pitch.

I decried his signing at the time (an Ozzie journeyman) but I couldn't have been more wrong.
Come back Chris for a match or two - you'll get a massive reception from us Wolves fans.

The powers that be should let us play him in one of the friendly games, to say goodbye

agree with all the sentiments. chris has been an outstanding player for us. i don't think i've seen a winger who who can finish tries off like chris, not just wire
but any side. to be honest i'm a bit gutted he's leaving us. joel is a quality player and i'm really looking forward to seeing him play but at the same time
our side will be missing something with no hicks.

That's an excellent idea.

I'd suspect that, given he's now retired, he'll be back off to Sydney as soon as possible. Staying a few extra weeks to have the dubious honour of a run out in a pre-season friendly is hardly appealing, is it?

He can fly back over next August to lead the side out at Wembley

I can't imagine Hicks wanting to play in a pre-season friendly with the Academy players in the freezing cold in front of a handful of fans. He will probably want to go back to the sunshine, watch the Ashes and have a holiday and not worry about keeping himself fit for training etc.

The club could invite him back to the HJ during the season as club guest of honour and then bring him out at half time or the end of the game with a microphone to say a few goodbyes and thanks to the fans and give everybody a chance to salute him then.

Also remember he'll be here for the 10 year reunion dinner of the back to back Wembley winners in 2019.

Chris Hicks will go down as one of our best ever overseas signings, a class act on the pitch and by all accounts a class act off the pitch as well.

I wish him and his family all the best for the future.

Hicks is the only the 3rd player in SL history to score in every game of a season, during his debut 08 season! Wires legend- will always have great memories of him flying down our right wing- best of luck whatever hes does next. Always welcome back at the HJ for me

And with the contract payoff and hush money he's got he's probably got enough money to buy the HJ nevermind visit it. He'll be lording it around the world for a year or two now no doubt.

Saddened, could you please read my post on page five.
This post is not for trolling.
Chris was a great servant to the Wire and we Wire fans want in a small way display our thanks for his time with our club.

I troll on the Saints forum particularly when you lose etc. Lets face it most people do.
But this is not the post for trolling.

Neanderthal. Enough said.

Now provide your proof to back this up, as i'm pretty sure what you've written here could be seen as libel should any club officials see it...

and to keep it within the thread - Chris Hicks: Best winger i've seen in the P&B. Really sad to see Spider go, and JM has got a lot to live up to.

I couldnt have put it better myself Hicks has been an excellant servant to the club who has never put a foot wrong so if he has been forced out to make way for someone whos morals are lets say questionable (we all know the details so i wont repeat them) then it stinks to high heaven

This is one wire fan who JM has yet to win over
