| joel will be a great signing, but i have to say the jokes on here are funny, especially the lyrics to she wore a yellow riibon by Abe Frohman.

Richards for one!! And he's not a patch on Richards IMO. Hes about Roberts standard.....good international class wingman but not world class.
He will be a decent signing but hes not in the world class category. TBH I expect him to have a stinker for the first year to 18 months anyway, in the same way as matt king, especially because he has been forced away from home, and will find it difficult with inevitable barking noices from the opposition fans every time he picks up a ball next season! I recon Wire would be better playing Chris Rilley for the first 12 months of his contract for this reason, and he certainly wont be as good as hicks would have been. Could be a mistake by the wires IMO especially in the short term.

So the International winger of the year, Man Of Steel and all time highest SL points scorer isn't world class? Well that means Warrington have NO world class players in that case as you have no-one who has ever come close to that sort of return.

Richards is not world class! did you watch any games involving Wigan lat year he was the stand out player of Super League, Monaghan is a class player but Pat is in a different league completely.

Will he play wing or centre?'"
Not seen enough of him to say he is or isn't World Class.
Think he was at his best in 2007 and 2008 going off his scoring record at that time plus he got the wing spot for Australia in the 2008 World Cup.
Who knows if he will be better then Hicks was but his scoring record of a try every 2 games in the NRL is decent and I think here is the best place for him right now, its not very often you get to basically trial an NRL player in your team in pre-season training before signing him which is what Smith has done really.

That is actually quite funny. I'm slightly alarmed that you knew how to find such pictures though.

| Quote: terryb "Am I or us to understand that Hicks has just retired and not taken any payment to do so?
So Warrington with their underpaid "stars" Morley, Michael Monaghan, King, Atkins etc. forgot Brett Hodgson can afford to pay Joel Monaghan . Well done for being able to manage the cap so well, obviously these people should be able to provide advice to our politicians as to how we can manage our finances.
'"
Is that a wigan fan talking about the salary cap???
