I am trying to see where his offload game is. I have just watched the game and didnt see an offload.

Your right.

NRL team!!! i watched eastmore and stanley rangers last week and he wouldnt get in them teams.I wouldnt be as bothered if he broke the line now and again and did what the aussies are good at the old offload but he cant do even do that.

Hes terrible... An amatuer prop would do as good a job as him...
What was the pass about opn the halfway line to howarth just before half time when he should have just took the ball in instead of putting us under pressure?
Would rather see Spiers or Trout have a run last couple of games...

Watched the game again and if Lee had got the last pass out then Hickey would have got the ball 5 out and with only Milner in his way, there would have been only 1 winner. If that pass had got to him he could have been a hero.

Just hope hes fit and ready for next year he owes us and the club to be ready.

Sorry bud, you must be very easily pleased. Didn't think did much more yesterday then normal, but gave it the benefit of the doubt and waited until I watched it on the box to comment and I am sorry but I cannot see where you are coming from with this.

Agreed! If you're reading Big H, keep up the good work!

AG and JE have been interviewing perspective coaches in Aus using Skype. So if Hickey is going home in the off season we could Skype him before he gets on the plane back.



We could also use the airport scales to see if he's 'ready' to return to training

i watched the game on replay last night first game i have seen in months... and i find myself wondering about what i read on here i must be watching the game through different glasses now i am in aus ...

clearly the team obviously lacks modern coaching... however, for a team with no halfback on the pitch.. they did pretty well on guts and effort.

I have never rated rinaldi and saw nothing against cas to change my opinion... higgins is a penalty machine and his two first half gimmies did as much as the tongia/ tadulala error to give momentum to cas. i include tads in the equation because his positioning was awful....

Tongia and wildie looked the only players with the skill and speed to really worry the defence, and hickey was the only prop with a smidgin of go forward although johnson worked hard from 2nd row and howarth looks to have potential.... morrison tried but had v little impact...i was really dissapointed with my first view of amor... did gledhill get on the pitch, i looked for his contribution but couldnt see it...... i expected more given the big wraps for those two on here...

henderson in the centre ha, ha... not in a million years!!!
morton ... give up now mate ... way too small and not the pace to compensate...
and whats the gig with tony? i thought he retired...


just my opinion...

Clearly you are watching a different game if you consider Hickey to even be a forward, he was dreadful end of. What you found wrong with Amor and Higgins is beyond me as both played way beyond anything Hickey could manage.

Tongi was for the most part poor, yes he clearly has some skill but had he been a British player he's have been bood off the park for the errors he made. So poor was he that he was replaced by Tony and rightly so.

just my opinion.

Hickey - I thought he went well, made good yeards, looked fitter than weeks previous. Looked genuinly interested. He did his share of the tackling also. With a good offseason i maintain he could be good for us next year.

Tongia - I was actually impressed. Made a few mistakes yes but made up on saving 2 trys. He has a step and speed and did cause trouble and to me could be usefull next year for us. Thought he played well at fb.

Gledhill - Went away thinking he was not good enough BUT... maybe prop is not the position he should be playing at the moment. He does not have the impact but has the mobility of a SR or loose.

I thought Tony looked like a beggar to put down, driving for extra few yards with players on him.

overall it was a decent and enthusiastic performance from the guys. And i enjoyed the match thoroughly.
