Apparently the have switched their attention to Hickey due to Phil Baileys retirement which has released a quota spot.. Bailey only retired the other week

Am i right in thinking the only article linking hickey to salford was on skysports? Well apart from the wind up on wiki. Id like to think weve agreed something with him months ago otherwise why would he wait so long to join a club when he could sign for whoever he wanted months ago

I have seen Higgins play hes a overweight prop who does 10mins a half .Hickey as played at the highest level. ITs like saying how do you know MAN UNITED WILL BE IN TOP 4 AND WOLVES IN THE BOTTOM HALF NEXT YEAR. Dont talk rubbish.

I would say that Hickey is bigger than Higgins

That Hickey is fatter?

according to an article from james eslton, we have also extended russ spiers's and matty wildie's contracts by two years

Just because Hickey has played in the NRL, it's no given, as you should know , that he's going to come here and tear it up. How many times, have we brought a Aussie over, only for him to not live up to the hype. Wheres as, how many times, have we brought a English player, with something to prove and has turned out to be a great deal. I've got a mate, who watched him play the other day and he said he was the stand out forward and he will be a good addition, to add depth to our small squad . Just because we are buying him doesn't mean that we aren't looking for more quality to fill our overseas places.

Yes there are plenty of players that have come from Aus/NZ who we have all got very exited about just because they have a fancy sounding name it does not mean a thing.

Winterstein
Peterson
Tronc (good player but did not last long)
Magic Millard (who was not as magic as we expected)
That big lump from last season
Hood

I could go on.

Tyke will go well at your gaff, strong runner of the ball, makes very little errors and is a pretty tough defender. I've always liked John Kear as a coach as he is very honest and has always been very complementary about Wire. Hope you guys managed to stay is SL next year.

No problem for me signing players like Higgins. Knows the area so no settling in, young, british somet to prove. Sounds perfect although only time will tell

I feel the same way - I'm getting disproportionate enjoyment from watching a team full of young, British players trying their hearts out each week, despite the thumpings. Higgins appears to fit what we've created, so he'll do for me until he proves otherwise.

I certainly won't judge him based on a picture off of t'internet - that's just potty.

GOD SAKE HICKEY WILL BE MILES BETTER THAN HIGGINS ARE YOU DOPES FOR REAL LOL JESUS
