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

Elston said there will be [uMORE[/u signings in the future so Hickey may be one of them. only time will tell.

The obvious difference though is that we have actually signed Higgins and (as yet) have not signed Hickey.

You can shout all you like but all we can really do is get behind the players we have actually got. Bearing in mind the number of players we have taken on in the past that nobody rated/wanted who have turned out to be good for us, and the ones others wanted that turned out to be rubbish for us, I would still just wait and see how they get on.

I suppose a parallel can be made between two ex players. Would you rather have had Wilkes in the side or Tronc? One is undoubtedly more talented than the other yet one gave much, much more to the club despite their inferior ability.

Would have Stozic back as well as we know what to expect from him.

I'll await your normal retraction/I said it all along (no one can be bothered to trawl through your guff to prove you didn't) post

Imagine if we could have Stosic and Tronc (with Wilkes's commitment) in the front row...? Beautiful

that would be amazing.....

As Sunday showed that forward power would be useless without anyone to take advantage. Imagine Brough behind that pack. Daft as it sounds just those three players would transform this team of tryers into, at the very least, a top 8 side.
