I have saw patches of him and was surprised by how poor and unfit he looked. Lets face it, when a commentator -as was remarked on GMR- states "he looks like he needs to spend some time in the gym" there must be something wrong.
Until now I have jested with you, because of your steadfast refusal to look facts in the eye where Wigan are concerned, and your determination to supplant this with some sort of Orwellian dedication to the party line.
I do agree with you that Higham is the sort of player who reveals the flaws of SL - both froma playing and a rules perspective. He is the very symptom of that crashingly boring style of play - the quick scoot.
Acknowledging the need for balance in Australia, the powers that be quickly allowed more 'dominance' in the tackle which put an end to the most part, of crappy scoots which a schoolboy could do, followed on by a surrendered tackle to get another quick PTB in.
It is a malady which has helped stiffle creativity and take it away from Higham and you will always see poor distribution at the heart of his play.
