Thinking about it, they are smiler players in regards to weighing up the pro's and con's, for me Hicks just edges it because i thought Henry messed about to much i.e, silly steps, running sidewards and his inability to pick up a rolling ball.

Personally i think question 1 is hard to answer for the following reason, when Chris Hicks first arrived he was scoring tries for fun and i would say at that time he was a far better finisher than Fa`afili, what changed is Chris Hicks got messed about a bit in having to move to fullback along with taking on the kicking duties so he had a lot more responsibility.

If you left Hicks to be an out and out winger with Gleeson on form and as his regular partner then i think Hicks would be the better finisher, what Hicks hasn`t benefited from like Fa`afili did is an on song Lee Briers with pin point accurate kicking to the right wing. Lee Briers is now 3/4 years older since the Fa`afili days and his form had been in regression for a fair while now up and till showing a bit os sparke against the bottom of the table side at the weekend.

Question 2, Hicks for me as the better all round winger.

Hicks all day every day! henry was a one trick pony

I'm undecided. Earlier last year i would have said Hicks when he seemed to be scoring tries for fun but i dont know. I rated henry and as i said earlier in this thread i was always impressed with his tries in the corner. As others have mentioned this may have just been because he had more support.

Hicks will be good for us and i can see when the team start to settle he will scoring easily again.

I'm undecided, i'm tempted to say 'a mix of the two' but I hate it when folk do that.

He looked pretty nippy in his Manly days, but I'm sure he had quite a serious injury before he moved here, I wonder if that's affected him at all?

He does look a little slower and weaker this year, though.

yes but that '1 trick' was scoring tries

I get you, but I'd also point out that Henry scored plenty of tries from left & right centre when plonked there, plenty. I don't think we gave him the credit for the ability he had.

What de finish with ? Circa (total guess) 74 in 95 something like that. Up there with the best.

beat me to it, garrrr.

Towards the end of his stay at Wire, he developed into a very good attacking centre. I reckon if he was still here he could still be playing centre now.
Just imagine:

FB
Hicks
Gleeson
Fa'afili
Penny
...

He played the GF with a sprained ankle. I do agree he looks slighter than he did last year, as was mentioned in an article in the press recently.

As stated elsewhere, the threequarters have been msessed around with even though we are only five games into the season. Let's see how he goes after half a dozen games in a settled back line.

Maybe it is a simple answer - maybe he is trying to get a better angle for his kick at goal?

dont want to go off topic here , but if gleeson does go , how about givin hicks a go at centre , just a thought

I think Hicks himself has said his favourite position is wing.
