The only time I want to see him back is in a Warrington shirt when they play at the JJB.
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row

Higham wasn't so much poor in the 2nd half v Catalans he was absolutely dreadful. Repeat performance last night.

His penalties nearly always harm hsi teams, and he gives away a shed load, last night 2 Higham penalties lead to the first 2 Trinity tries and the momentum fully with Trinity, second half Wire started to rally, Higham dropped ball followed with another couple of penalties leading to Trinity scores. This is without mentioning his wayward passing, i lost count of the times Morley and Rauhihi had to check there runs to take his passes. Higham is a quality hooker for those who chose to ignore his major flaws. While i agree Riddell has been poor to date, i am certain when he gets fully fit he will be a fine assett to the club.
I'm not claiming that Higham always plays magnificently, or that he doesn't make mistakes.
However, the one sure way not to make mistakes, is not to do anything, and it looks as though our new wonder boy has chosen this option.

I agree, but i think once he gets fit you will see a far better Hooker than Higham wearing the 9 shirt at Wigan.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Yes, maybe, but why is he not fit?
Is he injured? If so, then fine, but I would love to know how he did it. Tripped up on the way out of the pie shop maybe?
If it is just down to his pure levels of fitness, then that is disgraceful, and yet another sad indictment of Noble's influence on our club.

I've seen all three Wire games on t.v.
He was o.k v Saints, poor v Catalan, and poor again last night.
He couldn't find a man in a gay brothel.

Now compare his performances to those of Riddell, and try to convince me that we have a good deal.

Well, seeing that the usual Mickey Bashers are out in force, it would probably be a good idea.
What Wire need to do, obviously, is just get rid of Higham, and everything will be fine at Warrington.
Oh...hang on, wait a minute, I know of another club that tried that, and things just went worse.
