| Didn't see last nights game but I don't care how bad the hookers were, Higham should not be in the squad.

I did and he's still right. I really like Mickey, a great club man and always gave his all to the cause, but the answer he is not!

| Is this the same Mick Higham all Wigan fans were pleading for him not to go and begging him, creating banners?

Exactly. In answer to the other poster, why would I have to watch last nights game to know whether Higham should be in the team?
He is not an international standard hooker, and by this I mean not good enough to play for England against either New Zealand or Australia.

Oh no they were not. My views on Higham are exactly the same as they were when he was at Wigan, and ones I if you go back yo his time at Wigan were well documented.
The majority of Wigan fans who know their rugby will tell you that bringing in Higham and getting rid of Newton was one of the worst decisions Wigan have made.
The first chance Noble got he signed Shane Millard, and then when Highams contract was up got shut.
If Higham is the answer then why has he been shown the door at Saints and Wigan?
Just finally, I have nothing against Higham personally, he is a smashing lad, but IMO not a top class hooker.
Do you think it was co-incidence that Warringtons form improved when Monaghan and Clarke shared the hooking role?
Just to illustrate the point
Wigan tries per season
Newton as hooker
2003 - 125
2004 - 125
2005 - 119
Higham arrives
2006 - 110
2007 - 102
2008 - 104
Higham leaves
2009 - 130

What are you on about?
Prior to Higham getting injured Warrington had lost just 1 out of their previous 8 games and Higham was in the running for our player of the season at that stage.
After his injury we lost the next game at home against a badly out of form Bradford and then won away at Catalans when Clarke did 80 minutes at hooker. Our only other Super League wins without Higham were Hull at home and Celtic away (2 of the bottom 3).
So to clarify winning 3 out of 10 is an improvement of form compared to 7 out of 8. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Mickey Higham and Warrington; I'll bookmark it for future reference.

Why did you edit your post rather than respond to mine?
