Dont let Stevo fool you lad

the only reason he as made Higham is 09 favourite player is to have a well hidden dig at Wigan.


Next it will be Calderwood he'll big up to be the one that breaks aussie hearts

But Stevo says we should never have let him go, so it must be right then

Have you forgotten Kieron Cunningham? And Matt Diskin? And Danny Buderus? The list goes on..

And Higham, world class? How can a hooker be world class when his distrobution is poor? That's the whole point of a hooker, not one decent run from dummy half every 10 minutes.

Brad Drew/Terry Newton/Sean Berrigan/Ben Fisher/Ryan Hudson!

Anymore????

This is ridiculous. Higham is not world class.
Just better than Riddell at present.

Give him time, He'll be better than Higham as well as the other 10 or so better than him already!

http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009 Higham compared to Riddell, although Riddell has played one more game. There isnt much in it, but the stats lean in favour of Higham IMO. Scott Moore would be ahead of both of them. Comparing the stats for all the hookers I can be bothered looking at - Diskin at the moment is the best, followed by Roby.

Bear in mind (Due to Ankle Injury) I think Riddells played 120/130 minutes in 3 games, I think Highams Played 80 both games! (Or not far off)!

See my earlier post, theres nearly a Dozen Better Hookers in the English Game at the moment (Not including Rogues!) and listening to Stevo/Hemmings on SKY plus the other Pair of Numpties of GMR Dearden and especially his leigh mate Hunt is just sickening!

He can have all the time he likes - in the reserves behind Tommy and McIllorum.

I never went along with all the hype about this signing but was optimistic that he was what we needed given all the games I have seen on TV from Aus. The biggest disappointment is his conditioning. I know he might be carrying a knock but look at him - is disgraceful too strong a word?

He's going to be the kind of player that needs to be fit/training all the time before we see the best of him.
He shouldn't have played at Hull (Probably Wakey as well) but given time He'll go ok.
The main point is we had 3 years of Average Higham and we had to try somehting else, whether Riddell is the Answer only time will tell but 3 games isnt enough!
