I'm sorry but, eight pages in, how is this thread title cool. I mean, why on earth are we derogatory to our own players, I just think it's pretty poor in truth. All this forum is becoming is a place to run down our players time & time again.

'One Trick Mick', for goodness sake. He's a bloke, doing his best for our club, who's shown pride in the shirt every time he's worn it, gives it all, like countless other players do.

It's just pathetic, supporters we claim to be. We offer no 'suppport' whatsoever.

Well said JWP, I agree entirely about running our own players down on here some posters seem to get enjoyment out of it.....

I can see the players are trying to deliver a concerted, committed effort which is a marked contrast to earlier this year and for that they are to be applauded. Including my old mate Matt King.

Personally that is all I want as a supporter.

that is what the wigan fans call him though isn't it, i don't think he's slagging him off just quoting

I was about to say the same.

I dont think the original poster was running mickey down, I think he was just using a 'nickname' that the wigan fans gave mickey when he was at the jjb.

Its only a bit of fun poking, im pretty sure it doesn't affect mickey in the slightest.

I'm not disputing the origin of the nickname though am I. He could just easily started the thread with 'Mickey Higham never wanted ...', but like most folk on here at the minute, if there's a chance to have a thinly or not so thinly veiled dig at a player, they'll take that opportunity with both hands.

I cant answer for des, but maybe he used the wigan 'nickname' because the article he was referring to came from the wigan press and maybe it was a slight dig at the wigan fans for thinking of mickey in that way.

I dont know, just having a stab.

Ive said on another thread that des has put forward a few interesting things today. I think some are far too quick to have a go at him just because of his past history/reputation.

Good debate this, I think both players suit it each other very well. Clarkey the distributes the ball very cleverly, defends well and communicates with the forwards very well. While Higham, provides that good impact off the bench, makes great runs from dummy half and can exploit the holes in defence very well.

Probably one of the best Hooker combos in the league. I'd prefer not to compare them as both of them bring different qualities to the hooking position and to the side.

yep agree with that mate
