Higham has been the one bright spark in Wire's season so far.
You could hardly say the same about our hooker, could you?
Higham does the odd eye catching run that has Eddie and Stevo creaming themselves, but he does much more harm that they chose to ignore. 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.
