[size=200=redwonderful kick thank you[/size

Anyone that's critical of Hicks must have a short memory seing as last season he was our stand out player.



Everyone has an off day, yet listening to the radio (which was actually the worst commentary in the world seeing as it was doing about 50 other games at the same time) i recall Hicks getting kicks from the touchline ?

I'll never criticise somebody for missing a shot at goal under those circumstances. I will criticise Chris Hicks though, he's abysmal at fullback. He takes ages to field general kicks in play, then doesn't beat a man running the ball back lethargicly. He doesn't support the ball carrier from there whatsoever neither.



His performance levels are very different dependant on whether he's on the wing or at fullback. He looks vastly improved from the wing, not just his try scoring exploits, but he looks far happier collecting the ball at acting half etc.



We need Riley or Mathers fit asap.

is playing out of position really his fault though, like you said yourself on the wing he's a completely different prospect

It's circumstance, he's obviously the most 'natural' option that we have right now.



It just baffles me that three coaches have played him there, and nobody seems to have noticed how crap he is there. I'd play Chris Murphy from the 21's there, I know your exposing a kid, and the conditions yesterday weren't the best to put a young lad under that pressure given the nerves etc allied with the poor conditions perhaps yesterday it was best that Hicks played, but I don't think Hicks performs well from fullback, hopefully Riley will be fit soon & problem solved.

Weigh it up

Hicks on the wing awesome

Hicks at fullback rubbish



Murphy on at fullback. Whats the worse that could happen, he'd be rubbish?

What's the difference, give the lad a go then and put Hicks in a position were he is actually a threat.

My only issue with Hicks, is his choice of returning the kick. He always goes straight at he defender, no step, no fend whatsoever. Really can't understand it.

As far as I recall the goal kicking went to Hicks as Briers couldn't kick for toffee





We've lost a game have we? Player-bashing coming out already. Only had a new coach for a few weeks and we're already at it

I think they must judging his suitability on the average Warrington fans judgment on how well they deal with high kicks.

anyone catch the last couple of minutes in the Pies v Stains game Wellens took a ball and got knocked unconscious still holding the ball



All it takes is to be brave and Wellens has that in spades



maybe our guys are woried about lesser money on image rights

Yeah I think Smith needs to make a signing, somebody who can play fullback. I wonder if he knows any Super League fullbacks who could fit the bill.

This wasn't the reason we lost the game.



Question.



Was you there at Hull last year when Hicks kicked a goal in a similar position at the same time in the game to win us the match.



It's called pressure, sometimes people can handle it and sometimes they cant and to answer your question of "What has he done this season" he's our top try scorer so far this year.
