HIGHAM , because he plays for US !
Joking aside NEWTON is a fantastic player but a HOTHEAD, he'll slaughter us with penalties and you all know what will happen playing the ANZACS and gifting them with easy points.
HIGHAM , HIGHAM , HIGHAM

Hmm, maybe someone else with blinkers. Does it really matter if he was first or second choice anywhere? What you will find difficult to dispute is that he has had a bit impact at Wigan, his speed from dummy half has caused a lot of teams a lot of problems and he has a been a big factor in our return to form in recent weeks.
You've obviously forgotten that for a lot of last season, Newton was pretty anonymous on the pitch, with Godwin looking a lot more interested when he came on. Perhaps it was the pressure of being captain, or just loss of form, but Terry last year was not as effective as Higham this year. And I've not even mentioned the several-month ban...!
Players should be picked on current form, not on whether they are first or second choice players or on past reputations. If the coaching staff's opinion is that Newton's not doing the job this year as well as other players, then those other players should get the nod ahead of him.

On Higham's current form I'd go with him, but I'd still have a look at Newton during the play-offs.. at the moment Higham.

My heart says out Tez he's experienced and he's a quality player. However he does seem to lose it a bit in these matches. Perhaps we could put other one on and play Tez from bench.
They could work well together.
Our no 9 has really improved latter part of the season so he stands a reasonable chance of a place.
Just make sure tez gets on too.

for me have newton on for the first 20 minutes of each half then bring higham on for quick dummy half runs when their forwards are tiring.
