But hooker is the least of our worries at the moment.

Ok, Newton & Godwin would offer more variety than Higham/Godwin...but it's more important to get a centre and a stand-off, IMO.
We've really only 3 wingers (plus Ashton, perhaps, if Rads does OK)..and with our injury record we need to keep them.

I was always a Newton fan and gutted when Millward shipped him off, but I don't know why he'd come back after way he was treated? And i do like Mickey Higham, feel he being hard done by but i guess Bradford a good club despite their dip.

I personally feel Calderwood has not been given a chance due to his injury problems, I feel he would have shined evenutally, its not as though Pat Richards is a "brilliant" winger.

We'll see what happens, but do people know something we don't? Why Terry and Stuart come to a club that looks likely to be relegated? :conf: Good news if they do though

I have never been a big Newton fan. I think he is a lazy player who plays when he feels like it and he is prone to give away penalties when things are not going well.

I reckon the only reason we played with two hookers at Wigan is because we needed to sub him to calm down at least once a game.

Had he been in this team this season since the end of his suspension, then he would have lost it more than once in my opinion.

We don't need a player of Newtons character adding to the penalty count which is bad enough as it is.

Higham is far more professional a player and gives 100% all the time. With Radlinski back to support his breaks we may even score a few tries.

Shipping Higham out now would be stupid. If we need a player from Bradford it is a centre.
