Sorry,cant agree,Godwin and Higham are too much alike,very quick but neither has Newtons rugby brain . We should keep one or the other. I would keep Higham.

keep both! we don't need a new hooker as we have 2 finely tuned athletes here. micky provides the technical side and he is the brains of the 2. when he is on the field the play seems to have more structure, also a good tackler. wagga is the livlier one (higham is lively but godwin is a livewire), he doesnt have the brains of higham nor he skill but is still a good, aware rugby player. also a very good tackler. we should keep both

Don't forget, at Stains Higham was mentored by one of the best hookers in RL.
Think it's a bit harsh saying Wagga doesn't have the brains. Do you know him personally?
Keep em both

i never said he didnt have the brains i just said higham is more the brains and the technical stuff were as wagga is the one who lightens the game up with his pacey moves. both are very good pllayers and i for one would lvoe to see both their names in the team next season.

I've said all season and last season that Godwin is sharp around the ruck area, but he doesn't seem to have the vision to go with it, he makes plenty of breaks, but he doesn't look for the support like many of the better hookers in the league do. Godwin is a good players who gives 100%, Higham is a class above and also gives 100%. His vision and creativity is of a much higher standard then Godwin's, Godwins breaks and half breaks seem to set up good field position or give the forwards a breather, if Higham makes a break players support him and he is always looking for support, I feel far more confident that something will happen from a break if it's Higham rather than Godwin who makes it.
