Higham or Newton For GB?

Post by Wigan_forever1985 »

Whats everyone thinking for first choice hooker for GB. For me i think it depends on how the team is made up. If they are going for power ala Bradford i think its gotta be Newton. He's more of a distributer from the ruck so if Nobles looking to out power the aussies and the kiwis i think Netwons his man. However if he sets the team up to play fast rugby ala Stains its gotta be higham his runs from dummy half are leathal as long as he has got good support otherwise he gets caught out and flattended. I think they will be alternating anyway but for me id go with higham first to blast them then stick terry on to control the game. Or does anyone think that alker etc rate higher than these two?

Newton was injured against us; we all know he can play better than that. Fielden got him in the first tackle and he struggled after that until being substituted.

I still think he'll start for GB, possibly with Higham on the bench.

higham for me .he's been better than terry all season from the games i've saw. i've been quite disapointed by terry considering the way he played for us.

Both Newton and Higham for me. Two different styles, yet both effective in their positions!
