Admittedly I thought it was very dodgy at first view, but then after someone stated that you could pay someone off before the season started, then fair enough.
But if Monaghan wasn't available, would Hicks have retired? No. They may not have forced him, but he obviously isn't ready to retire from rugby. |

He has mooted his retirement on two separate occasions. |

Hicks' retirement and Monaghan coming on board never looked dodgy to me. Some people love to create something out of nothing. Hicks has been great and gets another season of top flight RL and we get a younger full international and origin player. No brainer for me and for the club either presumably.

I know he has, but then he signed a new 1 year playing contract, and if Monaghan wasn't around he would be playing this year. Now that Monaghan was available, he decided to "retire" again. But then as soon as another contract was offered, he took it. |

he seemed pretty stoked about going to play with Jarryd Hayne etc. How do we know it isn't the other way around. He was leaving and monas turned up at the right time.
It is equally possible |

Well everyones come out of it better off. So it's water under the bridge whatever. But from an outside point of view, Hicks would have been playing for Wire next season if Monaghan wasn't available. |

Try to think of the bigger picture. Life isn't just about rugby. Mrs Hicks has been putting her teaching career back in Aus on hold. An opportunity has arisen to allow her to return home and get on with her life, hubby gets another crack at the NRL and Wire get an international quality replacement who is 6 years younger. What, just what, is wrong here? EVERYbody is happy! |
