    Pretty dissapointed, but he was starting to get worse and worse so it had to happen.

    RETIRED Warrington Wolves winger Chris Hicks will join Parramatta next season having struck a deal with the Eels on Monday.

    The former Sea Eagle has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Eels and will finalise the contract upon arrival in Australia as he is still overseas in England.

    The 33-year-old has already won two Challenge Cups with the Wolves, and a premiership with Manly, and is set to join his new teammates in the New year.

    "I can't wait to return back to Australia and play under Stephen Kearney," Hicks exclusively told Sportsnewsfirst.com.au.

    "Having the chance to play alongside superstars like Jarryd Hayne and Nathan Hindmarsh has got me excited and I'm ready for a successful year with the Eels."

    Hicks had retired from football last week to make room for the disgraced Canberra centre Joel Monaghan.

    However with the release of Timana Tahu and retirement of Eric Grothe Jnr, the Eels have enticed Hicks to play one more season.

    Hicks will return to Australia on Christmas eve.

    Why do we continue to sign past-it players?!?!

    Letting Matthew Wright go is starting to look like a pretty stupid decision.
     
  11. Hunter AD Hunt

    Just lost respect for Hicksy.
     
  12. Cribbage RG Cribb

  16. Frizzed WC Welker

    Chris Hicks will be awesome.
     
  17. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Hope so, love the hick.
     
  18. Julian BJ Taylor

    Love Hick but fmd it's a waste of a signing IMO.
     
  19. Tartmaster AJ James

    Well they've lost half of their backline, they need someone with a bit of experience.
    But you think there would be someone better than Hicks.
     
  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    They've lost Tahu, Grothe, Inu and Wright. They had a bit of a surplus of outside backs before but it still leaves them with two holes in their team (although IIRC they've filled one with Chris Walker).

    I don't know a lot about their Under 20s but Wright and Humble aside their NSW Cup backs were poor.

    Hicks isn't awesome and he's on the wrong side of 30 but the competition will be strengthen by his presence over Random 19 Year Old Islander #18483482348243.
