I've been sitting on some Wicks info for a while, but now that he's jumping ship I figure there's no need to protect him...
Faked a back injury to get out of the Cowboys game, so he could be at a mates wedding. All scans and x-rays came up negative, Dragons staff started to get suspicious. Wicks turned his phone off, wouldn't return any calls. Copped a huge fine from Doust and Young on his return. From that point he needed to turn in some big performances to redeem himself in the eyes of the club and be re-signed, and hasn't done it. Truth is he is a bit of a sook.
