WESTS Tigers second-rower Chris Heighington has signed with the NRL club for three more years.


The barnstorming New South Wales Country representative will remain with the Tigers until the end of the 2011 season.

Heighington had also received interest from St George Illawarra and rejected two offers to move to the English Super League.

I'll be my left one at least once next week he'll be behind the defensive line at least once. If it doesn't lead to a break of some form he'll clean it up with a cover tackle... but it'll bugger us up and get them too much momentum.

He does it regularly and it's lead directly to a couple of linebreaks/trys this year.

Eyes... open... please.

In Westie's eyes

* Fitzhnerys dummy half surrender runs were the main tactics/reasons behind our GF win
* Ben Reynolds was a superior Halfback to Prince, and should of been in the 7 with Prince at 6 and Marshall at 14 or in reserves
* Hutch Maiava should of been on the top of Wests Tigers recruitment list

Leave the poor kid alone.

Hutch would have been the only damaging forward at the club when Corey Pearson was our main man. I agree he is sh*t - but he was slightly less stinky sh*t at a time when that was all we could aim for.

Reynolds and Prince would have worked well for the same reason he would have worked well with Thurston in a winning QLD team.

Far more importantly Benji wouldn't be crocked and ruined now.

Coincidentally, after we stopped surrendering and playing touch... we haven't made the 8.

Heighington has just signed his way into Tiger Folklore. He will be the next one club man in the NRL with us. Will be the NEXT WT player to represent for our team in an Australian jersey.

Put down the crack pipe you f**king adolescent dope

Do you actually believe in 10% of the f**king sh*t you type

Reynolds and Prince didn't work for the sole reason Reynolds is a f**king turd and one of the biggest spastics to wear the shirt

Surrendering and playing touch ? Is that you Nathan ?

Reynolds and Prince will never be known because we never stuck with it consistently always chopping and changing and getting worse with each week.

EDIT - It was never going to be the long term solution as I said before... but at the time it was the sensible thing to do.

We won a premiership with your Tommy Shines playing touch. Is that why you can't seem to remember it?

Put the shovel down Westie. That hole you're digging is going to shift another Chinese tectonic plate.

Excuse me... I'm off to get my 6th shoulder op. Toorah.

P.s Anyone keen to deny Heighno doesn't struggle to move up occasionally, yet fatally?

Heighno, I think it was the Knights game, his misses cost us twice with trys, dunno if it was him being behind the line, once we were on the tryline from memory.
But most trys are down to an error on the defensives part....part of the game.

I think he's a good player, but that sorta coin for a bloke who is not doing the job he's getting the raps for... I dunno.
