We should sign Chris Heighington for 2018

Unless we've got 6 backrowers better than him ( and I highly doubt it ) why wouldn't you want him back?

Age isn't an issue if you're still playing as well as Heighno.

Experienced, solid defender, good work ethic, good influence on the younger guys….etc

A big YES from me!
 
He is one of the most limited NRL players of all time. What he does, he does with effort and guts, it's just not enough for a developing forward pack like WT in 2018\. He was fortunate to be surrounded by other forwards at the Sharks who had the smarts and skills that he clearly doesn't have. A huge NO!!!! from me.
 
Whilst I agree with the sentiment of him retiring with us, I really believe it'll be a step backward. We will have enough depth next year with backrowers, just give it time.
Cleary signed up to the Tigers with 2018 in mind, he's just doing his best now to fix what's left of the 2017 season. He'll take care of the recruitment.
 
It's funny how Flanagan uses Heighington in his Prop rotation for the past 2 years often coming on to replace Fifita at 1st or second change..the guy must have no clue…

You don't think we could do a little better than Heighington? I mean the blokes a club legend and was great when he was here but, it's time to get serious with recruitment. I always enjoyed watching him in Tigers colours but, I don't think he'd be the right fit at the moment. We don't need him for experience if we've got Packer and Matulino. What we need is a couple of good, young, up and coming props to balance out the experience.
