Playing career

Higgins made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Monday 21 April 1941,[2] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.

Testimonial match

Higgins's benefit season at Featherstone Rovers, following a serious injury that forced his retirement, took place during the 1946–47 season.

gollark: It's... um... Haskell?
gollark: ```rustimpl Monad<T> for Burrito<T> {}```
gollark: ```haskellclass Monad monadic where (>>=) :: monadic apples -> (apples -> monadic burritos) -> monadic burritos return :: burritos -> monadic burritos```
gollark: Anyone can invent monads. They are simply burritos.
gollark: It's not the dual of monad. It'd be the same as monads, but backwards, so nobody is scared by it.
