I've been seriously impressed with him all-round. Clearly has a fantastic attitude and his work rate is incredible - not hard to see why the squad were delighted he was appointed captain. A real captain's knock again last night, galvanized the pack when he came back on. A great role model for the emerging younger forwards too.
Top signing. Was a massive fan of Fitzgibbon, but Lynch is a more than adequate replacement IMO.

Absolute machine, was always impressed with him at Bradford but didn't realise how good he actually is.

Love the passing game he has on him too, had a big hand in both of our tries in the first half due to this.

Top signing, excellent work ethic and steadies the ship when he is on the pitch....love the guy!!

better than Fitz IMHO (and I was a doubter when we signed him, I admit)

He has been better than "Sir" Fitz IMO.....seems to be better at the captaincy and just a bloody good all round player and like Standee said,i doubted the signing but like being proved wrong.

Just imagine if we'd have signed him a couple of years ago and had him and Fitzy in the same side.

Would still have had Agar though and using Fitz at 13....sorry but Fitz didnt do it for me,a privelage to see a true modern day legend play for us but i have seen better than Fitz in and Hull shirt and wouldnt have him in my top 10 overseas players.

I do think that a few of the posts are a little unkind to Fitz, who, along with Ticks and Ogre, carried Hull at times during his time at the club. This year, we have a completely different attitude and mentality (not to mention a complete regime change) at the club which will certainly help Lynchy perform. Not trying to knock Lynchy, who I think is awesome, however Fitz was very special indeed - albeit under different circumstances, not least a coach!

Agree.

I agree with that, like you say it was a privilege to see him in our shirt, and no doubts he was a work-horse but the bloke only broke a hand-full of tackles in all the time he was here.

Certainly Lynch is far superior to the Fitz we saw hard worker though he was.

Fitz was hampered by playing in Agar's team though, a better coach would have spelled him and introduced him to calm the game down/shore up the defence at key points. Instead he got flogged to death for the full 80.

Andy Lynch has already proven to be an absolutely immense signing. Not been a worthier holder of the position of captain of Hull FC in the SL era IMO.

Great signing , probably our best in years.

We carried Fitzgibbon in possession at least as much as he carried us in defence. He may have been special during his career, but certainly not while with us, he was far from it.

Lynch has been absolutely outstanding for us in both attack and defence, and I actually think it's doing him a disservice to make the comparison.
