It's a mad stat. That's a tackle every 77 seconds!!?? Or if possession was 50/50 then every 39 seconds or so. That's not taking into account that there is a bit of time when the ball isn't in play and the clock carries on. We'll be able to leave two players on the bench unused soon.

Poor ball retention, simple as that, we are second in the league as a team for handling errors, which had led to us making more tackles than any other. As much as Agar is going to get the blame for our performances, when players are dropping the ball here there and everywhere it doesn't help our cause at all.

This is one of the main reasons why we are struggling imho. He would be much more beneficial to the team playing prop in two spells and letting Westerman get on with what he is best at. But Fitz says he prefers to play 13 so 13 he shall stay.

3 players in the top 11 with fitz and Houghton 1st and 2 nd respectively. Ogre is putting in alot for the minutes he plays superleague.co.uk/statistics_pla ... 11&hp2=153

None of this is a positive. Just means they are all on the field too long.

Astonishing figure but you fear how long he can keep this up.

Show off. Just trying to make the Dream team.

I don't fancy him, but I am a bit in love with him. Incredible stats. Super Fitz.

If he gets an injury we will really struggle. Whose inadequacies is he over compensating for, his teammates or his coach? Either way it’s criminal that one player should have to make that amount of tackles in a game, such a waste.

He's 5th in the league for missed tackles. Just as impressive for me is Danny Houghton, 146 tackles and just 3 missed, for a little guy, awesome stats.

Astonishing stats for superFitz. Worrying ones, though, for Hull.

Nothing worrying about it really, he's always been a defensive player throughout his career. Much like Swain was, Hindmarsh at Parramatta, Alker was at Salford tackle machines. Not only the that but this makes them all important players for their respective teams, hence you keep them on the field as long as you possibly can! Cant agree with him moving to prop, hes never a prop, hes an ex international second row put him there! Let him tackle his self to a standstill and lighten his load creatively in offence (which is minimal) and let Westerman do what we paid for at loose forward!

Fitz has said as much himself about the way he plays/has always played but people on here know far better than him. Agree about Westerman as do most people.

As good as the stats are for Fitz thye should not really be celebrated, I fear burnout or injury for both him and Houghton at some stage. I know Fitz has always worked this hard but I just don't see the sense in killing himself every week.
