he is a roosters legend.

its far harder to gain legendary status for players who dont play 6 or 7.

He's the top points scoring forward in NRL history. Kinda legendary status.

Sums it up for me. Fitz and Longy may be getting to the end of their careers but both are proven winners. We need that, desperately.

From Fitz I'm expecting; solid, fully committed, inspiring and influential with a no nonsense approach - Nothing more, and most importantly - Nothing less.

I'm not disputing that he is a very very good player; and, like you, everything I have heard from him and about him from players I know within the camp has been extremely positive. I also agree that he will have a good effect on our younger players; but I do feel we a building him up to have been an all time great when he just hasn't been.

To suggest he was sitting on Bondi or Coogee beach and thought "I'd prefer to be on Hessle Foreshore" is laughable. He's come for the cash, the new challenge and the chance to play for one of the greatest league teams in the world, in a city that loves the sport. To suggest cash played no part is naive; and that's not a critisicism; who amonst us would turn down the opportunity to get paid more for our job?

Obviously there's a lot of truth in your assessment of why players come to sunny Hull, but he is a genuine club-man and I expect that he will give his all to our club until we don't want him anymore - if he has the impact I expect, I would like that to be for a few more seasons to come. It would be surprising if we don't take him to our hearts and vice versa.

Very very impressed with Sir Fitz

I was very impressed but even more so to see the old school every single one of them stand up and be counted today.

I was a bit worried at one point as he took a knock but he cetainly impressed.

All of the above and much more !!

thought Fitz was outstanding led from the front just what i exspected from him, he will be great for us a real winner and leader along wth Long ,two great signings as is Omeley and Turner, all 4 had very good debuts for the club

Fitz gives 100% ,..excellent I reckon .

Yeh saw that, near the begining of the game at south stand end? Think he was ok though, just getting into it again.
