Maybe, but look at Fielden, best prop in the world at one point, overplayed supposedly at his behest and Noble allowing it, and burnt out. I'd hope Fitz could be persuaded to take a match off.

Don't let the bleatings of Eddie and Stevo fool you; he was never anywhere being the best prop in the world.

He was never the best prop in SL!

Fielden put the minutes in, but a bit like Dowes for me, a good workhouse with a decent engine, but not the best in the world by a long way. I'd like to think that someone who's played 300 plus first grade games at the top level plus internationals knows what he's capable of, plus I wouldn't have thought he has had to hit the heights of previous seasons to be a stand out player in SL. Keep him out there, leading by example.

Can't believe people want to rest our best players, if we do we have a good chance of getting beat, only rest players when they need it. Start Fitz and give him rest during the game would be a better option. If we had to rest players over the Easter period I would rest them for the Leeds away game.

He made the Dream Team 3 times and was an 80-minute cornerstone of the Bradford pack that steamrollered them to 3 GF wins, 2 CC wins and 3 World Club Challenges (including the infamous man of the match performance vs Wests where he was declared as the best prop in the world.) 4.3408203125:10
