If there's anyone actually bothered about the game Fitz and Westy are back in the squad and Sammy Moa in contention. Good news.

Glad they are back, particularly Fitz it would have been a shame for him to miss the last few games considering he maybe hanging up his boots.

yes, such a shame when he's only taking £250k home with him

f'ng sentiment again!

Im glad he is back too so long as he is up to playing a lengthy stint. If he isnt fully recovered or as near as he is going to be at this stage, then it is a gamble not worth taking and we would be better using a fully fit player of lesser ability.

I don't consider 250K for 2 seasons work extortionate for a player of his reputation and experience. The time is right for him to move on/retire, but he has been a good player for us IMO.

Other players have come to SL and gone home with more cash for less work.

name 4 that have pulled on the Black and White

Berrigan obviously. Dykes due to injuries. Sing was totally past it but probably not quite £250k.

Struggling a bit now.

Hopefully Child robs us blind for 80 minutes and Agar gets so wound up he chins him as he walks off allowing us to sack him. (Was going to say chins him in the tunnel but thought that maybe sounded wrong somehow?)

Fitz is an absolute machine, for me its been an honour to see him play in black and white.

His bodies given up on him, but it still doesn't take away from his effort.

I would never question Fitz's "effort" but we expect and need much more from a high profile/high wage quota player.

In his defence I think he has suffered more than most from Sean Long's long term absences due to injuries as when both played they should signs of linking up well together.

IMHO Fitz has been a big disappointment but others will disagree.

Fitz is now done IMO

But I will say this is his defence under a semi competent coach he would have been 10x the player he has been. The bloke has run his sweat to blood for this team and has never taken a step back. Also the only gripe people have had with him are that he slows the speed of the game down when he gets the ball and that is because he is playing 13 when he is a second row and that buffoon agar can't see that we have 2 far better 13s in Westerman and Washy in the team. If Fitz was played in his real position or even just played at prop instead of the lump Luaki and spelled like any players in the forwards should be instead of being flogged every single game like he has been for a year and a half he would be fine.

Fitz should just retire his body has given up on him.

You've just saved me typing my post!

Fitz is great - play him at prop or running 2nd row or not at all!
