My favouritre player of 2009. Consumate professional who peaked at the right time. That try against Leeds in the play-offs was excellent. Said my personal goodbye after the game too, what a gent.

Fisher is undoubtedly our best hooker. Unfortunately for whatever reason, Morgan has only used him sparingly this season in 15 minute spells which to me doesn't get the best out of Fish. To my mind Fisher is a better player when he plays for longer spells of the game.

Also PMH is correct Fitzy gave his all but he is not a big loss in the scheme of things.

Think you will find it was the aussie contingent that wanted fitzhenry in the team!

fisher was your only hooker in 07 wasn't he? No wonder his stats looked good if he pretty much played 80 minutes every game

Out and out hooker yes, and he performed admirably. Tommy Gallagher also had a go there (I think) Kirk Netherton played and we toyed with Scott Murrell as well as Stan having the odd go possibly.

For me, his best season was last year. Gave us organisation, go forward and excellent defence around the ruck. Unless you're Cameron Smith or Benny Elias, I don't know what more you can ask.

but also a reflection to his durability to have so much game time.

I think Iain Morrison did a bit of training for hooker too , but as you state Fish was the main man by some long way.
