No offence but we have better juniors coming through our ranks than watsing money buying Fitzy back.
Everyone knows he is Sheens lovechild and he will now take over from Johnny Morris as the fans whipping boy.

Personally, I think he is a okay player. I think we have signed him back for his utility value more than anything as he can cover hooker and outside backs however I do believe that we have better juniors coming through the system.

How was his defence when he played hooker this season??

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.

Quote: pmh "Don't know what contitutesd an error in those stats but I can't believe Fitzy has so few.

Morgan's worst tactical mistake of the season for me was dropping Fisher, (although clearly from some of those stats he didn't have as good a season as '07 and '0icon_cool.gif and starting with Fitzhenry.
Fisher is our best defender at marker and at mopping up around the ruck, Fitzhenry was good at breaking things up as the game got stretched. That said, I don't think I've ever seen a hooker make so many catastrophic last tackle plays as Fitzhenry. Kicks that were all over the place, running the ball without looking at who was in support and at times just utter madness.

I wasn't on Fitzhenry's back throughout the season and I genuinely thank him for his efforts, but lets be honest, he won't really be missed and using a quota place on someone who at best was not bad is not the way to go. There has to be a young British player that could do as well if not better, for example, Andy Ellis.'"
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.
