I think he's playing really well and doesn't look out of place playing at hooker. Let's face it he's played there lots this season and we're not going too badly are we? Just because we lost one game (yes, i know it was an important one) doesn't mean we should start knocking players who are actually doing a very good job for us. Fitzy gets through lots of work when he's on the field and has given us an option that we otherwise might not have. I agree that he is not a world-beater and that in an ideal world we would like to have two top class hookers like Leeds and Saints, but until we are in such a position let's give Fitzy some credit for playing out of his prefered position and making a bloody good job of it.

I agree that signing another specialist hooker would probably improve the team, but for god's sake don't start on Fitzy - he's hardly Chris Thorman!

He usually does on opposition players.

The most accurate post on here.

I didn't mean for this to be a free for all against Fitzy.

At the top end of the game the margin between success & failure is very small, as we saw on Saturday. Hooker is a pivotal position in the modern game & my point was that he just lacks some of the subtleties that a top class dummy half possesses.

Those saying he's rubbish are way wide of the mark.

As for those wanting Newton, I can't think of another player I would want less...I'd rather bring Tich out of retirement!

Matt Diskin anyone??

yes,one of Leeds hookers is

Jamie Lyon anyone?

He'd be a crap hooker!
