| Well I imagine they are getting a different player to the one who left their club. They seem to be forming their opinion of Fitzhenry as a winger, which he was when he left there, but obviously he's added more utility value to his game since then with him featuring at hooker.
I guess it will depend on where they plan on playing him as to how much impact he's gonna make in the NRL.

| I wish we could have kept him; he was turning out to be a cracking hooker.

| 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??

| Fitsy doesnt really do defence. One of the most non - tackling hookers Rovers have ever had. I would imagine one of the lowest counts for a hooker in SL.

| It was Fitzy's defence that got him ahead of Fisher in the first place. Fisher, Cockayne...etc are leg (or as some people call it) text book tacklers something of which is no longer a part of rugby league. Wrestling is a big part of the game now and clubs are willing to give more meters away as long as the play of the ball is slower than what a leg tackler like Fish can offer.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Call me old fashioned but I'm not sure I agree with that. Fisher stops them in their tracks and is imho our best tackler around the ruck. What's needed is some proper two man tackling with Fisher taking the legs and A. N. Other wrapping the ball and helping to win the wrestle to stop the quick ptb.

Fisher is no more a leg tackler than any player in Rovers team. He is regularly into the tackle first attempting to lock the ball and start the wrestle.
Cannot agree with your analysis of Fish i'm afraid.

| You dont have to agree with me but its how it is, he's not a good defender in Super League, he never manages the wrestle because he isn't big or strong enough, simple as. If he makes the tackle around the legs the props and other forwards have to be onside much quicker, turned and ready to make the next tackle which over 80mins is too much in this modern age game.
It is a big reason why we need to bring in a top class hooker that can defend and wrestle. Maybe this will become apparent as the season kicks off because for sure this year we got lucky.

| Your way off the mark Nick. Fishers defence is pretty decent and technically sound from what i've seen, when first in he nearly always makes contact with the ball and starts the wrestle so i'm not sure what you've been watching. You rave about Fitzy but his decision making was terrible out of dummy half at times, as was his service and its no coincidence that Rovers better performances last season have been when Fisher started and Fitzy came off the bench to break things up around the ruck, his real strength. Its also no coincidence also imo, that Rovers form tailed off when Fisher was out of the side altogether.
Its always flavour of the month though for the clique to have a pop at a player who appears to be out of favour with the coach. There are much worse defenders in the side
