I think that without him we'd have a whole load more problems than we've got. |

| Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"Have you seen the top tacklers in SL?
Fitz is top with 48 per game average and nearly 100 more than the guy in 5th in only 8 games. Jesus. Putting aside the fact that he's flogging himself those are incredible stats IMO. If there were ever the polar opposite of an Aussie coming over here to wind down and toss it off, we've got him at FC.
1 Craig Fitzgibbon Hull 383
2 James Roby St Helens 329
3 Danny Houghton Hull 320
4 Ian Henderson Catalans 320
5 Andy Ellis Harlequins 286'"
He was the same last year for the first 3 months until he burnt himself out. |

None of which alters the actual point I was making, that he's the opposite of "here for a holiday".  |

Like missing his work ethic. We don't have a large number of players waiting in the wings with the same commitment to work in defence, or for that matter the same technique. I also think he's been leading on the field well. Additionally I believe he is showing leadership off the field in the face of at times vitriolic criticism. I also believe he is a top role model for the younger players to look up to. Maybe he is guilty on occasion of entering the line when it might be preferable not to, but overall we would be a far worse team without him and he has been an excellent signing for Hull. |

I think most of those are problems we DO currently have, particularly the work ethic one. You say yourself that we don't have too many players with the commitment and technique he does, so you acknowledge the problem is there, and that would mean it appears he's not made a difference by bringing it out in his teammates or passed on enough of his technique/experience to others.
I'm not saying he's not been a good signing, I just think that he's also not without his faults and some go overboard on him and just how much he's doing for our team. Bottom line is that he's a part of a poor team, and is not exempt from criticism IMO. |

| Quote fcimp="fcimp"Long hasn't been poor but he just hasn't been that good either but that doesn't warrant throwing him on the scrap heap does it? I'm sure the team will benefit from having him in it in the long run and it's not like Obst won't get a game because of him either.'"
long has been poor. He's been blighted by injuries and largely anonymous when he has played. Maybe he would have looked better if we had some kind of gameplan but he hasn't been anywhere near the level you would expect from a player earning what he is |
