Should this season go ok I am told he may (MAY) run one more season with us because he and the gang are very settled here and then go back to a coaching role in Oz.
A lot depends i guess on injuries he picks up because his fitness is never going to be an issue as he is as fit as any man i have ever met so lets hope huh as we always look better with him in the team thats for sure

"Craig Fitzgibbon was an inspiration to black and whites in 2010, particularly the younger players in the squad and his Opta stats would easily back that up. Highlights from his debut campaign include 5 tries, 2,218 metres made, 2 offloads and an impressive 829 tackles, of which 111 where from square marker."

I wonder, Fitz is only here for another year, we're going to be "going heavy" on recruitment, have we got someone lined up for 2012 onwards who is going to establish themslves as a long term captain? I do hope so.

I think up until 18months ago they had planned for Washy to take it on long term, he's still in the leadership group.
I'd be tempted to see how Westerman would fair.

I think in years to come Westerman will probably get the captaincy, if he works hard on and off the pitch then he would be a good cadidate. he ought to learn as much from Fitz as possible but it goes without saying i guess

How about Houghton as a potential captain?
