to be honest anyone who has seen them train never mind play will testify that he puts in so much more than anyone else and his own personal eating, rest and training regime is exemplary to say the least .
in all honesty if he doesnt get a bad injury

that needs surgery he could have another two maybe three seasons at the top he is that fit and focussed, similar in mentality to menzies from the same school of rugby i guess

"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?
