Whilst this shouldn't be happening and he should be getting a rest during games, you still have to take you hat off to Fitzy, awsome effort.

Quite. On all points

The blokes a machine, I wouldn't be surprised to see him play to Menzies age.

Has there ever been a player/coach in SL ?

No but there's a player/nutritionist.

At this rate he will easily break Swain's record,
Give him a break with a game in the back row and let someone else do this kinda work.

get him into you fantasy league with stats like that...

The bloke is superhuman!!

But we cannot carry on flogging him like this,

great effort fitzy but needs to be spelled playing at prop but i have got him in my fantasy team though

Yes........Garry Schofield!

is that a salary cap work around ?

No he won't because he'll be out every other week with niggling injuries from easter

spot on and a mjor reason why he should be spelled now no one doubts wether he can play the 80 and make stupid amounts of tackle but for his and the teams benifit he should spelled and look to get more from him defence and attack and give a little more game time to other such as lauaki

Whilst I tip my cap to Fitz on another unbelievable defensive effort for the second week on the trot, I find myself questioning the abilities of our coach yet again.

No forward should be put in the position where they have to put in this amount of work on defence when we have other subs only being used for about 12 mins per game.

If he is having to put that much work in, it begs the question, who aint pulling their weight??

Or not at all

The one's who like us would like to see the back of Agar

Exactly. You do have to worry about the direction we are headed in when the coach doesn't seem to understand the simple fact that RL is a 17 man game.

Good stats but you have to ask why we are having to make so many tackles in general.

Id rather he only had to make 20 odd even if he was playing the full 80

It's a mad stat. That's a tackle every 77 seconds!!?? Or if possession was 50/50 then every 39 seconds or so. That's not taking into account that there is a bit of time when the ball isn't in play and the clock carries on. We'll be able to leave two players on the bench unused soon.

Poor ball retention, simple as that, we are second in the league as a team for handling errors, which had led to us making more tackles than any other. As much as Agar is going to get the blame for our performances, when players are dropping the ball here there and everywhere it doesn't help our cause at all.

This is one of the main reasons why we are struggling imho. He would be much more beneficial to the team playing prop in two spells and letting Westerman get on with what he is best at. But Fitz says he prefers to play 13 so 13 he shall stay.

3 players in the top 11 with fitz and Houghton 1st and 2 nd respectively. Ogre is putting in alot for the minutes he plays superleague.co.uk/statistics_pla ... 11&hp2=153

None of this is a positive. Just means they are all on the field too long.
