Look at the tackle count against the shower from the East.

Fitz 45
Houghton 45

no wonder poor Fitz was blowing

Not just the rovers game. He puts between 40-50 tackles in per game because of the way we utilise him. We've burnt him out over the season.

Dont think Washy is good enough personally but would certainly give Whiting a chance to show what he can do at 13 if we dont bring one in.

Fresh blood in the halves is still number one priority though.

Would Westerman be the ideal at 13?

We need fresh fit halves i agree but also believe we are never going to progress as a club with Agar in charge.

Most could see we burned him out after the mid way point.

We've come flying out the blocks for the past two seasons and played poorly at 'the end of the season, when you need to be at your best.

I cant beleive that as the season has gone on that Agar and Fitz have not discussed this situation! We only ever seem to spell him if he is injured.

Imo westerman would be the perfect signing, I'd be a bit worried about the drinking rumours though.

Fitz needs to take a little bit of the blame too. He approaches games like he thinks he's still 21. He needs to put his hand up and tell Agar he cant do it anymore. He looks to have aged another 3 or 4 years over the space of 12 months with us.

Whats happened to the "massive impact" Fitz has made to the team since his arrival. Its ok Agar crowing saying him and Long are amazing and teaching him stuff, but if these guys are telling Agar what would work best and the "young" coach isnt listening then god help us!

I've not heard the rumours but maybe we need to get the drinking culture back at the club. We used to play better with King and Cooke in the side.

It's how he's always played, in his last season with roosters fittler tried to change the way he played to a more ball handling role with little success.

I dont want to change the way Fitz plays, i want to use him wider and for shorter spells rather than 80 mins.

Didnt Liam Watts mention how he moved away from Cas and changed his drinking culture in doing so recently on sky?

Westerman has all the attributes skill wise so yes I would sign him.

Back to the original topic, signing Westerman wont make me renew my pass.

In the second row then?

yes, he said he use to be tee-total before he moved but now hes on the lash 8 nights a week

Yup.
