Thought Fitz was over rated before he played for FC but quickly changed my mind after watching him play live.... Never seen anything like his workrate and fitness levels at any age never mind at the back end of a career

| Quote ="Staffs FC"No other player got near Fitzgibbon's intensity unfortunately. Had they done so our pack would have been far more effective than it was and in an ironic way Fitz would have stood out less. Good import and I'm glad he played for Hull even in the twilight of his career. To say he was overrated is plain wrong IMO, moreso a number of his colleagues who couldn't match or infact get anywhere near Fitz' intensity.'"
I suppose it is what you want from your forwards..Fitz was a tackling machine with fitness levels many players half his age could only dream of and a good leader...however I like forwards to break tackles and Fitz rarely did. |

Maybe he didn't but he put more effort in than the others in that dept and as I said that may have been down to his instructions/tactics.. we will never know..
Still imo deserves praise for his effort when in the end this season was a team failure |

He'll probably leave the last couple of years out if he can't fit it all on.  |

I know I know  maybe that was worded a LOT wrong 
Always thought he was very good just not as good as all the hype from what i'd seen watching him on tv... like i said that quickly changed when i got to see him play live regularly |

| Quote ="carl_spackler"They don't tell the full story either, though. The thing is, if you play long minutes down the middle, you'll naturally rack up a big tackle count. That's why the top 3 tacklers are all hookers, and the rest of the top 10 is rounded out with another hooker, three 60-80 minute loose forwards, a couple of big minute 2nd rowers, and Lynch, the prop who probably plays the most minutes in SL. That doesn't mean it should be sniffed at, but nor should it be held aloft as the be all and end all.
Unlike most of the rest of the top 10, Fitzgibbon has offered us very little with the ball. If you like stats, here are a couple: 1) he averages less metres per carry than both Ewan Dowes and Lee Radford. 2) He also averages more penalties conceded per game than both (in fact he's even averaged more than Lauaki, who is apparently a penalty machine). Interestingly, both Dowes and Radford are endlessly slated on here for how little they offer, yet Fitzgibbon is lauded as if he's some sort of messiah.'"
people don't like facts, they prefer delusional wilderment.
Fitz was a hell of a player and had some outstanding achievements in the game, none of which came in a Hull FC shirt. |

Any of the five would be awesome but I'm guessing none of the above. |

wait until season pass prices are announced, I reckon we've got some news to release at the same time, but I don't think it will be one of those 5, as you say. |

Absolutely agree, I do not think we had the balance right though. I was not knocking Fitz by the way I actually found it very emotional when I first saw him in our shirt, and he did not disappoint me during his time, he was a pleasure to watch. |
