Very cynical. Nothing in his manner shows hes here for a "decnt payday" (sic). He's a true professional and we've missed that since Kearney left. His experience will be invaluable to players like Burnett and Washy. His stint at Hull will pay dividends for years.

he is a roosters legend.
its far harder to gain legendary status for players who dont play 6 or 7.

He's the top points scoring forward in NRL history. Kinda legendary status.

Sums it up for me. Fitz and Longy may be getting to the end of their careers but both are proven winners. We need that, desperately.

| From Fitz I'm expecting; solid, fully committed, inspiring and influential with a no nonsense approach - Nothing more, and most importantly - Nothing less.

| I'm not disputing that he is a very very good player; and, like you, everything I have heard from him and about him from players I know within the camp has been extremely positive. I also agree that he will have a good effect on our younger players; but I do feel we a building him up to have been an all time great when he just hasn't been.
To suggest he was sitting on Bondi or Coogee beach and thought "I'd prefer to be on Hessle Foreshore" is laughable. He's come for the cash, the new challenge and the chance to play for one of the greatest league teams in the world, in a city that loves the sport. To suggest cash played no part is naive; and that's not a critisicism; who amonst us would turn down the opportunity to get paid more for our job?

Obviously there's a lot of truth in your assessment of why players come to sunny Hull, but he is a genuine club-man and I expect that he will give his all to our club until we don't want him anymore - if he has the impact I expect, I would like that to be for a few more seasons to come. It would be surprising if we don't take him to our hearts and vice versa.

Amen to that. Long was very good, particularly in the first half as well. He's clearly embraced reponsibility for just about everything on the pitch. O'Meley looked the part as well. Impressed with all 3 tbh.

Yeh saw that, near the begining of the game at south stand end? Think he was ok though, just getting into it again.

| Had a cracking game, never stops and will be so influential throughout the season, Longy may be captain, but if they follow Fitz's workrate and his lead, then we'll go very well.

Was that the 1st loose ball of the game? He dived on the ball fully committed and with one intention, to gain possesion, for me that showed his dedication to the cause.
He also showed a neat offload as well.
Fantastic 1st game from him.

It was early on, yes. Seemed to limp for a while but shook it off.
A really encouraging first display from Fitz.

Was limping slightly at the end when walking on the pitch to shake hands. Not too serious I don't think.
