Just playing the way he did at Roosters....nothing short of a machine....like the way he gets up and glowers at people who have tackled him....give Robinson some right looks.

Me and Mrs BM couldn't believe this guy's performance last night. Absolutely top class, and people who think he is over the hill, think again.

I resent that.

Total class, makes you realise what we have been missing for a while

He could well be up there as one of the best players to put a black and white shirt on if he carries on like this,like everyone says he is a machine.

If Fitz is an over the hill journeyman over here for a last stop pay packet, can we please have another three or four just like him Kath??

On page 59 of the programme I saw a spot the difference photo with three players (Fitz being one of them). I thought, well one's tall and bald , one is.... then I saw there was a second photo...

I was only thinking that this morning. If he stays fit all season (and hopefully next) and plays like he has the last two games, he'll be up there with the greats, I reckon.

Craig Fitzgibbon is the Times player of the week, with Danny Tickle also in the squad.

Well done both

great news and according to some on the VT Fitz is an "over the hill "player who wont last the season , cant wait for the big fella to prove them all wrong

Over 50 tackles on Friday, the man is a machine (albeit an old one)

How many



I though 34 was excellent in the Saints game....my word have we got the prices for MOS yet!

Just checked 51 to be exact



Is he the bionic man

Hope not, $6million might take us over the cap!!!!!

Made 85 tackles in two games and has only missed a single tackle
We may see him break Richard Swain's tally of 907 tackles in the 2004 season

The guy is simply awesome.Get him signed up for next season now.

To put that many tackles in against a big pack is an even better effort!!

Absolutely Stupid stats from Fridays game for the Gibbon:

51 tackles
0 Misses
9 Marker Tackles

21 Carries
131 Metres

Just to add to that. If you exclude the players who have had 3 games he is 2nd (11th overall) for tackles behind Dallas Johnson, 1st for carries (10th overall) and 6th for metres made (22nd overall). Crazy for a man of 33 years of age.

What tends to happen is players who do a lot of defending do little on the attacking front (anyone who has played will know how tiring defending can be at times) but to make that many tackles and still carry the ball in 21 times is phenomenal even more so for an old age pensioner has been

He's over the hill dont you know.

When you consider the amount of work he put in and the fact he played the full 80 minutes I was amazed to see him still putting his hand up for the ball at the end of the game to try and make the hard yards away from our try line. He is a machine.
