don't think alternating kickers would be too clever so would pick the one who'll be playing most and leave it at that

ticks for me!

Depends who's on the pitch but agree Fitz should be number 1.

Leave it to the form kicker and whoever is on the pitch the most.

that person will be fitzgibbon IMO

I hope you realise I was joking.

Nope, we all just know now that youre a numpty!!

Fitz and get rid of Tickle with Hall taking over next year

I agree with what Fitz said, it's Tickles to lose, and I for one are very happy to see Danny continuing to kick the conversions for FC. I remember that for quite a few game the only diff between us winning and losing over the last couple seasons was thanks to Dannys acuracy through the sticks. Welcome aboard Fitz, it's good to have such a good backup along with your other atributes for 2010 - hope you live up to your NRL achievements, then at least the FC won't be hanging on to the shorts of all the other teams like Agar has had us doing for the two previous years.

also a quick news flash......many, many congratulations to Steve on his MBE in the New Year's list......well deserved..........grannyfan Cindy

Pick 1 of 2..


1) So was I

2) You're Backpeddling faster than an Italian tank division.

hope its not tickle because he takes an age to kick a goal ..!!

Is Fitz gibbon right handed/footed? Just a thought that Tickle is left footed so the kicking could be divided into Tickle converting from the right and Fitz from the left.

Yes Fitz is right footed. Not so sure that right foot/left foot matters much now, most kickers have learnt how to draw or fade their kicks anyway, Tickle as an example has learnt how to just hit the ball dead straight meaning it doesnt really matter.

Fitzgibbon is the ultimate clutch kicker and i would be stunned if he wasn't our kicker for next season.

Don't think we should have alternating kickers. Would hope Agar picks one and he takes the kicks. I would have Fitzgibbon since he's right footed and we will be stronger (attacking wise) down the left side (hopefully).

cant see that happening.

fitz is one of the best kickers there is, I would also hope that he plays the majority of the the game so it must be him.

i'd think he'd play at least 60mins every game.

agreed


if agar was stupid enough to play tickle for 80 mins though I would expect the same with fitzy because he is actually fit enough.

So Ticks' stats are better than Fitz's though both are excellent kickers. As I said earlier Tickle should be kicking when on the pitch and will benefit from the option of being spelled.

fitz's stats are based on his entire career, whilst tickles are based on the last 2 seasons.

In my opionion fitz is still the better kicker.

77% over a career is good going. Would like to see what tickles career ratio is

Whatever happens atleast we know there both reliable kickers

IMO it's the near term stats that are important. For example Long was an excellent kicker earlier in his career but I wouldn't want to see him kicking very often for us as his form has dropped off in recent times. My view was that Tickle has done nothing wrong in kicking terms for us and his last 3 season stats show that he is at least as competent as Fitz and therefore doesn't deserve to lose the job. That would change if his form dipped.

I expect and hope to see them both kicking as that would mean neither of them are doing 80 mins week in week out.
