Thanks for information - You've set the moaners including Rovers moaners, moaning on our behalf off quick fire have'nt you. Class player and as this board has been full of "we lack leadership" moans all season probably just what is wanted.
Anybody see what Steven Kearney brought us and is a certain 33 year old Steve Menzies now doing it for Bradford.
A reminder to all Michael Crocker was signed on a 3 year deal. I dont think I need to say anymore on the Clubs recruitment policy do I.

why are our fans always so negative, he was judged as good enough to be on the bench in the world cup final for Australia only a few months ago, and has played over 20 games a season the last few years

we have also for once played it safe and only signed him for one year, so if he's rubbish or gets injured we can get rid

Strong chance his ancestors will have had

He's 35icon_biggrin.gif

Menzies is 35, Stanley Gene is 65, age is just a number if you are fit enough.

Nice to see the usual warm Hull welcome being extended to a new player.



Although until the club announce this officially I guess he's not [itechnically[/i a new player yet.

Could be a good signing if the terms quoted are correct. Should provide some leadership and gives us a kicking option that makes Tickle redundant. I'm not too worried about his age, especially on a short term contract.

In short, he's an improvement over what we have but he'd better be joined by a quality 7 at the very least.

Please please please please

Kearney was 35 and fitz is only 32 so thats ok then , all our problems are solved , i still think its a "paper over the cracks" signing , it doesnt address the point that we need a 7 that can unlock defences and create a lock with horne and berrigan.

fitz could be the type of player that might bring in some talent to this club

decent enough signing, but please please please follow this is up with a scrum half, centre, stand off (if horne stays at fb) and a big kick ass prop whilst you are at it. And get rid of some of the dead wood

Tell you what then, lets spend every penny we have left on the cap on a 7 and not bother signing anyone else for a few years, I mean we are amazing in every other position and signing anyone who isn't a scrum half can't possibly be a good signing.

Fizt will strengthen our squad in terms of playing ability and will go a long way towards adressing our problem of having no leadership. How can you possibly call someone who played for Australia 6 months ago a "paper over the cracks" signing, regardless of what position they play. Who is to say a scrum half won't be brought in as well.

Good signing IMO, he is a recognised goal kicker, the highest point scoring forward in the game and is the current captain of the Sydney Roosters and will bring experience and leadership to our squad.

www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=3430 Good signing in my opinion, he's a legend of the game and clearly commands a lot of respect at his club, he's exactly what we're lacking in the forwards. Our 2nd rowers aren't up to scratch imo and that's part of the problem with regards to the centre/winger getting no ball. Look at Galea at Rovers. Things are starting to look a bit more positive.

That is a big plus point, as is his on and off the field charisma and leadership,. Against that you have his age, and the fact that he is another second rower.

When Leueki get here we will, I hope, announce that we are to shed a couple of second rowers and not Burnett!!! Its all over the media in Aus now so its obviously true. I wants some backs though! I will wait to see what the club has to say about it!

Hurrah! RL Fans first, Hull FC TV second, Wail nothing and of course Blunderside nothing

why would we shed him when hes just signed a new deal

Hasn't he just signed an extension?

Club captain next season?

Because we are Hull Fc and nothing is impossible!

i would agree with that he is a leader and will give us the leadership we need

Yes of course he has but you know what they're like, incidentally onto more important things, loooking at FC TV he's a bit of a looker is Craig ain't he!

A leader at last,think one or two could be on their way now.
