Just out of interest, who will be kicking goals this year for Hull. Will it be Tickle or Fitzgibbon ?

There's a lot of discussion here regarding whether or not Tickle will get in the team. So, whilst Tickle is a good kicker, I get the feeling Fit will kick.

However, it might finally give Agar a chance to spell Tickle's game time - maybe he can rotate with Fitz and they can take turns kicking - it would certainly benefit Tickle to get some rest during a game. Agar probbaly doesn't need any backs on the bench because of the number of wide-running second rowers we have.

I was swaying more towards Fitzgibbon too mainly due to excellent kicking record in the NRL.

True, me too - but they are both very reliable kickers.

Both can do a good job, so I reckon it will be a shared role dependent on who is playing, injuries etc.

Craig Hall.

Sean Long.

God, I really hope not. For everything he can do, his goalkicking has been shocking the last year.

I`ll ask fitzy next time i see him in the pub(saturday evening)...along with o`meley..and there families



drinking soft drinks i may add

At the last fans forum someone asked Fitz about this, he said something along the lines of it being Tickle's job to lose. Saying he would continue practising with the boot for when he's needed

Fitz should be first choice with Tickle as backup.

If they are both on the field then Tickle would get it for me initially at least. If he gets in the team I hope Ticks can be spelled this year as most of his defensive errors have been understandably due to fatigue IMO.

it would be harsh on tickle to lose the kicking duties to fitzgibbon straight away, and same with the captaincy with radford.... but fitzgibbon should get them both - the man is pure quality and i think agar shouldn't be afraid to put him front of the queue.

i'd play fitzgibbon for 80 minutes most games and let tickle kick in his absence. oh yeah and remember the local derbies - i'd definately choose fitzgibbon to kick!!

fitzys record says there is only one choice!!!

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.
