But Feka, as good as he may be, is about 10 times as fat as any other prop in the league, nevermind Aizue

Thurston has been in the form of his life in recent weeks,guess you don't watch Nrl. Any club in super league who can afford him should get because their is not one scrum half in uk fit to tie his boots.

I ended it in a question as I don't follow the NRL no. I've only heard that his form was (for his standards) was poor at the very start of the season.

I never said prop was different to a centre or a halfback. We need a halfback desperately, and then a prop. We then need an experienced centre. But then again, Hall is never going to go anywhere under Agar, and I would be shocked if Agar goes seeing as the current board accept mediocrity nowadays so maybe any centre will do

100% agree. We need a SH, a couple of big go-forward forwards and a centre so I don't know where a hard working SR fits into our recruitment, unless he is a replacement for an already contracted existing SR ???

Maybe Fitz is the first part of Agar's masterplan to give us a quality squad fit to challenge the very best ?? I'm not holding my breath though.

He's more likely to be the major signing to add to a bunch of mediocre players that, on the whole, have proved beyond any doubt to be nothing more than average as a squad.

So even when we do sign a good player it gets written off as a negative.

Fitz has always played in the backrow (11,12,13), last season he moved up to prop and did really well there including being called into the SOO and Intl squads. He will probably play prop for us I guess and should do very well.
