People not getting it! Fitz has basically been playing as a prop, just the number 13 on his back rather then 8 or 10! Like you say Paul, he will play the same game where ever he plays.
Exactly. Now I'm not suggesting they're on a par as players, but I find it strange that Radford was pilloried for not offering what people expected of a loose forward whilst Fitzgibbon is lauded, as they have both done exactly the same job there, just to differing levels.
For some reason, people seem to struggle seeing beyond the shirt number at times. It was the same when we had Cooke and Horne wearing 6 and 7, respectively.
