He has played at prop in Aus, at all levels too.

IMO Fitz plays exactly like a prop and not like we need a 13 to play......an extra play maker. A tactic we have used having 3 props on pitch at same time is why we are so boring and down the middle 1 man garbage predictable team. Hope that makes sense cos 3 props doesnt.



I'd rather johnny whitely played 13 at least he can pass further than 5m.



With Fitz as out n out prop I'd gladly have him another year or two possibly polaying majority of match, using extra strike player on bench instead of 2 props all time

just think Fitz would be wasted at prop.

Washy is just not quick enough for me to play 9.

But wherever he is named he plays like a prop. Be it 9,10,11,12,13.

He's filled in there a couple of times and didn't look out of place.

He would be more like Moore/Clarke than a Roby/Houghton type player. Could be a decent option. Danny certainly can't play the full 80 mins each week.

What about using Whiting at 6? He's played there before, and had the number 6 shirt in 2006 I think it was?

Fitzgibbon would play winger if you asked him to such is his commitment, hes a tall bloke but hasn't got the bulk of a natural front rower imo, combine that with his age and the fact that he hasn't ever played there on a regular basis and its a big ask for him to take on the best props super league has to offer week in week out.

that was the point i was trying to make, a massive ask imo from him to play prop week in week out, dont think his body would be up to it. ,

me too, would rather promote an u20 to the squad as a fifth prop than play fitz there.

Fitz plays exactly like a prop at lock. So unless people also don't want him playing at lock next year either then i don't understand the concern

But he's doing it already! That's why he's knackered by threequarters way through the game. Played as a starting prop with Whiting at loose would give us more balance and Fitz probably less wear and tear than he currently gets cos he could be spelled. And if we can't find an Aussie dummy half/half back cover ( James Aubusson ex Roosters could possibly do that for us if he'd come? ) then , yes , Washbrook would probably have to fill that role and spell Houghton.
