Just another thought on this while I'm at it. Fitz was almost as annoying as DSaf for mine in that his hot run of form really kicked off once he'd already been tapped on the shoulder and shopped around. We were all pretty happy to see the back of him, and then suddenly he was playing the house down. If Guys like DSaf and Fitz offered their best to us week in, week out for good portions of their careers - then we wouldn't be having half of the conversations we have about our team.I'd definitely argue he's been missed for sure, and I thought we all said he would be based on last years form. Last year was by far Lachie's best year. The hope was that KPP would eventually grow into a higher ceiling (and also, Fitzgibbon maintaining that form was hardly a given). But yeah, most teams would miss the 2023 edition of Fitz, he was very strong.
Too many of our players get comfy and don't produce the best footy at the Knights. There's blokes like Josh King, Nick Meaney, Connor Watson, Beau Fermor and others out there having NRL careers too. None of them would have kicked on at the Knights. We're just not that good an environment.
Josh King and Nick Meaney may well be valued contributors to a premiership winning team this year.
