Needs to toughen up and make some calls. Why Hunt wasnt on in the last minute so he could play golden point is beyond me
Better yet why did he only get one stint.

His worst performance as a coach as far as I’m concerned. Rudolph was a shot duck 14 minutes in and he is seemingly reluctant to change from predetermined bench rotation timings.

This is what pisses me off
Every game it’s the same rotation around the same time , so he’s already decided pre game his bench rotation
No matter the score or how sh*t we are

To me, the poor starts also come down to the dreadful starting front row. I think Hazleton needs to come back in and needs to go with Hunt and use he and Tuku interchangeably throughout the game

Tommy is having zero impact from the bench though. Something needs to change though. I reckon you're being generous saying Toby was gassed after 14, I reckon. It was earlier.

Kaufusi was OK tonight , but start Tuku .
Simple job , run tackle hard .
Make yards and bring on our bench
Toby never again

3 wins less than us with the experts worst side on paper and spoon favourites.
Imagine Fitz was coaching dragons and Flanno was coaching us 💨

I reckon Flanno would be having Hynes play fullback or 6 by now and both Rudolph and BHU would already be at the Warriors

Flanno has literally turned bums into potential finals contenders in 1 year. Lomax is now the best winger in the game, when he wasn’t even considered a winger until Flanno put him there. I would love to see what he could do with our current roster.

Sports bet had one unique bet at the start of the year. Dragons win more than 4 games or not.. they done it in 7 rounds. That shows how much they were written off

You don’t need to sell me on Flanno brother, the guy literally went to the teams pastor and told him you’re making the boys soft. Fix it

If that ain’t someone you want leading your boys into battle then you got rocks in your head

Meanwhile Fitz is in spandex stretching and playing wrestles with Teig Wilton

Time for Fitz to make a stand. Changes definitely needed while our ladder position belies our form. Toby def out n probably Kafusi too...
Kaufusi didn’t do heaps but ran with some effort a few times. He was okay I thought.

This is what pisses me off

How Tobys first stint kept going and going I have no idea.

Pissed me off when the camera shot quickly showed Talakai and Hunt on the bikes peddling and ready to go on. He should've put Sifa in the middle instead of Toby and then brought Hunt on for Kaufusi before regular time ended. Toby shouldn't even be starting in the first place, why would u leave him on longer than usual, Dumb

Kaufusi stepped up.

Not sure Fitz really knows how to adapt his bench rotation depending on the game.

Boys genuinely after 3 years what have we learned about Fitz ?

Do people think he’s a good coach ?

He doesn’t even need to ‘adapt’
Awful starts consistently, one of NRLs best bench, just make an earlier interchange.

I mean, ideally start better of course. But why can’t we make an interchange at 15 mins instead of 25. Play to a strength

Lomax has also secured an early release to go to the team coming last... for less money.

But that's what I'm saying adapt your bench rotation to the speed of the game, or have a plan b.
