Official Craig Fitzgibbon

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

Yeah and I bet he’ll regret that, if he isn’t already.

Think he got some bad advice on all that situation

I agree tbh.

 

[Milkshark]

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

Do people think he’s a good coach ?

Media likes him, keeps the club out of the papers. That’s what the club wanted.

I just want to win games.

We know he's persistent... So he will likely persist with the same line up until we get flogged or the losses start mounting up and then finally make changes .
Will not be suprised if he starts Toby again haha

 

[bort]

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

I get that I’m just saying it doesnt even need to be adapting or a plan B it should be change plan A. We keep starting ****, our bench is good - we should play to that strength.

Otherwise I agree, I don’t know how Toby didn’t get hooked earlier. Fitz must have thought ‘he can’t **** up again surely’ like 3 times before eventually changing him

Dunno, I think he did it to himself.
Agent wouldn’t push for a worse contract just so he can play the position he wants to play.

Wonder if wing has won him over yet though.
Success and accolades feel pretty good…

I think we agree in a different way haha

After the the tries, unforced errors, penalties and literal heart attack he was having you would've thought that but Fitz thought differently.

Think his dad might have had a say. Or maybe just all ego.

Surely being the best winger and playing rep footy has him thinking it’s not all that bad out there.

 

[G.H Shark]

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.

Man when I see Hazelton take a hit, he just collapses, then is so slow to PTB.

 

[cardshark]

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.

The dud Rudolf got two stints and the teams biggest impact forward got one, I just don't get it, it's hard to watch

I agree with that, just think there is a case to get in front of it and play to a strength rather than wait and see if things start going **** or not

Putting him back out there was the dumb decision. Rudolf clearly not up to it tonight in any department. Has 3 other forwards on the bench to use and he’s injected him at the most crucial time, to come up with the most crucial penalty all because he was gassed after 5 minutes.

Seen plenty of times coaches not put their starters back on. It wouldn’t of been looked at like a weird decision

 

[cardshark]

Fitz needs to stop batting off to his "come from behind with the great bench" fantasy, I think he hopes Rudolf will justifying his crap signing by playing a good game.

Putting him back out there was crazy. He was awful and deserved to be held off.

I wouldn’t let the bloke on the bus home for fear of him causing an accident some how, let alone on the field

Hah yep was silly. I hope he’s smart enough to drop him to Newtown from now. He’s been a liability last 2 games

This is what I’m scared of

He eventually had to suck it up with Moylan and face the music to the point where it almost killed us

I have no doubt some of his decisions are based on his signings to save face rather then best solutions

100% and he needs to DROP his ego , hope you are reading this Fitz

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 4 minutes in and he is seemingly reluctant to change from predetermined bench rotation timings.

FTFY

[G.H Shark]

I really think we were on such a roll without Toby on.

We were building pressure, and biding our time. Yeah it seemed repetitive but it was slowly suffocating them. Our metres were great, bombs kept them pinned and our defence was solid.

Burton's boot obviously was their saviour but that's all they had.

The game was slowly opening up but a certain half just was not getting himself into it, then Toby came on.
