We Need To Talk About Rudolf

[Frenzy.]

Just because no one seems to have missed him

 

[Ozzi_78]

He left me seriously calm watching the game on a Thursday night and deserves credit.

 

[bluefox68]

Interesting…

We didn’t play any worse without him!

Defence was really tight, and we still made metres…

 

[DJDL]

Should be coming into his prime at his age, and with 2.5 seasons under his belt, but seems to have peaked IMHO.

I’ll be interested to see if Fitz can find any upside, but I’m starting to suspend it’s not there.

I’m happy to keep him, but would be thinking twice about extending.

 

[island pro]

I'd have him in the side over hunt, but not playing the huge minutes that he has been lately. I guess that means Tolman has to be in the team if Toby is.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

I thought he had a decent game against the bulldogs but that's not really any sort of gauge with how shit they are.

 

[Frenzy.]

If there were less injuries and suspensions I can't imagine he would have retained his place list long.

Fitz is loyal though

 

[bluefox68]

We are going okay:

1. BHU is back - 2-3 weeks and hopefully he is back to being great value.

2. FIFITA seems to be rediscovering really good form.

3. FINUCANE is a great middle…

4. TOLMAN shores up the defence.

5. RUDOLF is enthusiastic but error-prone.

6. HUNT is massive, but needs to be a little more damaging.

If Rudolf is our 5th best front row option, we’re doing okay…

Kaufusi take someone’s minutes next year. Sorry Aiden. All the best.

I like you Ozzi. Bye Aiden.

They'll keep Tolman. Jets player. Hazelton up, Tolman down. Kaufusi is a bonus.

Lot's of young ones.

The Storm game, Fifita was amazing, what an asset. A year ago I wanted him gone, how wrong I was.

 

[Griffoshark66]

He has been great. Straightens the attack. Committed in defence. I'm happy for him.

That's surprising.

If Tolman is keen to stick around next year I’d keep him, good squad player and he’s been great this year

Spot on Glenmore. Nothing to lose by keeping him around. With guys like Hazleton and Colquhoun coming through his experience around the group is invaluable.

I don’t get the hate.

 

[Ozzi_78]

I dont hate him, just think the game has past him and if we have to have a headcount in his spot then I’d prefer we get experience into a young kid.

 

[Miller was a legend]

He has a red nose and is Santa’s favourite

Don't you need experience to get the experience in? I'm sure you mean game day experience but it's "footy IQ" the dinosaurs pass on. Passing on the knowledge can probably take 30- 40 games off a young blokes development between the ears.

He's also on minimum wage for this year. Doubt he's looking for a pay rise.
