Brad Fittler believes Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor is at breaking point but commended the embattled mentor for not losing his cool – yet.

Asked where Taylor was at, Fittler said the ex-Parramatta and South Sydney coach was at an “explosion point”.

“Explosion point. I feel like he understands that his team needs more control to win games and there’s no good him showing a lack of self-control if he expects his players to have control,” Fittler told sportsfan.com.au.

“I think it’s pretty smart. You go through games and there’s tough calls but I still go back to the fact that when the game was there to be won they had two good shots at field goals and the missed them both, and Cooper Cronk went down there and got his first.

“That just shows if the Tigers halves had as much control as Cooper did when it came to the moment of winning the game, they wouldn’t feel aggrieved.”
