The problem with Rodney isn't that he's inept. It's that he's not allowed to be anything else. Rodney and Marty are easily the two least interesting officers Wentworth ever had because they're both predictable, unchanging one-note ciphers. If only, just once, Rodney had been allowed a Crowning Moment Of Awesome, or Marty had made a slip-up somewhere, they might not be irredeemable.
Joyce Barry wasn't much better at that point in the show's history, either.
