2025 Squad

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Also Rogers, Cronin, Miles, Lyon - even Mitchell, Manu and Trbojevic ... it's a nonsense argument trying to compare across generations

Sorry I see you have mentioned Rogers

Dally Messenger was a centre, although I didn't see him

 

[257Matt]

Another one I haven't seen mentioned. And I think he would go close to the best of all time.

Steve Rogers. He was on another planet.

I never saw Sludge play and I only saw the very tailend of Cronin when he was way past his elite days. Price was still elite in 1986 whereas Cronin wasn't his presence in the grand final was immense though.

Dave Brown and Reg Gasnier deserve mentions as well. They could be possibly be the two best. Their strike rates were incredible. Brown had a troubled life as he struggled with alcoholism and Gasnier was part of that iconic side of the 50's and 60's.

Reg is the best by a long long margin for mine. King the best out wide.

Langlands the best 1

I saw footage of a game vs England when they were generally still the better team. Gasnier tore them apart in the footage I saw. Big for his time and probably even now and fast with very good footwork.

Not surprised… a top 30 player training with NRL all week and then playing BRL on the weekends. Surely you should only be in an NRL top 30 squad if you are ready to play NRL?

There used to be a legends bar on the hill at Kogarah. Not sure if it's still there, I remember I would stand in front of it just under the scoreboard. Sitting in the bar would be Langlands, Reg and Raper.

Sad to see how far the club has fallen. Facer would be turning as we speak.

KATOA KILLING IT​

After Isaiya Katoa outmanoeuvred Mitchell Moses to lead the Dolphins to victory on Thursday day night, Matty Johns declared the 21-year-old Dolphins halfback has what it takes to become the best player in the game. Katoa had a hand in two tries in the 20-16 win while also running for 51 metres from seven carries that produced three tackle busts. But it was the opening try of the match that caught the attention of former Blues and Kangaroos half Johns.

“You do not see better ball-playing than this, young Isaiya Katoa, by telling a lie with the football, going out, back in then back out again, that is, honestly, that is so difficult to do,” Johns said. “The amount of time that kid has because he has beautiful hands, that’s just great football, that’s ball-playing from a bloke in his 30s. “He’s very good at reacting to the defence, obviously his football IQ is sky high. “I think he’s got the capability to be the best player in the game.”

NRL premiership winner Byran Fletcher echoed the sentiment.

“He’s been doing this since he first came into first grade, so he must have been, as a kid, he must have worked really hard on his game,” Fletcher said. “Because when he came into first grade he was doing this sort of stuff and he got them out of this tonight. “His kicking game got them back into the game in the second half, he’s a marvel. He’s a 21-year-old with 15 more years in front of him, he’s going to be special.”

He is the ideal player for a 10 year deal.

I reckon he will be the premier half back in the comp. And we need to build the club around this fella.

Supreme talent. Good leader. And all the attributes to head this club.

He is but I hope Dolphins can avoid those kind of deals. He is under contract for until 2029. No hurry to do anything but at the rate his is improving, even without big gun forwards laying a platform, 625k is woefully inadequate for a playmaker of that caliber.
