Is Feagai still in the top 30 next year? I'd be very surprised if we see him in first grade again and if he is, he won't be defending with Isaako again. Next year if he is still with us he'll be behind:
  • Herbie
  • Bostock
  • Averillo
  • Isaako
  • Cobbo
  • Naufahu
  • Nonu
  • (possibly) Hammer

Interestingly, Bostock use to play centre, so he could evolve there as well.

So yes i agree with that assessment.

Yes Feagai is still in the Top 30 I wouldn't be surprised with 2 extra clubs in ESL next year that he may get a contract over there. Dolphins have 1 outside back too many in their Top 30.

Aggressive! I'm not on anyones side. I just don't understand why you think Hammer is a bad defender. First time I know of anyone saying it.

Hammer has defended very well at Origin for Queensland either marking Crichton or Turbo so he's done well there.

Fuller at fullback with a full pre-season and confidence following his end of season would go to another level and Hammer scores tries for fun at centre 8 tries in 6 games for Dolphins and Fuller excelled in 5 of those 6 games.

There was one try in this year's series where Creighton comprehensively beat Hammer for a NSW try, I think not to Creighton himself who passed to the winger after beating Hammer. But Creighton is the second best centre in the competition so to only miss him once in a 3 game series is impressive.

Dolphins players set to hit the market on November 1:
  • Brad Schneider
  • Connelly Lemuelu
  • Francis Molo
  • Jake Averillo
  • Jamayne Isaako
  • James Walsh
  • Kodi Nikorima
  • Max Feagai
  • Oryn Keeley
  • Ray Stone
  • Trai Fuller
  • Selwyn Cobbo
Cobbo is apparently going to Perth. Is it already a done deal?
Isaako still has a lot to offer but he is up against some serious competition for a spot on the wing.
How old is Niko now? Still playing well enough though after this year, might be time for him to finish up his career in England.
Same goes for Frank Molo
Keeley...... Not sure about him. First half of the season he was really good. Second half was terrible!
I'd be looking to re-sign Lemuelu.
Averillo is a hard one. He's also up against some serious competition but I'd be looking to re-sign him if possible.
The rest can probably go. Nothing against the ability of Stone and Fuller in particular but due to their age and the competition they have for spots, probably won't be offered a new deal.

as for john, i dont see him as a nrl hooker . he may have a delopment deal but don't see him long term in nrl don't think is as anywhere near as good as his cousion
