New Member Introduction: 2285

[2285]

Hi Everyone,

Just signed up and wanted to introduce myself.

Last week I walked away from the Wests Tigers after 20 years. I just couldn't do it anymore.

2285 is my postcode here in the Newy / Lake Macquarie area. I did try to make the Knights my second team but just didn't have much love for them. Their organisational decision making is on par with the Tigers IMO when they extend contracts to Adam O'Brien, or hand out 10 year deals to Dylan Brown.

I was excited when the Dolphins joined the comp under Wayne in 2023. I think the jerseys look fantastic: 2024 away & alternate, 2025 heritage, and even the warm up tees. I also really like that the name isn't location based.

With such a new history I'm already starting to go through Youtube and watch the full length replays starting from 2023 R1 v Roosters. As a new fan I like that they're yet to make finals footy as I feel like I can't be accused of bandwagoning.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and look forward to chatting with everyone moving forwards. Let me know your opinions on the pros & cons as we head into the 2026 season.

Also:

What's the artwork style of the Dolphin? Reminds me of Canadian Haida art.
The word 'discussion' is spelt incorrectly on the forum menu.

Sorry to hear about the Tigers but we are happy to have you.
