    2026 Squad

    I don't watch IRL as it bores the shit out of me. But, I hope the Brits win it. They won't even come close, though.

    2026 Squad

    I'm not sure if they are "dynasty" material. They looked pretty ordinary for portions of all three of their finals games. The difference being Reece Walsh who was basically a one man wrecking crew. Even their comeback victory v Dolphins wouldn't have happened if not for the Walsh factor. Their...

    lol, you can squash this minor rumour. He has signed with Warrington.

    2025 Squad

    Apparently when he was at the Broncos, he didn't socialise in the player's circles. He wasn't real popular there because of that. He probably isn't captain material if he's still the same.

    Rugby League doesn't work that way, unfortunately. It's front on physicality ensures that there is always a significant injury toll across the board. Look at Flegler's ailment. An innocuous tackle that still could be career defining. But, I'd like to think the Dolphins will have better luck...

    Recruitment and retention

    Modern day RL clubs don't rely on juniors anymore. That is a desperately old fashioned viewpoint. With a lot more money in the sport these days, clubs explore the open market and shape their team around these guys. I couldn't give a shit about how many Dolphin juniors advance to first grade. I...

    28 players currently in the top 30 for 2026. Not sure on the developmental contract status. I haven't heard any rumours on possible future acquisitions.

    Hammer out for 8 weeks. That will rule him out for any rep footy.

    Final Round: Dolphins vs Canberra

    The highest offensive team in the comp this year and the 9th most in NRL history. A 12-12 record and 9th place finish is their best result in their young history. Jamayne Issako wins his second scoring title in three years. Hammer runner up in tries scored.This club is headed for special things...

    Final Round: Dolphins vs Canberra

    Not to mention blowing an 18 point HT lead to Canberra. Plenty of ifs and buts. Hopefully, next year, we will see an improvement in some of those opportunities not secured.
