    Another 42-38 scoreline. Is anyone concerned with the modern state of the game? I remember a time when we used to poke fun at the Super League and Super 12 Rugby for their high scorelines. The NRL has well and truly surpassed them. I realise the sport is evolving to suit the modern day RL...

    Round 9 vs Melbourne Storm

    The Dolphins did what they needed to do. A much cleaner second half with only two errors. They totally dominated the second stanza despite being short-handed for 10 minutes. The Dolphins ended up with 58% possession and 61% territory and a whopping 700 running metres more than the opposition. An...

    Round 9 vs Melbourne Storm

    Even if they get away with this one, nothing has changed. They are a weak footy side and Gilbert is a total liability when on the field. He is a "fuck up" machine.

    Round 9 vs Melbourne Storm

    It's bizarre that we are facing the Melbourne Storm and listed as healthy favourites. Even more bizarre is that the Dolphins have won only two games and are still favoured v the defending grand finalists. That shows us how far this great franchise has fallen. Whereas, the Dolphins were tipped to...

    Round 9 vs Melbourne Storm

    If the Dolphins fall to 2-6, you can kiss this season goodbye 👋. There ain't no climbing out of that predicament. Melbourne, on the other hand, still have the talent, experience and coaching to somehow recover. Let's hope the Dolphins can further add to Melbourne's dramatic slide. I'm not...

    Round 8: Dolphins vs NZ Warriors

    They won't fire him that early. They'll give him till the end of the season. If they just miss out again on a finals spot, they'll keep him around. If they end up on the lower section of the standings, then he might be in strife, but I'm still not convinced that mgmt would pull the pin. The only...

    Round 8: Dolphins vs NZ Warriors

    I have no doubt that he'll get back to his best after two long years out of the game. But, that may not be till next year when he moulds his body to suit the modern game.

    Round 8: Dolphins vs NZ Warriors

    Gilbert, Flegler and Knowles have been the major disappointments for me. Far too many penalties, ruck infringements, handling errors and missed tackles from this trio. They are solely responsible for the predicament the Dolphins find themselves in. It's hard for any HB when they are playing...

    K Woolf

    He's just a run of the mill coach. He was always going to be a huge downgrade from WB. But, run of the mill coaches sometimes have success. I'm not sure if Woolf is one of them, though. A team with this much talent (apparently) shouldn't be sitting at 2-5 and quickly fading away. Woolf might be...

    Round 8: Dolphins vs NZ Warriors

    A tough task in Wellington in conditions much different to their previous game. I realise the season is still young, but a win is vital tonight. 2-5 is a huge hole to dig yourself out of and history shows that it is usually forlorn. The Dolphins have been wildly inconsistent and those type of...

    Round 8: Dolphins vs NZ Warriors

    But, my street contacts in Darwin have just passed onto me that Averillo may indeed be playing in the halves. Trai Fuller will slot in the centres. Morgan Knowles is long odds to be playing because of injury.

    Round 8: Dolphins vs NZ Warriors

    Woolf isn't very proactive in that way. He'll stick with the structure until it/if all falls apart.

    Round 8: Dolphins vs NZ Warriors

    Nikorima is suspended. Schneider will be wearing the #6 jersey. Donga will slide onto the bench, if fit. If not, Brent Woolf will get another game.

    Round 7: Dolphins v Penrith Panthers

    It has made RL a total momentum sport now. That is why we see huge deficits tracked down on a regular basis. High scorelines and upsets are the norm and torn hammys, MCL's and worse are befalling the players. The game is so fast currently and guys like Gilbert, Flegler and Knowles are struggling...
