    Round 23: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    5 from 5= 17-7. That would definitely get them top 4 and even pushing top 2. The current top 4 play each other a few times during the remaining schedule enabling the Dolphins an opportunity there. Reality says that they'll end up 15-9 which should be good enough for 5th and a home game during...

    Round 23: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    ARey (concussion) won't be there. Willison (leg gash) unlikely as well. Mam, Carrigan and Staggs terribly out of form. Haas doesn't give a shit. If the Dolphins aren't victorious in this one, then they are in serious trouble.

    Perth might have a mortgage on that. The Broncos will struggle again next year. That is for certain.

    Round 22: Dolphins vs St George Illawarra Dragons, July 31st.

    Not overly convincing, but a victory nonetheless. Not for a lack of chances. I thought StG aimed up really well defensively and some of their last gasp efforts were outstanding. The Dolphins were a bit loose in that regard. Something to work on in training this week. A win in their next outing...

    Round 22: Dolphins vs St George Illawarra Dragons, July 31st.

    Class alone should get the boys home tonight v the eventual wooden spooners of season '26. But, it won't be an overly lopsided scoreline. I think StG will match it in the forwards but the Dolphin's dynamic backline will be hard to thwart. I am not overly convinced with this Dolphin side. The...

    Round 22: Dolphins vs St George Illawarra Dragons, July 31st.

    I'm envisioning an 82-12 scoreline.

    Rumour has it is that Katoa will be playing tomorrow night.

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    Yep, it could be a master-stroke. But, you are correct. If it all fucks up, it could cost him his job. Bennett and O'Sullivan built this franchise and he is dismantling it before they even make one playoff appearance. I hope he knows what he is doing. I have a feeling that he is not near as...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    You don't have any understanding of the salary cap. But, you can't help that. Whatever pctg the cap increases, the players on current contracts increase their salary by that exact same pctg. So, your theory is flawed.

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    Williams is on a 3 year/$2.4M deal, hence the inability (or the need) to retain Niko.

    Round 22: Dolphins vs St George Illawarra Dragons, July 31st.

    He is only back at training today and did non contact drills. He could possibly be named, but highly unlikely to play.

    Round 22: Dolphins vs St George Illawarra Dragons, July 31st.

    Stone and Bostock set to return. Katoa and Averillo not as fortunate.

    Their season was over when they got beat by StG at Suncorp. They used up all their luck during last year's finals. Without the luck and the sublime form of Walsh, they are a very poor side.

    Round 19: Dolphins vs North QLD

    A very daunting opening 15 mins, but totally dominated from that point onwards. 57% pos., 10 LB and 1800 m rushing. The Dolphins have hit back in convincing fashion. Sitting in 5th with six games to go. Hopefully, Katoa returns in three weeks time as he is terribly missed. The Dolphins control...
