    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    They won't do that. I thought Plath did a credible job, especially defensively. 38 tackles (0 missed) is outstanding for someone who hasn't played in 10 months. Schneider is a worry, though, but he isn't a natural #9 anyways. Hopefully, Donga is back on Saturday.

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    3 Hammer- 314m, T, LB, LBA. 2 Finefeuiaki- 215m, T, LB, TA, 34 Tck. 1 Gilbert- 134m, 43 Tck (0 missed). Plenty of work still to be done, but I'll take the two points in a game where they looked dead and buried. The Flegs injury is a major concern. Cobbo, Plath, Stone and Knik also had good...

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    Both teams will be looking to hit back after pathetic performances last weekend. The Dolphins only lost by ten points, but that severely flattered them as 41% possession and 31% territory = an awful game. Stone and Plath are big INS despite their lack of match fitness. They will hopefully...

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    Your mate is bullshitting you. He has done nil contract training since his injury and there are questions whether his shoulder has healed at all. The prognosis is that he'll be back by June. That might be wishful thinking.

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    They got hot for eight weeks on the back of their dynamic #1. They looked ordinary during every game of the finals, but Walsh somehow dragged them back every single time. Can he do that again? Only time will tell. If he can't, the Broncos will struggle to make the playoffs.

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    Saifiti is nowhere near a return. Donga will be back possibly in Rd 3 (at the very earliest). Plath will be named on the bench at the expense of ?????. Trai Fuller considering an immediate move to ESL.

    Round 1: Dolphins vs South Sydney

    41% possession, 31% territory, 39 MT (Sths 19), 67% CR, lost the PC/RI count, but still had a sniff to win that game. That's the sort of team the Dolphins are. They can score from anywhere, but can't defend to save their lives. Donga and Plath will shore up the middle and the return of Molo...

    Round 1: Dolphins vs South Sydney

    A total mismatch here. Basic errors, missed tackles, penalties, ruck infringements, just some dumb play. Gilbert, Knowles, Schneider, all terrible. Certainly need Donga and Plath to shore up that middle. Gaps everywhere. This could get ugly.

    I think he is only signed to a QCup contract.

    Round 1: Dolphins vs South Sydney

    Kayo Stadium is a mess. Thankfully, Suncorp has better drainage. It will still be extremely trying conditions.

    Round 1: Dolphins vs South Sydney

    Two teams who were severely affected by injury in '25 (especially Souths) and two teams who most pundits feel are a huge chance of a playoff spot in '26. The Dolphins still feeling the effects of the casualty and suspension curse with a couple of "carry overs" and a couple of fresh concerns...
