    2026 pre-season

    Tbf, three of their tries occurred when the Dolphins were short-handed. It was also the same time that the younger guys were getting their stints. The same young guys that snatched victory in the last ten minutes. I'm not saying there isn't defensive issues because there definitely is (along...

    2026 Squad

    Frankie Molo is staring down a three week vacation. It's a shame because he was excellent last night except for that one brainless indiscretion. 2026 is shaping up to be another season where we will fail to see the full side on the park (or even close). Currently eight players on the injury list...

    2026 pre-season

    27 man squads with unlimited interchange and nil strategy. Anyone who gets excited or concerned over the result of a preseason match are not thinking clearly.

    Whats the biggest blowout score line you've seen in person

    Bris 76 Halifax 0, 1997 SL WCC at ANZ Stadium. There couldn't have been more than ten thousand fans there. Until that season, I wasn't aware of the enormous gap between Australian and British rugby league. That season was farcical. A really bad period for the sport.

    Club DNA

    It is 100% true. The player was Mick Devere. WB said that he had lost the "fire" in his eyes and wasn't as committed as he once was.

    Injury and suspension updates

    It's only January and the Dolphins already have three players on the long term injury list. The club has excellent depth and they'll need every bit of it and more, again this year.

    2026 pre-season

    I guess it depends on the circumstances. If it's another injury plagued year where it's impossible to name the same 17 every week, then that is a valid excuse. But, if they keep their key players on the paddock, they will give it a real shot. They arguably have the best roster in the comp. If...

    2026 pre-season

    Isn't the first trial against the Capras? They won't pick any regulars in that squad. If you meant the first game of the preseason challenge, then you've picked a good lineup.

    2026 Squad

    It will all depend on form, injuries etc. If the Dolphins are flying high at 8-0 and injury free, Woolf probably won't disrupt a winning formula and might send Bostock down to Q Cup initially. But, the Dolphins are unlikely to be undefeated and without injury headaches= Bostock could slot...

    2026 Squad

    We just secured our tickets for Darwin in April. I've yet to attend a Dolphin match and I've certainly haven't been to a footy match in the Top End. We are looking forward to it. Darwin is always a lot of fun. Grandstand tickets still available if any of this forum's members are keen to make the...

    Recruitment and retention

    This was written a month ago. A lot has happened since then.

    2026 Squad

    As we witnessed last year, you can never have too many forwards on the books. The Dolphins have a very strong roster. With a minimal injury list in 2026 (we can only hope), the results will reflect that.
