    Sounds like a plan but not sure. I'm from the area but live in West End now for work reasons. I work in logistics. Often have to work based on cargo ships and tankers coming and going and that's more a guesstimate. More than 50% of the time they arrive early (due to calm seas) or late (due to...

    Recruitment and retention

    Surprised he is being let go but according to Woolf, he might have fallen behind Zac Graton and/or Lewis Symonds and maybe Knowles as well. I actually don't really know about Knowles at all. He was already behind Lemuelu and Finefuiaki. I just hope he isn't planning to play Plath or Gilbert in...

    I see your point but the form Plath showed when Gilbert was injured then the form Donoghue showed when Plath and Gilbert were injured, I think Donoghue has to be in the 17. He is a genuine utility so I think #14 is perfect. Leave it to Plath, Gilbert and Knowles to fight it out for 2 more spots...

    I thought Gilbert to prop, Plath to lock, Donoghue to #14 and Knowls...... no idea really.

    Personally I don't see Plath as much of a utility nowadays. Seems more like a specialist lock.

    I think everyone got Donoghue wrong except for you. Based on the form he showed under Wayne, I think our opinions were correct. But obviously Woolf unlocked something. Needs to back it up next season.

    Sweetie? I just hope you won't complain when he calls you names you don't like.

    Why The Dolphins?

    You have a good memory. I remember that game I think in 2023. They were without Ponga and we were dominating but bombed literally about 5 tries and lost by 1 or 2 points. It turned out to be vital in the context of making, or in the end, not making the finals.

    Why The Dolphins?

    I guess you might call Herbie a marquee, as you saw how much worse we were without him, but a marquee player in the spine and one of Ponga's ability is on another level. I'm surprised the people above Flanagan at St. George haven't stepped in to demand his son is dropped. You can't expect...

    Why The Dolphins?

    They had an injury toll even worse than us last year. Including Ponga out for most of the season. Take arguably the ebst player in the game out of any team and it will struggle. I'm not saying I think they will be good. I don't think they will make the 8. But I doubt they will be close to the spoon.

    Why The Dolphins?

    They will field 17 players but an 18th man in every game. You mean one very good player, possibly the best in the game and another who is overrated but still very good plus 15 others. Unless the 15 others can hardly catch a ball, I think they won't be bad. They have Bradman Best and Tyson...

    Why The Dolphins?

    Knights have Ponga on and Brown. True Brown has so far been massively overrated and massively overpaid but he's still a handy player. Parra were offering to pay him 900k a season.

    Promising Juniors

    Though the population is less than SE QLD. But still, you'd think they have more than enough talent to fill out one NRL squad.

    Why The Dolphins?

    It's kind of funny the farce going on there. Kyle Flanagan wouldn't make the reserve grade team if his dad wasn't head coach. But I think good ol GC might collect the spoon. They have 3 high quality fullbacks and zero quality halves.

    Why The Dolphins?

    If Ponga stays fit, they'll probably make the 8. Or 50-50 chance. He was injured for so much of last season people have forgotten how good he is.
