This is hard. Some serious quality players have to miss out. Is it time to move on Gilbert? He has no future at lock for the Dolphins. The team is much better with the ball playing of Plath and Donoghue. He could turn himself into a small prop but can we have so much money tird up in the props? Anyway, let's see what happens in the off season but right now:
  1. Hammer
  2. Bostock
  3. Herbie
  4. Averillo
  5. Cobbo
  6. Niko
  7. Katoa
  8. Saifiti
  9. JMK
  10. Flegler
  11. Finefeuiaki
  12. Lemuelu
  13. Plath

  14. Donoghue
  15. Gilbert
  16. Kaufusi
  17. Molo

  18. Fuller
So Isaako, Fuller, Keeley, Naufahu, Tawha miss out. Is Stone still under contract next year? If so, he'll miss out as well.

Pretty good but Gilbert isn't a backrower and Plath isn't a hooker.

theres no way that knowles n gilbert will be out of the side two internarial forwards ( theres no way also gilbert wont be here till 28 when his contract run out fact he made gilbert captain, also another reason i dont see it changing and donga aint even a full time forward ffs


you guys are pissing in the wind if you think they moving on gilbert ( i think fuis be used more as a prop)

Two good dummy half prospects coming through the pathways John Fineanganofo who's on a Dev deal for 2026 and NRL for 2027 and Jordan Plath who's been so impressive for Redcliffe since getting into the QCup side after playing 4 NSW Cup games earlier this year for the Rabbitohs.
