I think Plath will be 13 and play virtually no dummy half.

I think Donoghue will win the bench spot unless Averillo gets 5/8 and Nikorima bench. Donoghue covers more positions making him an ideal bench player and will cover for JMK who only needs 10mins a game off.

Maybe but so far Donoghue hasn't done much good in the multiple chances he's been given.

I believe Dongohue will sneak into the best 17 unless Averillo wins 5/8

Gonna for once kind of agree with Mr. C here. I wouldn't go so far as to say no chance but with more depth every year, not sure if he plays NRL next year.

Hope not because won't that mean Flegler isn't returning?

Dolphins are losing 3 middles end of 2025 so they need to stock up.

You need at least 4 good props to be competitive and you need another fill-in backups to be further competitive.

Nicholls, Bromwich and Kaufusi are on the way out and Kerr lost his way with discipline during the season where he was sent packing to the QLD Cup. They need to add support around Saifiti and Flegler as the cupboard is thin after that.

Couple of young props coming through but you are probably right.
