    Round 14: Dolphins vs St. George Illawarra Dragons

    Saifiti won't be playing. He is at least two weeks away (probably longer). Graham will be dropped.

    2025 Squad

    Incredibly, the Dolphins jump three spots on the ladder by simply having a bye weekend. That almost never happens. That's the advantage in having a decent f/a. It is sitting right there for them. They control their own destiny. A patch of good form would see them firmly entrenched in the 8...

    2025 Central QLD Capras Thread

    Fuller only played 41 mins last night. Anybody know why? I hope he didn't aggravate that injury.

    Recruitment and retention

    Junior came in a bit overweight as well. He had a bit of speed before his injury (last year). He has bulked up considerably since then. It's been to his detriment because he is now slow and ineffective. At least from Val, we got a two try debut and few flashes of brilliance after that. Junior...

    Recruitment and retention

    Haas and Carrigan would walk onto the Dolphin's side. Walsh...meh....there's a lot of baggage involved. I'd take Staggs over Averillo as well. I know he has struggled as of late, but a new environment would do him a world of good. The Broncos are a shit show 8-17, .320, -115 (last 25 games)...

    Round 12: Dolphins v Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs

    Definitely one of their greatest victories in their short history. That is without doubt. Nothing beats the win over the Roosters, but this is a close second or third. My favourite is still the 8 tries in 25 minutes demolition in Darwin. But, last night was huge. It kept them relevant as far as...

    Round 12: Dolphins v Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs

    Both teams have key players missing and the Dolphins backline looks a hell of a lot less potent without the presence of the Hammer. It could be a wet game which might even things up a bit. I'm anticipating another close one and the Dolphins desperately need to spring an upset here in order to...

    Round 12: Dolphins v Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs

    I would think both are very unlikely to be named in the lineup today.

    Round 11 vs New Zealand Warriors

    I can't argue with that. A game high 50 tackles plus 97 running metres. He is a really good player in the making.

    Round 11 vs New Zealand Warriors

    Full credit to NZ. The Dolphins basically spent the entire second half in the opposition red zone, but couldn't break the line till the 71st minute. But, I thought the Dolphins were impatient at times which led to their many errors (16). They needed to complete their sets and wait for the...

    Round 11 vs New Zealand Warriors

    A lopsided penalty count and an obvious knock on has thwarted any momentum that the Dolphins may have hoped to have. Maybe that will even up in the second half. The Dolphins have played well, but are up against a very committed side and will struggle to get back into this game. The skipper being...

    Round 11 vs New Zealand Warriors

    Another big game as far as the context of the season goes. In fact, it may possibly determine where this team is headed this year. NZ have won the battle up front in the majority of their games but it hasn't really converted to scoring points. But, unlike traditional Warrior sides, they have...

    Round 11 vs New Zealand Warriors

    NZ sitting in 2nd spot with a 7-2 record but with a f/a of a measly +1. The Dolphins sit ten spots lower on the ladder and are +10. That is mind boggling. The Dolphins are the only team in the bottom nine with a positive f/a. They also have the seventh best offense in the comp. If they ever sort...

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Parramatta Eels

    I'm not overly confident (unlike last week) in this one. Despite playing a club who has been on a downward spiral for 3 years, this will be a tough match on Commbank stadium soil. They were extremely disappointing last week and another loss tonight will basically seal their fate. Dolphins by 4...

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Parramatta Eels

    The season has yet to hit the halfway point, but I consider this game as a "must win". Dropping to 3-7 will leave too big of a hole to climb out of. They almost climbed out of 0-4, but will need to finish at least 9-5 to contend for a playoff spot (if they lose on Thursday). They need to get...

    He has already had the surgery performed. Out another 4-6 weeks. Donoghoe and Kafusi will likely be back on Thursday.
