    Round 13: Dolphins v St George Illawarra Dragons

    Your memory serves correct. FB was his primary position when he played for the Bronco's NYC team and he did occasionally slot in there for the first grade side. Bennett used him at HB for a stage there but he was inconsistent. Either brilliant or bad. The writing was on the wall when WB got...

    Round 13: Dolphins v St George Illawarra Dragons

    Origin players not available this weekend. Dolphins are minus Hammer and Gilbert and Ben Hunt won't be around either. I agree that this is a huge game. The next month or so is massive and could give us a better indication on whether this side can grab an unlikely playoff spot or not.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    A swinging arm which connects with the head is always going to be under scrutiny and almost always results in suspension. I realise he was fired up and was only providing aggression but unfortunately Welch was falling just as he arrived. I like what he brings to the team but unfortunately...

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Yep, could have been a different game if he secures that ball. But these things happen in footy. The boys did well to prevent a blow out.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Niko has been their best player during the past month. He'll be starting for the rest of the year unless his form dips.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Melbourne are far too strong. Basic errors and ill discipline just plays into their hands. Lopsided result incoming.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Yes, a win tonight could heighten their top 4 aspirations. A big ask this evening though and if Munster and Grant are firing, the Dolphins will get blown off the park. Melbourne have had an indifferent season thus far but they should be good enough tonight unfortunately.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Yep, either Reddy or Melb will join four other teams on 16 pts. It would be mind blowing if the Dolphins were equal first at almost the halfway stage of the season.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Tesi is only on a one year contract but he is a chance to be re-signed. Herbie will walk into that L centre position which might mean that Aitken switches sides or he may possibly struggle to make the squad next year as will Brenko.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Val has been confirmed as playing Q Cup this afternoon which means that Brenko has overcome his hammy issues. He'll be testing it tonight when trying to contain a strong ball runner in Justin Olam. Let's hope he can do the job required.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Big Val in the trimmed down squad of 19. There is a rumour going around that Brenko is still struggling with that hammy.

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Big Val set to be dropped according to some media outlets. I would keep him in the lineup for impact alone. He has his defensive deficiencies but none worse than Brenko. I haven't forgiven Lee for his defensive misread against the Broncos which allowed Capewell a runaway try. If not for...

    Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

    Maybe because KNik is more versatile and can cover a number of positions whereas you don't have that luxury with Milf. Personally, I think Milf will be dropped with Ese'ese coming onto the bench. Pretty hard to drop Herman when he has been so strong as of late. I could be way off but a...

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Cronulla Sharks

    I have no words. This guy is a human wrecking ball.

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Cronulla Sharks

    Yep. If the Dolphins surrender yet another early deficit, it could end up being a very long day. On paper, Cronulla should win this one handily but as we know, the Dolphins don't read the form guides.

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Cronulla Sharks

    I think he played Lock in the Penrith organisation. He is small and I'm not sure of Bennett's plans as far as the future goes. He does have something about him though and could be a key component down the track.

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Cronulla Sharks

    Stone is out due to concussion protocols. Teague is just a kid. He is a very good player in the making.

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Cronulla Sharks

    Don't worry, he is a million to one of taking the field. Hammy injuries don't disappear overnight. WB is famous for naming players who are totally in doubt. It's his way of taking the pressure off the debutant.
