    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    Another hard game given at least 5 of our first string forward pack will be out. Hopefully Kerr and Kenny B are back. Bostock gone now as well. Incredibly unlucky. I guess Feagai will come straight in for Bostock. Not sure how Fuller has been going in Cup but bringing him back and putting Hammer...

    Round 16 v Newcastle Knights

    More woes for the forward pack with Kaufusi suspended for a couple of weeks. But it's only against Newcastle. Should be able to get away with it and then head into the bye. I have no idea who will come in for Kaufusi. It'll have to be a development player, won't it?

    Round 15: Dolphins vs North QLD

    After some adversity earlier in the year, things are really looking us for us now. There will never be a better time to beat North QLD who will be without 2 of their spine and Nanai. A win should entrench us in the top 8 and then onto bigger and better things. If the forwards can hold their own...

    Round 14: Dolphins vs St. George Illawarra Dragons

    Bye for round 13 and then the very average Dragons with Saifiti and JMK surely back. If not, the club needs to inform the public what is really going on with them. Did JMK have his infected leg cut off? God knows what is going on with Saifiti's shoulder. There are no easy games in the NRL so no...

    Round 12: Dolphins v Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs

    Here is the one we have been waiting for. The all-conquering Bulldogs, fittest of the fit with the best centre since Reg Gasnier, the best coach since..... .I don't know. Best ever? The super administrator Phillip Ronald Gould and his unlimited supply of guaranteed profitable pubs (how...

    Round 11 vs New Zealand Warriors

    A huge game in the context of our season. Saifiti and JMK will be back. I'd say we are a very good chance. It probably won't be after this round but wouldn't it be something to go equal with the Broncos and then overtake? Given all the hype about them in the pre-season and the way our chances...

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Parramatta Eels

    With Moses in the team, Parramatta are far from easy beats. I thought they were the better team vs Cronulla. As for the Dolphins, I don't really know. Is Nicholls still first grade quality? He plays some good games and gets through a lot of work but seems to have lost a bit of speed. As is, no...

    Round 9: Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters

    That (round 8 vs Canberra) was a huge disappointment. Not only disappointing but so strange. Like they didn't even try in the second half. Canberra player went straight through the line from the kick off to the second half! Anyway, this will be another hard game. There are no easy games in...

    Round 7: Dolphins vs Melbourne

    Hopefully Hughes is out though apparently he went off at halftime yesterday due to precaution only. Ray Stone will be available. You would think he'd come in for Kerr but is it wise? Maybe while Plath and Gilbert are fit, Woolf has to get used to not picking Stone. All 3 are natural locks...

    Round 5: Dolphins vs Gold Coast Titans

    At least Woolf has one forced change on his hands. Gilbert out. So will also need a new captain. I don't think there is any other choice but Herbie Farnworth. More to the point, what to do with Hammer? He has had 4 bad games in a row. He's trying to get involved but is it the halves not giving...

    Round 4: Battle for Brisbane vs Broncos

    On current form, this will be more of a massacre than a battle. I was leaning toward giving a few one last chance but then I thought why? What are they going to do differently than they've done over the first 3 rounds? Hammer might score a length of the field try and have everyone doing...

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Newcastle

    Too early to call this must win but to lose the first two games against who I think almost everyone would agree are two of the weaker teams, will be a massive problem.

    2025 Pack

    Just wondering about the pack for next year. Will it be: 8. Flegler 9. JMK 10. Kaufusi 11. Finefeuiaki 12. Lemuelu 13. Gilbert 14. Plath (give JMK a rest at hooker and Gilbert a rest at lock. So have to stagger their rest times) 15. Nicholls 16. Stone 17. Keeley (I'm going to back him to make...

    Round 25: Melbourne Storm vs Dolphins

    It doesn't get any easier. I wonder if Bellamy would do Wayne a solid and rest several players now they've got the minor premiership pretty much locked up. Even though they've had a bad year, no doubt Broncos have a lot of ability. Specially in the backs. Carrigan and Haas are their only good...

    Round 21: Dolphins v Gold Coast Titans

    Another super disappointing result. With 20min to go I thought the win was in the bag and only wanted them to get through without any more injuries. They did escape without any injuries but of the course we all know the result. It's not that disappointing if you give it hard thought. They rested...

    Round 6: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    BRONCOS v DOLPHINS Friday, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Broncos: Reece Walsh is a chance to return from a facial fracture, which would push Tristan Sailor out of the team. Adam Reynolds will miss out due to a hamstring injury, with Jock Madden to come into the halves. Deine Mariner suffered a back...

    QLD Cup 2024

    Lets not forget about the QLD Cup stating this weekend also. I know they are calling it "Hostplus QLD Cup" now. Too much trouble. I'll continue to refer to it as QLD Cup. Capras Redcliffe Blake Moore Bob Tenza Cooper Marshall Jaylen Grey Connor Rothery Aaron Moore Jack Madden Ilami...

    Other Clubs in 2024

    I'd say based on the games so far, we are going to have to drastically up our game from the trials to have a decent chance of beating the top teams. And if Tom Turbo stays healthy, Manly are going to be right up there.

    Top 5 players, 2023

    I was going to make a video of the top 5 players in 2023. Anyone else want to nominate their top 5? I've ruled out the best two in the first half of the season, JMK and Gilbert due to the number of games they missed. Isaako Wallace Hammer Kafusi Lemuelu
