    2026 Squad

    I don't watch IRL as it bores the shit out of me. But, I hope the Brits win it. They won't even come close, though.

    2026 Squad

    I'm not sure if they are "dynasty" material. They looked pretty ordinary for portions of all three of their finals games. The difference being Reece Walsh who was basically a one man wrecking crew. Even their comeback victory v Dolphins wouldn't have happened if not for the Walsh factor. Their...

    lol, you can squash this minor rumour. He has signed with Warrington.

    2025 Squad

    Apparently when he was at the Broncos, he didn't socialise in the player's circles. He wasn't real popular there because of that. He probably isn't captain material if he's still the same.

    Recruitment and retention

    Rugby League doesn't work that way, unfortunately. It's front on physicality ensures that there is always a significant injury toll across the board. Look at Flegler's ailment. An innocuous tackle that still could be career defining. But, I'd like to think the Dolphins will have better luck...

    Recruitment and retention

    Modern day RL clubs don't rely on juniors anymore. That is a desperately old fashioned viewpoint. With a lot more money in the sport these days, clubs explore the open market and shape their team around these guys. I couldn't give a shit about how many Dolphin juniors advance to first grade. I...

    Recruitment and retention

    28 players currently in the top 30 for 2026. Not sure on the developmental contract status. I haven't heard any rumours on possible future acquisitions.

    Hammer out for 8 weeks. That will rule him out for any rep footy.

    Best 17 in 2026

    Way too early for this, but as I stare at Mt.

    Final Round: Dolphins vs Canberra

    The highest offensive team in the comp this year and the 9th most in NRL history. A 12-12 record and 9th place finish is their best result in their young history. Jamayne Issako wins his second scoring title in three years. Hammer runner up in tries scored.This club is headed for special things...

    Final Round: Dolphins vs Canberra

    Not to mention blowing an 18 point HT lead to Canberra. Plenty of ifs and buts. Hopefully, next year, we will see an improvement in some of those opportunities not secured.

    Final Round: Dolphins vs Canberra

    Yep. I'm anticipating a break through 2026. If the Dolphins can stay relatively healthy, they will have the rest of the comp on notice. I firmly believe that.

    Round 26 vs Titans

    A win today will extend the playoff hunt till the final weekend of the season for the second consecutive year. But, unlike this year, the Dolphins controlled their own destiny and fell short. Both teams have players that can hurt you and both teams are woeful defensively. I have no idea how this...

    Round 26 vs Titans

    Another nail in the coffin. I didn't watch the game as we are exploring Kyoto tonight. Hopefully, the Dolphins can finish their season off on a positive note. Starting 0-4 was always going to come back to bite them. A devastating injury toll further sealed their fate for season 2025.

    Looking good so far.

    Round 26 vs Titans

    Yep, injuries have killed us this year. Imagine this team even with the inclusions of Plath and Herbie. It's a 50% better squad. Offensively, this team reminds me of the Bronco juggernaut of the 90's. That team could score at will and were a threat all over the park. The Dolphins are headed in...
