    Round 26 vs Titans

    Feagai made 12 tackles and missed only 2. Isaako had a rough day with 2 tackles with 4 missed. Jamayne struggles to make the side next year with Cobbo arriving. Feagai won't even be in the picture.

    Round 26 vs Titans

    You put too much stock into these depth/journeyman/fringe players. My bet is that Feagai is released during the off season.

    Round 25: Dolphins v Manly

    Feagai is clearly a major weakness in that backline. That's why he was signed as depth from a club who no longer wanted him. He's doing his best with the limited ability that he has. Losing Bostock and Herbie was always going to be a massive hole that is impossible to fill.

    Round 25: Dolphins v Manly

    Incredibly, there is still a window of opportunity there. A Dolphin win next weekend coupled with a Rooster loss has them improving to 8th. It's hard to imagine, but they are still a shot of a playoff spot (not really). Btw, thanks for the beer tips. We've had a blast tonight experiencing the...

    Round 25: Dolphins v Manly

    I'm glad I was too busy being a tourist and decided not to watch this train wreck. Two 50+ scorelines in the past three weeks= the season has come crashing down. How bad are the Broncos going that they had to fight hard to beat this severely depleted squad? Onto next year where the results will...

    Round 25: Dolphins v Manly

    That's an interesting bit of info there. It certainly is an urban sprawl. We've only arrived yesterday and we are still getting our heads around it. It's a fascinating place, what little we've seen of it, but the heat is next level.

    Round 25: Dolphins v Manly

    Watching the game from downtown Tokyo today where the heat is oppressive and the beer is delightful. Most of the steam went out of the season with their loss to the Broncos last week and a playoff spot from this position is mainly a pipe dream. But, a win today will keep it somewhat interesting...

    Recruitment and retention

    Harrison Graham is heading to Newcastle in 2026.

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    He's been alright. A bit mistake prone and finds himself out of position at times, but I'm a big fan of his contributions. But, if Cobbo is switched on, he'll be impossible to keep out of the lineup as we all know what he is capable of.

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    No room for Hammer? You can't be serious. Round 1, 2026 will most likely look like this if the impossible happens and they are at full strength. 1 Hammer 2 Cobbo 3 Averillo 4 Herbie 5 Bostock 6 KNik 7 Katoa.

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    4 points out with 3 games remaining is the worst possible scenario this weekend could have produced. Chances are very slim of a maiden post season, but not impossible. But, the Broncos or the Roosters would have to fall over and the Dolphins would have to win 2 of 3 (at least). The Dolphins...

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    It's crazy blowing a 14 point lead like that. They were in total control until they weren't. Just too many guys missing. The forwards worked their asses off, but Haas ran rings around them. The quality of key personnel missing is just too great for the comp's newest team. The top 8 is set in...

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    The enormity of tonight's game cannot be overstated for both clubs. A Dolphin loss will probably see the end of a season dominated by lopsided victories and tremendous potential, but marred by long term injuries. Can they bounce back from last week's massacre? Will Fuller add an extra element of...

    Season end prediction

    It depends on how tomorrow night goes. A loss will certainly spell the end, but a victory gives us a hell of a chance. I'm confident (somewhat) about this game. I don't rate the Broncos at all and a loss for them will probably see them continue their free fall out of playoff contention. But...

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    Ben TeKura. Piakura has been a regular member of their squad this year.

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    Even at full strength, the Broncos aren't a top 4 side. If they were, they'd be snuggled securely in there along with Melbourne and Canberra. Instead, they are battling an injury hit third year team just to stay alive. There is a lot of media hype surrounding the Broncos which only adds...

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    Mam, Cobbo, ARey, Piakura, Willison, BTK.

    Round 23 vs Sydney Roosters

    Su'a has played four tier 3 games this year. He is long odds in jumping two levels by March. Knowles, like all British imports, is the great uncertainty. He might find the NRL too fast for him. He definitely is not guaranteed a regular spot next year.

    Round 23 vs Sydney Roosters

    That is a very strong side with the likes of Fuller, Knowles, Averillo, Feagai, Stone, Schneider and Kaufusi (possibly) as depth. Arguably, the best roster in the comp. Now, if they only can get them on the field all at the same time.

    Round 23 vs Sydney Roosters

    Handily? Are you sure? A 54 point loss at home against a team lower in the standings in a vital match= the Dolphins have hit the wall. In fact, they have smashed head on into it. I'm not counting them out vs the Bronx as both teams are eerily similar. Both are struggling. Both are...
