    Injury and suspension updates

    Frankie Molo suspended for one match. Ray Stone is long odds to play vs the Broncos due to two bung shoulders. That would make nine regulars unavailable.

    Round 23 vs Sydney Roosters

    The Roosters will be threatening 70 here. The season has come crashing down in a devastating heap. Bring on 2026.

    Round 23 vs Sydney Roosters

    A huge dose of reality tonight. I thought this might happen considering their less than convincing performance last week. They are playing like a third year team missing a host of key players. A playoff spot is looking less likely now.

    Round 23 vs Sydney Roosters

    Plenty of incentive for the boys tonight as a victory will put eight fingers and one thumb on a maiden playoff berth. They will also climb at least one place in the standings at the expense of the floundering Broncos. Standing in the way will be a desperate Rooster side who will be extremely...

    Recruitment and retention

    Schneider is a backup half at best and will never play a regular role in any club (just like SOS). If KNik leaves (doubtful), they certainly won't be scrambling to sign Schneider to an extension to serve as his replacement. That would be moronic.

    Round 23 vs Sydney Roosters

    The Dolphins maintain 8th spot with their last gasp win over NZ. But, as usual, it came at a monumental cost. Losing Herbie could be the final straw for this very brave squad. The opportunities he creates out of absolutely nothing is second to none. He is impossible to replace. I think...

    Injury and suspension updates

    Any word on Issako? He struggled with that groin for most of the game. Herbie is yet another massive loss. These hits keep coming, but the Dolphins still manage to keep their head above water. If they ever have a clean injury/suspension slate in the future, they might be almost unbeatable.

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    A vital match for both teams. The hosts are barely clinging to the top 4 and the visitors are desperate to remain in the top 8 and possibly climb. Both sides with injury concerns. The Warriors are missing their two best forwards and half their spine. The Dolphins are having an injury crisis of...

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    I agree. He is also very good defensively. He is a bit wasted on the wing, but his speed makes him a better option than Feagai.

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    KNik is on the plane which means that he'll be good to go.

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    I only watched part of the game last night. I seen Fuller produce a LB and TA.

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    I like Willison. He's a young big bopper who would be handy off the bench. I like Mariner as well. Speed to burn and he would thrive under Woolfy. I think the Dolphins tried to sign both of these guys, but they made the foolish decision of staying put. Mariner was willing to break his contract...

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    It's basically a 5 team race to nab 3 playoff spots and a chance for the others to solidify or improve on their current placing. 3 wins will get the Dolphins there. Friday's game is massive (as they all are). Does anyone see any changes in the way it currently stands? Who'll finish top 4? Will...

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    It'll be a tough game. Auckland isn't an easy place for visiting teams and the Dolphins seem to struggle against them. It's a huge game for both teams which means that anything can happen.

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    Wayde Egan suffered a Category 1 concussion and won't be available for this game. He, along with Metcalf and Barnett are massive losses for this quickly sinking squad. If the Dolphins are serious about a playoff berth this year, then they'll easily dispose of a very vulnerable NZ side. The...

    Round 20 - Dolphins vs Cowboys

    That's a good looking side. Let's hope Flegler is good to go next year. Donga will be in there somewhere. Probably at 13 with Plath at 9. JMK a bench option. Averillo doesn't really suit in the bench role. It will be interesting to see how Cobbo goes in Dolphin colours.

    Round 20 - Dolphins vs Cowboys

    A .500 record heading into their final bye is a great accomplishment considering that they started 0-4. Also, currently the top offense in the comp. Get used to that stat. The Dolphins are going to pile on some points in the coming years. Three more victories will clinch a playoff spot. The...

    Round 20 - Dolphins vs Cowboys

    The Dolphins recorded their greatest ever margin of victory the last time these two teams met. Circumstances have changed significantly for both clubs since that day. A victory tonight will bring their magic number down to 3. Despite the potential season destroying injury toll, the Dolphins...
