    Recruitment and retention

    I think he is looking for a bit of a payrise. I can't imagine that he is earning more than 300K. It'll be his last contract, so he is looking to cash in. Like another poster stated, he would struggle to make the top 17 in a full strength side. But, since that never happens, maybe he is worth...

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    I suspect SOS will get the gig. He's a specialist half and the next man up for the position. It's probably the safer (and least disruptive) option as well. Kodi's injury will have huge ramifications as it will severely affect their potency. I suspect this ever expanding injury toll is about to...

    They'd better hurry as there are only 11 hours remaining.

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    Another resounding victory spoiled by another long term injury. This team has proven depth which is very impressive for a third year team. These guys won't die wondering, but it will catch up to them soon. With a full team (or close to it), this squad would be dead set title contenders. That'll...

    Recruitment and retention

    Junior Tupou has linked with the Sydney Roosters effective immediately. I thought it was strange that he was all of a sudden omitted for tonight's game. Now an opening in the top 30 to be filled by someone before Tuesday.

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    Another vital match where a victory followed by the bye will firmly entrench the Dolphins in the playoff hunt heading into the bottom third of the season. Standing in the way are the WB led Rabbitohs who will be looking to snap a 4 game skid. Not an easy task against an almost full strength...

    Recruitment and retention

    There we go. Usually when things don't make sense, it's because it is total bullshit. Splitting up the best halves combo in the comp was never believable to me.

    Recruitment and retention

    He hasn't won a premiership. Like I said earlier, I'd be very surprised if he departs in 2026. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Why leave the NRL when you are enjoying the best form of your life? The ESL is where players go to die. You'd have to be pretty silly to assume that...

    Recruitment and retention

    The only problem with that is there's not any room in the roster. They would have to offload someone in order to accommodate Cobbo. Reports were circulating that Tupou was free to negotiate with another club in time for June 30, but obviously that didn't eventuate. They would have to send a...

    Recruitment and retention

    Has anyone notified Kodi of this swap? Kodi is having a career year and has been magnificent as a Dolphin. There won't be a trade of any sort. That would be a significant downgrade.

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    Peter Hola named in the extended squad. He has 15 games experience and we may see him in the engine room before the season ends.

    Kaufusi underwent surgery yesterday and is out for a month.

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    The current standings with a game to play in the round. The Dolphins fall to 9th, but that's a bit misleading as they have a bye in hand with those narrowly ahead of them (except for Cronulla). They also have a f/a that shits on all of them. A win next weekend followed by the bye will have them...

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    Cam Murray is a key casualty as well, but he has been gone all season. Junior Tupou might be in consideration for that wing spot as he has played well in Q Cup. I realise that they are trying to get rid of him before June 30 as they'd like to fill his spot with a prop, but I wouldn't be...

    Round 16 v Newcastle Knights

    A tough loss considering that they overcame a 12 pt deficit and even held the lead for a brief period there. Newcastle played well, but I thought the Dolphins looked a hell of a lot more dangerous. It just didn't happen tonight and they'll have to work out a way to beat the Knights if they ever...

    Round 16 v Newcastle Knights

    Bostock won't be back this season. There is a 12 point breeze here. The Dolphins should be OK. If they can hang onto the ball, they'll have enough points in them.

    Round 16 v Newcastle Knights

    The Dolphins are heavy favourites with the punters, but don't let that fool you as this will be a very tough game. Newcastle have won the last three meetings between the two teams and have only leaked 32 points. They seem to have mastered a game plan that seriously negates the Dolphin's potency...

    Injury and suspension updates

    Kaufusi suspended for two matches. That'll further test the depth.

    There was an article the other day from the club where they stated that Gilbert is gone for the year.

    Round 15: Dolphins vs North QLD

    Bostock 4 T (club record), 2 LB, 1 TA, 1 LBA, 312 m (club record). Niko 1 T, 3 LB, 2 LBA, 2 TA, 124 m, 21 tackles. Gotta give it to Kodi. It was the best game of his career.
