Hunt has now declared that he will sign with a club who are most likely to win a premiership. He may not consider the Dolphins to be in that category.
I still think the Dolphins will win their first title before Brisbane wins their next. I have mixed feelings with the Hunt situation. He...
Dan Saifiti needs a spot in there somewhere. Gilbert probably not fit by Round 1. Gutho probably not interested in locating to Bris. K Brom will probably snag a bench spot. Plath will have a starting role.
They may not have to cut loose SOS. Even if they do, they still have to pay him. I don't imagine any other club being interested in his services (SOS, that is). I do agree with you though. Hunt is odds on in wearing a Dolphin jersey in '25.
It's probably been mentioned before but the Dolphins are planning to table a very healthy offer for Xavier Willison for 2026 onwards. With Kaufusi, K Brom and Nicholls all off contract, they'll certainly have the funds.
The glaring issue though is that Gilbert, Lemuelu, Fuller and Flegs aren't tipped to be available in Round 1. A couple more injuries during the preseason could see could see a significant sick bay before the season even starts.
WB very unhappy with the Fuller no try. He continues to call for the bunker to be scrapped. It certainly was a big call and may have influenced the outcome.
Night quite good enough. I can live with that. They gave it their best effort. Extremely disappointing but looking forward to the coming seasons. I'm anticipating a breakthrough year in '25.
Newcastle are up for this and are playing really well. But they are notorious for fading out. If the Dolphins can crack them a couple of times, it will go along way towards victory. The injection of KNik will be a key moment.
Most Dolphin fans are talking up a comfortable victory and that could prove true but I'm not near as optimistic.
Both teams are quite similar. A makeshift halves pairing, a sub par boiler room but very strong backlines. Newcastle have won two straight but have struggled for the most part...
It could happen but unlikely. But this game will be painfully close. Projections of another Dolphin master class are way off mark. This will be a very tough match to win.
