    Recruitment and retention

    I thought it was a done deal. George Williams was a gun HALFBACK how many years ago now but no way he is displacing Katoa.

    Who you supporting today? I'm not really fussed either way. I'd prefer the Broncos win but don't want us to become a "junior partner". I think we are strong enough now that we won't be such a partner but still a successful Broncos will take away from our supporter base.

    Seems Williams is coming. I'm surprised. Looks like we will have two halfbacks. What do they say about too many cooks in the kitchen? I guess it means Averillo won't be extended. Have too many excellent outside backs. 5/8 had to be his position. Unless Herbie and Cobbo go to Perth.

    You think Kikau can be turned into a good middle forward? I have my doubts. Kenny Bromwich wasn't able to do that.

    He's the highest paid player in that pack and almost any pack. Only Haas and the dramatically overpaid David Fifita and Faasuamaleaui are on more.

    I think the ESL may be Kikau's next and final pay day. Judging from the game I watched a couple of days ago but you would know better than me.

    Thanks. Yes, I meant Jake Preston the Bulldogs backrower, probably their bear player. Way better than Kikau.

    How much is Preston Campbell is on? He's much better than Kikau.

    One thing I can say to defend the Dogs is that the first half from Penrith is as good as you will see. I don't think many teams could have gone with them. The only way would be to fight attacking football with attacking football, as the Dolphins can and will do in spades next year.

    Remember Bulldogs are missing the best centre in the history of rugby league🤔.

    Bulldogs will come back. Not enough to win but make the scores closer. Because Ivan Cleary will rest Cleary, Yeo, To'o and one of two other with 15 min left.

    2025 Redcliffe Dolphins Thread

    Redcliffe are in the major semi final against Burleigh Bears. Bears won the minor premiership but are very beatable considering the number of our boys who were called up for NRL due to all the injuries.

    For anyone who blocks Spybook, aka facebook as I do, the 4 are Katoa, Donoghue. Hammer and Herbie. Not sure how Hammer made that list. He had a good year but I think very far from our best. Herbie was outstanding, period. Donoghue was a model of being consistently good. Katoa had a field day...

    Final Round: Dolphins vs Canberra

    This has been going on for a while. Niko has the occasional blinder. Like in the last round against Canberra's reserve grade team and Averillo has proven inconsistent at 5/8 though if he had a full off season training at 5/8 and then a good number of games there, starting in the trials, who...

    I don't think there is any debate about that. His career as an edge backrower was well and truly over at the end of the 2024 season.

    Fuis as in Kaufusi? He's been prop all this season. From round 1.

    Finefeuiaki will go to prop????? He won't. The first choice prop rotation will be Flegler, Saifiti, Kaufusi, Molo. If or when one of those 3 is out, Rasmussen or Tawha or or Jackson. Then Stone or Gilbert being turned into lightweight props. Might be a bit hard for Stone. He might find it hard...
