    2025 Squad

    Okay. You definitely know about Kurt Donoghue better than I. More importantly, next year. What a situation to be in. FIVE high quality locks. Not in any particular order: Donoghue Knowles Plath Gilbert Stone For attack, Donoghue is the best. For defence, Gilbert. As a combination of the two...

    2025 Squad

    Who votes now? That many? I don't think it was even close to that. He played the first 2 or 3, came on at hooker and we were saying on this forum what a crap hooker he was. Then he had a long stint in QLD Cup and I think played 2 or 3 more last year, also coming on at hooker. Maybe have been a...

    2025 Squad

    I thought it was based on the number of NRL games one has played before the season in question, not when one debuted.

    No one is going to have more than 2 or 3 pre-season games because there are only 2 or 3 pre-season games. To be precise, there are 3. 1 which is basically a warm up for the B team against Broncos or Gold Coast B team and 2 pre-season challenge games.

    2025 Squad

    I know he missed several games due to his hamstring issue but Crighton and Staggs also missed a few as far as I know and Herbie's form was so good when he was fit, I thought surely he deserved one of the Dally M team of the year centre spots. Bostock would have also been right up there for a...

    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.

    Finals 2025

    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.
