    Trai Fuller rumoured to be joining StG with immediate effect.

    Recruitment and retention

    He's not allowed to speak to anyone until November. It was only a speculation article. Tedesco will probably retire next year and the Roosters will be looking for a replacement at FB.

    Round 5: Dolphins vs Manly

    The Dolphins next 8 weeks look like this: Bye Penrith (H) (Darwin) NZ (A) Melb (H) Cant (H) Sths (A) Canb (A) Bye. No matter which way you choose to look at it, that is a tough run. Some might say that the Dolphins have a high ceiling and could win all of those. But, do they have a high...

    Round 5: Dolphins vs Manly

    I've been at work and I haven't watched the game and obviously won't waste my time. If someone told me at the start of the game that the scoreline would be 52-18, I would've been 100% confident that it would be in the Dolphins favour. That's how fucking stupid I am. And to think, we are...

    Round 5: Dolphins vs Manly

    The Dolphins are heavy favourites tonight and deserve that status despite their indifferent performances. A mainly dry track at Kayo against a winless (and coachless) team conceding 33 points a game= a chance for the Dolphins to score some serious points. It won't be quite as easy as that, but I...

    Recruitment and retention

    Katoa, Herbie, Donga, Knik. Plenty of options. Probably not as good as Mayne, but you don't keep someone around just for their goal kicking. I'll miss Isaako because he has had a career revival on the peninsula, but he's not exactly irreplaceable.

    Round 4: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    The Dolphins had enough chances to win this game comfortably. They had 53% possession, 58% territory and 2100+ running metres. You usually don't lose when putting up these sort of numbers. Unfortunately, execution and a high error count severely let them down. Give the Broncos credit. They...

    Round 4: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    Another chapter tonight concerning the Battle of Brisbane. It has been a one sided matchup thus far (5-1 Broncos), but that will change in the coming years. The Broncos finally woke up during the second half v Melbourne, but they are still a side with some deficiencies and not helped by the...

    Round 4: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    I have found that Kayo doesn't work anywhere outside Australia. It is a useless app. We always subscribe to NRL.com when overseas.

    Round 4: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    14-0 at HT and it could easily have been 30, such was the domination. Second half, they held onto the ball and were boosted by a couple of penalties and six agains and got on a roll. Melbourne threw everything at them, but were unable to score. The Broncos don't worry me. If the Dolphins are on...

    Round 3: Dolphins vs Sharks

    lol, Flegs, Molo and Donga will walk straight back in when available. If it were up to you, you'd still have SOS playing at HB and Big Val at FB.

    Round 3: Dolphins vs Sharks

    Molo will definitely be back. Donga and Flegs should be as well, but not guaranteed. I think JMK is a couple weeks away yet. It'll be Keeley, Schneider and Su'a dropped from the 19 man squad and the possibility of Kaufusi or Stone riding the pine without getting a run. That's a tough choice...

    Round 3: Dolphins vs Sharks

    It was soon enough. Cronulla are a half decent team and tough to beat at home. I liked a lot of things the Dolphins did tonight. This team is going places.

    Round 3: Dolphins vs Sharks

    3 Knowles 2 Katoa 1 Herbie A damn good performance considering their two previous outings. Our smaller pack bashed the shit out of them and the Dolphins turned a close game into a blow out. If they can maintain this level of play, they will be very hard to beat. The looming returns of Molo...

    Round 3: Dolphins vs Sharks

    Cronulla are nothing special, but it will take a 30% improvement on last week to topple them on their home turf. The Dolphins are missing four key middle forwards (what else is new) and that could be the difference today. But, I'm tipping a good performance by the boys in red and they could...

    Molo not back till Round 4.

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    They won't do that. I thought Plath did a credible job, especially defensively. 38 tackles (0 missed) is outstanding for someone who hasn't played in 10 months. Schneider is a worry, though, but he isn't a natural #9 anyways. Hopefully, Donga is back on Saturday.

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    3 Hammer- 314m, T, LB, LBA. 2 Finefeuiaki- 215m, T, LB, TA, 34 Tck. 1 Gilbert- 134m, 43 Tck (0 missed). Plenty of work still to be done, but I'll take the two points in a game where they looked dead and buried. The Flegs injury is a major concern. Cobbo, Plath, Stone and Knik also had good...

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    Both teams will be looking to hit back after pathetic performances last weekend. The Dolphins only lost by ten points, but that severely flattered them as 41% possession and 31% territory = an awful game. Stone and Plath are big INS despite their lack of match fitness. They will hopefully...

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    Your mate is bullshitting you. He has done nil contract training since his injury and there are questions whether his shoulder has healed at all. The prognosis is that he'll be back by June. That might be wishful thinking.
