    Round 8: Dolphins vs NZ Warriors

    Not sure how long Donoghue is out for but if he's still out, I presume it'll be the same 17. Much improved performance but need to get a few wins fast. Warriors are currently sitting second on the table so it doesn't really get more difficult than last week and this week.

    Round 7: Dolphins v Penrith Panthers

    Just our luck to play them after they lose. Then again, it'll be a good test for us and a good test for our DEFENCE there coach. Remember the game is about attack and defence. I imagine the team will be the same but hopefully Kurt D starts at No.9. Then what to do about Plath or Knowles starting...

    Round 5: Dolphins vs Manly

    We need to not only win but put a decent score on this rabble. The one thing they have, speed, is something we can match them on. Surely Kurt D will be back and hopefully JMK isn't far away. Though this is a Thursday game so JMK won't be back just yet. Maybe next week. Other than Kurt D coming...

    Round 4: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    What can we say about how big this game will be? If we beat them, will we be be QLDs No.1 ranked team? Almost back at full strength now. If Kurt D is back this week, that will only leave JMK and Bostock. How long has it been since we were traveling that well with injuries? Anyway, we have...

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

    Once again, last game of the round. Both teams will be fired up after embarrassing first round. Good news for us is that Saifiti, Donoghue and Plath are all set for a return. I would guess the first of those will be in QLD Cup the first week. Plath of course was out for a long time but came back...

    Round 1: Dolphins vs South Sydney

    This is a game that will certainly test how much the defence has improved. Predicted Rd 1 Dolphins Team: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow Jamayne Isaako Selwyn Cobbo Herbie Farnworth Tevita Naufahu Kodi Nikorima Isaiya Katoa Daniel Saifiti Kurt Donoghoe Tom Flegler Tom Gilbert Connelly Lemuelu...

    Final Round: Dolphins vs Canberra

    Apparently Canberra are going to do a Penrith and basically go with a reserve grade team. We will get Herbie back as well. Beating them by a wide margin, or enough which would be 16 points right now. But if Roosters beat Souths on Friday before our game on Sunday, it's going to be for nothing...

    Round 26 vs Titans

    Judging from the last game, the worst I've seen, I can't tip us to win this with any confidence. But if Melbourne (without Harry Grant) beat Roosters (without Sam Walker) on Friday, we will be playing for a top 8 spot on Sunday. The following week is Canberra. If Melbourne beat Broncos on...

    Round 24 vs Brisbane Broncos

    Talk about coming back down to earth with a thud. It looked like they just gave up. Hammer had a shocker and Niko had his worst game I can remember him playing. Good riddance to Josh Kerr. With so many injuries I doubt there will be any unforced changes though if it it were me, I'd be giving...

    Round 23 vs Sydney Roosters

    I think after a bad year last year, they've had a remarkably good year with injuries. So now we'll be without Herbie and probably Kaufusi (again!) I wonder if Nonu is going to debut. He was 18th man so you'd have to think he will. I presume Hola will come in for Kaufusi and I think Kaufusi may...

    Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

    Warriors also having some issues with injuries. Of course not close to as many as we have out but losing their halfback who was in very good form is a very big out. On the Dolphins front, Nicholls will certainly be back and hopefully Kaufusi as well. Unless Flegler makes a surprise return, I...

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    Nice to get the bye but not a good time to play Cronulla who have no one bothering the Origin teams and will be fired up after copping plenty of criticism. Now we have to replace Kodi as well. I think Donoghue will play 5/8 but then who is going to play lock? Or will Woolf go with SOS at 5/8? I...

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    Another hard game given at least 5 of our first string forward pack will be out. Hopefully Kerr and Kenny B are back. Bostock gone now as well. Incredibly unlucky. I guess Feagai will come straight in for Bostock. Not sure how Fuller has been going in Cup but bringing him back and putting Hammer...

    Round 16 v Newcastle Knights

    More woes for the forward pack with Kaufusi suspended for a couple of weeks. But it's only against Newcastle. Should be able to get away with it and then head into the bye. I have no idea who will come in for Kaufusi. It'll have to be a development player, won't it?

    Round 15: Dolphins vs North QLD

    After some adversity earlier in the year, things are really looking us for us now. There will never be a better time to beat North QLD who will be without 2 of their spine and Nanai. A win should entrench us in the top 8 and then onto bigger and better things. If the forwards can hold their own...

    Round 14: Dolphins vs St. George Illawarra Dragons

    Bye for round 13 and then the very average Dragons with Saifiti and JMK surely back. If not, the club needs to inform the public what is really going on with them. Did JMK have his infected leg cut off? God knows what is going on with Saifiti's shoulder. There are no easy games in the NRL so no...

    Round 12: Dolphins v Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs

    Here is the one we have been waiting for. The all-conquering Bulldogs, fittest of the fit with the best centre since Reg Gasnier, the best coach since..... .I don't know. Best ever? The super administrator Phillip Ronald Gould and his unlimited supply of guaranteed profitable pubs (how...

    Round 11 vs New Zealand Warriors

    A huge game in the context of our season. Saifiti and JMK will be back. I'd say we are a very good chance. It probably won't be after this round but wouldn't it be something to go equal with the Broncos and then overtake? Given all the hype about them in the pre-season and the way our chances...

    Round 10: Dolphins vs Parramatta Eels

    With Moses in the team, Parramatta are far from easy beats. I thought they were the better team vs Cronulla. As for the Dolphins, I don't really know. Is Nicholls still first grade quality? He plays some good games and gets through a lot of work but seems to have lost a bit of speed. As is, no...
