    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...

    Round 9: Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters

    That (round 8 vs Canberra) was a huge disappointment. Not only disappointing but so strange. Like they didn't even try in the second half. Canberra player went straight through the line from the kick off to the second half! Anyway, this will be another hard game. There are no easy games in...

    Round 7: Dolphins vs Melbourne

    Hopefully Hughes is out though apparently he went off at halftime yesterday due to precaution only. Ray Stone will be available. You would think he'd come in for Kerr but is it wise? Maybe while Plath and Gilbert are fit, Woolf has to get used to not picking Stone. All 3 are natural locks...

    Round 5: Dolphins vs Gold Coast Titans

    At least Woolf has one forced change on his hands. Gilbert out. So will also need a new captain. I don't think there is any other choice but Herbie Farnworth. More to the point, what to do with Hammer? He has had 4 bad games in a row. He's trying to get involved but is it the halves not giving...

    Round 4: Battle for Brisbane vs Broncos

    On current form, this will be more of a massacre than a battle. I was leaning toward giving a few one last chance but then I thought why? What are they going to do differently than they've done over the first 3 rounds? Hammer might score a length of the field try and have everyone doing...

    Round 2: Dolphins vs Newcastle

    Too early to call this must win but to lose the first two games against who I think almost everyone would agree are two of the weaker teams, will be a massive problem.

    2025 Pack

    Just wondering about the pack for next year. Will it be: 8. Flegler 9. JMK 10. Kaufusi 11. Finefeuiaki 12. Lemuelu 13. Gilbert 14. Plath (give JMK a rest at hooker and Gilbert a rest at lock. So have to stagger their rest times) 15. Nicholls 16. Stone 17. Keeley (I'm going to back him to make...

    Round 25: Melbourne Storm vs Dolphins

    It doesn't get any easier. I wonder if Bellamy would do Wayne a solid and rest several players now they've got the minor premiership pretty much locked up. Even though they've had a bad year, no doubt Broncos have a lot of ability. Specially in the backs. Carrigan and Haas are their only good...

    Round 21: Dolphins v Gold Coast Titans

    Another super disappointing result. With 20min to go I thought the win was in the bag and only wanted them to get through without any more injuries. They did escape without any injuries but of the course we all know the result. It's not that disappointing if you give it hard thought. They rested...

    Round 6: Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos

    BRONCOS v DOLPHINS Friday, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Broncos: Reece Walsh is a chance to return from a facial fracture, which would push Tristan Sailor out of the team. Adam Reynolds will miss out due to a hamstring injury, with Jock Madden to come into the halves. Deine Mariner suffered a back...

    QLD Cup 2024

    Lets not forget about the QLD Cup stating this weekend also. I know they are calling it "Hostplus QLD Cup" now. Too much trouble. I'll continue to refer to it as QLD Cup. Capras Redcliffe Blake Moore Bob Tenza Cooper Marshall Jaylen Grey Connor Rothery Aaron Moore Jack Madden Ilami...

    Other Clubs in 2024

    I'd say based on the games so far, we are going to have to drastically up our game from the trials to have a decent chance of beating the top teams. And if Tom Turbo stays healthy, Manly are going to be right up there.

    Top 5 players, 2023

    I was going to make a video of the top 5 players in 2023. Anyone else want to nominate their top 5? I've ruled out the best two in the first half of the season, JMK and Gilbert due to the number of games they missed. Isaako Wallace Hammer Kafusi Lemuelu

    Round 27: Dolphins vs New Zealand Warriors

    Sean Johnson and a bunch of other Warriors being rested. We might win this game even though we are also badly depleted. Dolphins team: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow Jamayne Isaako Tesi Niu Euan Aitken Jack Bostock Kodi Nikorima Sean O’Sullivan Jesse Bromwich Harrison Graham Mark Nicholls...

    Round 24: Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters

    Team Tips: Valynce Te Whare could be in danger of losing his place after some defensive lapses against the Knights, but who replaces him is less clear with Euan Aitken sidelined with a knee injury. Anthony Milford was picked at five-eighth last week, but came off the bench, with Isaiya Katoa...

    Round 23: Dolphins vs Newcastle Knights

    Team Tips: Wayne Bennett pulled halfback Sean O’Sullivan from the field in place of Anthony Milford, who went on to score a double against the Bulldogs. O’Sullivan is unlikely to lose his place in the team while Euan Aitken suffered a knock to his knee but is a strong chance of taking the field...

    Round 20: Dolphins vs Penrith Panthers

    I'm not sure if Benny has any history with Ivan Cleary, as he does with about half the coaches in the competition:ROFLMAO: but I think Cleary won't rest Penriths Origin players as he did after game II. It's not a must win game as it was last round but frankly speaking, unless there is pretty...

    Promising Juniors

    In the first year with a whole new team assembled it's been hard to know what's what in regard to juniors coming though. We have development players: Harrison Graham (2023) Jack Bostock (2023) Jeremiah Simbiken (2024 CO 2025) Michael Roberts (2023) I know there have been big wraps in Roberts...
