DOLPHINS​


Last premiership: Never (Entered competition 2023, three years)​

Last grand final appearance: Never​

Premiership window (analysis)

Carayannis: 1-3 years
I have some optimism surrounding the Dolphins in the next couple of seasons. We saw great resolve from them when essentially a starting forward pack was sidelined. Isaiya Katoa is no where near his best but is already tracking to be elite. Love what they are doing.

Riccio: 1-3 years
What about how far they punched above their weight this season amid a massive injury toll in their pack. With a healthy side and Isaiya Katoa pulling the strings, anything is possible.

Read: 1-3 years
Isaiya Katoa is the best young half in the comp. Their forward pack is class - they had no Gilbert or Flegler and they could be back. They’re a good team, when they turn it on, they play such good footy. We could see a Broncos-Dolphins grand final.

We are getting some serious attention now.

Off season buys are pretty much irrelevant. Just need to the squad to remain relatively healthy. On GF day for example, even though Melbourne lost the centre early and Broncos lost Reynolds late, at the start of the game Melbourne were only missing NAS from their best 17 and Broncos only Billy Walters (if he is in their best 17). Compare that to us!

I just drink and watch. It got me through the SoS era
Is the Dragons former 5/8 Junior Amone any good? They say he was very good in age restricted competition. Then he partnered Ben Hunt in the halves at the Dragons and struggled a bit. As every 5/8 does when paired with Ben Hunt at halfback. Then he was deregistered for being convicted for chasing a tradie off a roof with a hammer. Now he is apparently available again and only 23.

We don't need a halfback, unless he's a QLD Cup backup, for a long time.

6 is the only position we don't have sorted out long term. Kodi has been good but not getting younger. Coach obviously disagrees with me that Averillo has the game to be a good 5/8.

I'm sure Jake would play there if the coach told him that's what he wanted. Most players want to play in a spine position if they can. More money.
