Isaako probably won't get an offer. Bostock and Naufahu as the long-term wingers. Assuming Cobbo goes to Perth as expected. If Cobbo stays........ I don't know. There is also Nonu.

Most players to have played the game only get a debut because someone else is injured. Sport is about taking your opportunities and once you do you seal the position. With the way the game has changed with HIA's going to be even more scrutinised after the Tonga coaching staff fiasco players who can cover multiple roles becomes more important. Max Plath in 2024 got his chance due to injuries and made it count and last year Kurt Donoghoe nailed a starting position 12 months ahead of planned and will be in the 17 each and every week unless he's suspended, injured or being part of the NSW State of Origin squad as Dolphins don't have a bye before any of the Origin's next year. He won't be with the Capras put it that way.

There's an article about Isaako contract situation posted last night on 3 different Dolphins platforms I won't post here as I've been told articles aren't welcome. I'm happy to inbox you the link. I'm not sure what will happen with Isaako beyond 2026 if I'm Perth Bears I'm throwing everything at him he's durable and he turns 4 into 6.

Dolphins have 29 of their Top 30 spots filled 3 of those are yet to make their NRL debuts and Naufahu recently turned 20. All 6 of their development players are aged between 18-21 and they've got a beverage of players on Academy deals where they their training deals with the NRL squad vary depending on each individual deal most of them is around 20 weeks. Naufahu is only the beginning of the pathways progression into the NRL squad. Dolphins don't have journeyman first graders on DEV deals (clubs like Newcastle & Bulldogs do) and they no longer have players in mid 20's either they did last year.

It's all over various Dolphins pages so people can find there we can't upset the cult of this page (not referring to you).

Too bad this. I really wanted to him an entire off season and then at least the trials as a 5/8 but I'm sure Woolf knows his game better than me.

DOLPHINS STAR LINKED WITH IMMEDIATE EXIT​

Dolphins star Jake Averillo has reportedly been linked with an immediate switch to the English Super League amid a logjam of outside backs at the club.

Love Rugby League reported several Super League clubs are targeting Averillo for a move north as early as next season.

The 25-year-old is off-contract in 2026, which will be his third season at the Dolphins since switching from the Bulldogs in 2024.

Averillo has scored 53 tries and 39 goals in 125 NRL games since his debut in 2020, including 47 games for the Dolphins over the last two seasons.

However, the arrival of Selwyn Cobbo could see Averillo struggle to get a starting spot next season, with Herbie Farnworth, Jamayne Isaako and Jack Bostock all vying for spots in the backline.

Averillo can also play fullback and in the halves, but those spots are filled by Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Kodi Nikorima, while George Williams is set to join the club in 2027.

The Dolphins also have youngsters Tevita Naufahu and LJ Nonu in their system for 2026, which means Averillo might struggle to make the starting side if everyone is fit.

It is understood Averillo’s lack of job security in the top grade could well see him ask for a release from the final year of his deal.
