Round 12- Dolphins v NZ Warriors

[Dolph]

This is going to be a hard game. They'll have Johnson back probably fully fit. RTS will probably be back as well. Egan might be out though whoever filled in againt Penrith obviously did ok.

Shaun Johnson (pectoral) and centres Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (hamstring) and Rocco Berry (hand) remain sidelined.

---

Can only beat who they put in front of us. But I think we will have to play much better than we did against the Tigers.

Agreed. Herbie was unusually waste against the tigers. Seemed to love giving it to the touch judge.

We should be better. Wayne won’t let them play 2 bad ones in a row

Might have been distracted with all the talk about Wayne going to Souths.

 

[Josh]

Strange we are last game of the round 2 weeks in a row.

Dolphins team:​

1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow
2. Jamayne Isaako
3. Jake Averillo
4. Herbie Farnworth
5. Jack Bostock
6. Kodi Nikorima
7. Isaiya Katoa
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Jeremy Marshall-King
10. Mark Nicholls
11. Felise Kaufusi
12. Euan Aitken
13. Max Plath
14. Josh Kerr
15. Kenny Bromwich
16. Ray Stone
17. Connelly Lemuelu
18. Oryn Keeley
19. Sean O’Sullivan
20. Jarrod Wallace
21. Kurt Donoghoe
22. Trai Fuller

Looks like Wayne made his mind up about the starting backrowers. I really like the idea of Fuller on the bench but oh well, seems Wayne doesn't agree.

why would you put him on the benc wen only role he plays is fullback

 

[Phins Phan]

Based on recent weeks we should expect to see Lemuelu start in second row with Kaufusi going to prop and Nicholls back to the bench. Not sure why Wayne keeps naming the team this way but I do like Nicholls starting on the bench and coming on for Jesse - they're both good leaders and play similar roles so we really lose nothing after 20 minutes.
I do worry a little about the four-forward bench, though. It became the standard a few years ago but the more stringent HIA rules now make it a real risk. I suppose Aitken can cover centre if an outside back or Hammer takes a knock, but we're really stuck if we lose one of the halves

Bromwich going off for Nicholls to come on is a good, like for like, rotation for sure. Then again, Kafusi did pretty well in the middle as well.

Lots of options even without Flegler.

I don't believe that thing with AFB is due to "missing the team song" for a minute. I think he's Matt Lodge 2.0. Very good prop but teammates can't stand him. This bloke was cut by the Dragons very early in his career because he plead guilty to beating his GF.

• Dolphins by 2 (they will be better, more united without AFB)
• MoT = Herbie
• First try = Herbie

Dolphins by 8

Motm: Katoa

1st try: Hammer

I’ll keep going till I get it.

Warriors facing an injury crisis.

• Dolphins by 20
• MoM - Herbie
• First try - Bostock

 

[Blockade]

Dolphins by 12
FTS- Averillo
MOTM- JMK.

Who knows what will happen after the Gold Coast Broncos game but early signs are this will be a thrashing.

 

[Equaliser]

Katoa did a lot of work on his kicking game over the off season and its paid off.

Someone has changed bostocks batteries.

Nice to see Herbie firing after last week's shitshow
