Round 16 v Newcastle Knights

[257Matt]

Max King “2025” club form for Canterbury been exceptional and a cornerstone why they’re runaway top 2 this year. Tapine and Horse for Canberra up there too purely on 2025 club form.

One game Canterbury lost King didn’t play. He’s very valuable to them. Crichton, Mann and King their 3 most valuable players.

As for career wise it’s JWH 1 and Bromwich 2 of the last 15 years.

I've said more then once. This should be a dolphins only forum.

People with two teams aren't normal.

Jubilee Avenue. For the Dragons is a great example.

You're asking for trouble allowing anyone to post. And people like me just put them on ignore.

If Gary is going off, I support him.

I hear you. I think we can all agree not all his posts are bad. Some of his info from QLD Cup for example which I don't really follow at all these days. Plus if I banned him, it's very easy to just sign up again. Even IP bans don't really work for someone determined with the ease of using a vpn.

In my opinion it's best to just move his posts about Bulldogs to here:

Other NRL Clubs

dolphinspod.net

And for his comments death-riding the Dolphins and everyone involved except Kurt D, just ignore? Some of his criticism is true. He just goes way overboard with it. That's my opinion but I'm open to suggestions.

Did we says who the media , kikau is a coward who only has a go when they are on top. Watch his games ,

I watch two games a week closely Kikau does all the small effort players so well his desperation in the 1% players is exceptional

If only other players tonight had the attitude, effort and passion that Donoghoe showed they wouldn’t lose to a side who’s fans want the coach out at any cost.

A tough loss considering that they overcame a 12 pt deficit and even held the lead for a brief period there. Newcastle played well, but I thought the Dolphins looked a hell of a lot more dangerous. It just didn't happen tonight and they'll have to work out a way to beat the Knights if they ever want to enjoy overall success.

Another player added to the season ending injury list and like the others in this unfortunate category, he is a massive loss. These casualties will catch up soon if they haven't already. Time to regroup for next week against the most injury inflicted club in the comp. And like tonight, this will not be an easy contest.

Payne Haas is by far the best prop in the game this year. Has been for a while but AFB for example was right up there with him. This year his game has gone to another level and his closest opponents, which King isn't, have fallen away. Second best is probably Tyrell May.

Red I often post in there but people troll me in here

I was the only one posting about pathways squads, next group of players and the like no one cared and just trolled me on Bulldogs.

I post the pathways stuff and articles elsewhere where a better and more appreciative audience is.

One person on here didn’t even know who Tevita Naufahu was when I suggested he might come into the side and he’s actually in the top 30.

I personally haven't seen anyone troll you. I have only seen what very much looks like you trolling all of us. And a lot of good content too. I've never claimed you don't post good content. Just as I said about Bulldgos and way, way over the top criticism of the team, club and everyone in it expect Kurt D.

Terrell May is like Tolman was just a stats eater not effective.

Only Bromwich comes close to JWH of the last 15 years.

Haas really needs to take the follow me enforcer approach rather than chew up stats. He’s still no where near the Lazarus JWH levels people reckon he’s above they were cornerstone players. Bromwich was as important to the Storm as the big 3.

Flegler was one of his closest rivals....

Melbourne are showing tonight they’re far from contenders they don’t want to grind out a win just finesse their way. Souths are too battered to cash in the fact they’re 12-4 says everything about the character Bennett has installed into them and how fragile Melbourne are. It’s wide open and only two sides showing any consistency.

But games like tonight weren’t lost because of injuries it was lost due to attitude and mindset. Had the Dolphins won they probably go to 5th position and set themselves up for a real finals tilt.

Too many players had their heads in the clouds it’s wide open where it’s Canterbury, Canberra & who else?

Not sure what this has to do with the Dolphins or the game against Newcastle but I think Melbourne will get their A game in order in the second half of the season. As for No.2 Canberra are a good, young, well balanced team. NZ as well. We are as well if we can get some luck on the injury front but I'm afraid it might be too much this year. Flegler, Saifiti, Gilbert, Plath won't be back and now Bostock as well. I fear it's too much.

Penrith had all 5 of their origin players put today and still won very impressively. Warriors bar the win against Cronulla been winning off the back of refereeing decisions or other teams implosions.

Souths are coming back against Melbourne who made yet another basic error. There’s no flick switch it comes down to attitude and from within.

Good for Penrith. What's your point?

 

[257Matt]

Fuller should be fullback

 

[257Matt]

Warriors aren’t contenders

Funny today 3 teams came with a good attitude and 3 teams came expecting it would happen where effort wasn’t required.

Yeah I know dude.

Just so you know, I'm not having a go at you are any forum volunteer.

I have him and mr.c on ignore, so no skin off my neck.

My worry is that you get more people who are just trolling and then no one comes to the community anymore.

I get your point about the other teams section. He isn't here to talk Bulldogs, he is here because he is a lonely person with nothing else to do then piss you guys off. He then gets a hard on, and beats off to it.

Mate, he doesn't watch Qld cup, he reads the info on the internet, uses it to justify his knowledge and his existence here, then continues to piss everyone off.

The only reason I speak up about it is I want somewhere to talk Dolphins football. Once these guys piss people like Gary, Equaliser, etc off enough, and they stop posting, I'll be here with all the fuckwits on ignore talking to myself.

Guys put them on ignore.

Since Katoa cemented his spot over SOS, Mr C has been good.
