Round 19 vs South Sydney.

[Blockade]

As expected, the Hammer and Felise are unavailable due to SOO. Add to that list, JMK, Donoghoe, SOS, Harry Graham, Flegler and Gilbert. The cupboard is pretty bare in a match which is a definite must win.

I thought Felise would get dropped.

Fortunately Souths will be without Mitchell and Murray so we have a chance.

They still have Wighton, Walker, Arrow, Cook, Koloamatangi. Our big names consist of Herbie and Jesse Bromwich 5 years ago and ........... maybe in a couple of years Katoa will be a big name. If you think about it, we have done really well to be where we are even though it's looking pretty grim for the rest of the year.

We have the major thing, Bennett. oh wait.......... but so do they.

Wayne is feeling the heat over his behavior. Now he is denying he had anything to do with Cook leaving even though Cook confirmed at the time he had a long conversation with Wayne about it. I know he isn't doing anything wrong if he is doing it in his own time but seriously, it's a really bad look. If we crash out of contention with a couple of rounds left, I wonder if Wolff will take over early.

Dolpins v South Sydney Rabbitohs​

Round 17 Dolphins team: 21. Trai Fuller 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Jake Averillo 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Tesi Niu 6. Kodi Nikorima 7. Isaiya Katoa 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 14. Felise Kaufusi 11. Connelly Lemuelu 12. Euan Aitken 13. Max Plath 10. Kenneath Bromwich 15. Mark Nicholls 17. Tevita Pangai Junior 20. Kurt Donoghue 18. Josh Kerr

Team Tips: Hooker Jeremy Marshall-King suffered a fractured foot last time out against the Dragons and will be unavailable until at least Round 25. Post-game, Dolphins coach Wayne Bennett confirmed Max Plath will likely play hooker in Marshall-King’s absence, opening the door for either Kenny Bromwich or Ray Stone to fill in at lock. Elsewhere, Trai Fuller will remain at fullback with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow in Origin camp, while Felise Kaufusi will also be out due to Origin camp, with Mark Nicholls or Tevita Pangai Junior likely taking his place in the front row. Jack Bostock is also due back from a head knock and will displace Tesi Niu on the wing.

Isn't this a big problem? He's still employed as our head coach. Publicly, according to Souths players and officials, he's more concerned about coaching them.

Though second paragraph is true. I agree. Too many injuries to key personnel. Any team would struggle in such a situation. But that doesn't excuse Wayne's behavior.

I think the board has a problem. Why Wayne came out just now and denied what Cook stated publicly a few weeks ago.

No need to be defensive over it. I agree the media is exaggerating. My point is Wayne shouldn't be coaching Souths at all until he is officially done coaching us.

Not saying he's broken any rules. On what grounds would the club sack him or integrity unit investigate? I think the club has told him to cut it out and Wayne has done that.

But he's not doing his job as well as he should be, IMO. As thrashing Dragons gave us or losses to Newcastle and Canberra should make clear.

So none of Wayne's coaching achievements really mean anything because at the end of the day, it was all the players.

Ok. I don't want to argue about this anymore. Seems club bosses have told Wayne to pull his head in and Wayne has done that. So let's move on.

When did they tell him to pull his head in ? You’ve just made that up
