Round 22: Dolphins v NZ Warriors

[mr_c]

Peter Gough match fixed the last game between the two clubs.

Dolphins now back into the 8 following the Bulldogs massacre of Manly.

Had Belinda Sharpe not being so biased towards Nichooooooo Dolphins would be in 7th.

Match fixed 🤣 ffs now I heard if all

Yes referees & bunkers do fix games

Gough performance in Warriors v Dolphins gifted the Wahs a 16-0 lead. The knock on & off side led to the Warriors second try.

It’s the only loss Dolphins had where they didn’t entirely lose it and had it lost for them instead.

Wayde Egan suffered a Category 1 concussion and won't be available for this game. He, along with Metcalf and Barnett are massive losses for this quickly sinking squad.

If the Dolphins are serious about a playoff berth this year, then they'll easily dispose of a very vulnerable NZ side. The Warriors won't finish top 4. Penrith will eventually grab that spot.

I'm banking on a Dolphin victory on Friday. They'll need to find two more victories after that. They'll beat the GC and they will shit all over the Broncos. Playoff bound!!! Easier said than done, but their superior +/- is going to prove advantageous

I think Madge has done well to get that squad to 10-8. They have zero depth and a plethora of players who are inconsistent. Haas and Carrigan are terrific players, but that's where it ends. Hunt and ARey are well past their prime and the likes of Walsh, Staggs and Mam are terribly hot and cold. The likes of Riki, Piakura and Gosiewski are barely first grade standard.

The media build them up as well and that fools people (even the players) into thinking that they are something special. They're not. They'll sneak into the finals, but nothing else. The Dolphins will be dominating them in the years to come.

I don't follow them closely but a lot of talk in the media about them having "a soft underbelly". I think it's a code word for the forwards are soft. Haas certainly isn't but other than that, makes sense.

Broncos and Storm are two teams if you can apply some pressure too they can show a lot of softness and weakness about them.

As a Bulldogs fan I only fear 3 teams with the way they play and they sit in 5th, 6th and 8th positions.

Broncos could do with a hardhead like Tom Gilbert. He might be superflous to our needs as well with Plath and Donoghue. But we'll drive a VERY hard bargain. Thing is, apart from Haas, who would we want from them?

I like Willison. He's a young big bopper who would be handy off the bench. I like Mariner as well. Speed to burn and he would thrive under Woolfy. I think the Dolphins tried to sign both of these guys, but they made the foolish decision of staying put. Mariner was willing to break his contract in order to defect to the peninsula. But, the Broncos shut that down pretty quickly.

I hope Dolphins make a play for Haas if anything force Broncos to outlay 1.3 plus.

Dolphins have some fine outside backs coming through did you see how Nonu went in QCup yesterday?

 

[mr_c]

He won't go

I only watched part of the game last night. I seen Fuller produce a LB and TA.

 

[mr_c]

sounds like mark also back n fin n kodi not to far away

Fuller went well played the full 80.

The try LJ scored was just wow.

 

[257Matt]

Joel Gould from AAP just posted an article about likely returns this week it's on other platforms.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

He won't go

If you're talking about Gilbert, I'm not so sure. We have 3 fighting for that position. And the injury prone one in that 3 way battle is Gilbert. He needs a big year next year, and he is good enough to do it. However, if he has time off once again, he won't be a Dolphin much long after that.

I am not as confident as you.

Any vid of it?

9Now covered the game and it’s free app for all Australian residents. I watched it via 9Now on my TV yesterday before the 4pm NRL game.

LJ try came around 55th minute.

The Rise of the Dolphins also available on 9Now.

Willison is good but with Saifiti, Frank Molo and Flegler fit, I think we need a budget prop like Kerr or a young prop, yet to prove himself like like Tawha or Hola.

Mariner also a good player but how good has Isaako been this year? And he's not replacing Bostock if he comes back next year near as good as he was this year.
