What can we say about how big this game will be? If we beat them, will we be be QLDs No.1 ranked team? Almost back at full strength now. If Kurt D is back this week, that will only leave JMK and Bostock. How long has it been since we were traveling that well with injuries?

Anyway, we have nothing to lose really. 2 and 1 considering we were without our two best hookers is a really good start.
 
going be intresting no haas for broncos as he was doing the damage to us in both games last season
 
Looked better against the Sharks. If that improvement continues, we could lap these dudes.

Maguire, all the head office dramas. They are looking like a shit stain of a club.

I didn't see the Broncos-Melbourne game but I presume Broncos played pretty well.

14-0 at HT and it could easily have been 30, such was the domination. Second half, they held onto the ball and were boosted by a couple of penalties and six agains and got on a roll. Melbourne threw everything at them, but were unable to score. The Broncos don't worry me. If the Dolphins are on their game, they will make short work of them.

We are missing our 2 first choice hookers but they are missing their best player so I guess it kind of evens out. Though they have a lot of prop depth while we don't have any depth for hooker. Though I think every roster would struggle without it's 2 first choice hookers. How many hookers can a team carry in the top 30?

would want least 3 4 at pinch({ 2 been qld cup level players ) we got kodi and brad that can too ideally we do need another full time hooker not just back up ones as wouldnt think jmk has to much longer n dont see what we got going into fulltime hooker roles

We have 2 specialists but coach deems one not ready for NRL just yet. And 3 makeshift hookers. One of those is quite good. The other 2 are pretty average hookers though one of the two is a very good middle forward.

And there lies my prob
If hes not ready in woolfs eyes that leaves one specialist we cant simpliy carry back up hookers we need someone as good n as ready as jmk but younger as we loose him. For most of season going be hard replacing players in other areas

Kurt Donoghoe and Max Plath are very good and adaptable players. The hamstring issues in the pre-season for Donoghoe came at the wrong time as he's been very injury free until now after all the injuries with JMK.

When both Donoghoe and Plath are available Kristian Woolf has said very openly and quoted that both will be in the 17 and two of the first players picked in any Dolphins team.

The best dummy half in Cup this season been Jordan Plath by many miles.
