Round 8: Dolphins vs Canberra

[257Matt]

I think it's just that he has now understood that if he is fit, Plath is the best lock we have but is a poor second rower. Gilbert in the other hand might be ok as a second rower. Jury is still out on that.

Gilbert is a beast he's just been out for 18 months. Gilbert can play lock or second row he's flexible in that regard.

He can but both he and Plath are best playing at #13.

The Dolphins have shocked the RL world with three improbable lop sided victories after starting a paltry 0-4. Another big test today. Canberra have a terrific group of forwards who are physical and tend to bash the opposition into submission. They can also implode as well. If the Dolphin backs are firing, plenty of points could be on offer.

Dolphins by 8
FTS- Hammer
MOTM- Gilbert.

Have to give credit where due. Rickey Stuart, the not weak gutted dog, is doing a good job with a young team down there and losing the first 4 choice hookers isn't idea for us but I still think we can upset them. After last week, why not?

• Dolphins by 2
• MoM = Katoa
• First try = Isaako (he's been surpassed by Bostock, even with Bostocks customary brain explosions, but today I think Isaako is going to show he's not done with being our best winger just yet.)

Ray Stone starting at hooker.

Makes sense. Keep SOS out of the opening exchanges. But not great. Don't expect him to run for many metres.

FTS = Bostock

What was Averillo doing? He just stopped. Hasn't he heard of playing to the whistle?

 

[Chris]

Just crusising now. Are we that good or are Canberra just having a really bad day?

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Well played so far

 

[Red]

First half standouts (I would nominate the entire team)

• Katoa is tormenting them.
• Saifiti
• Herbie
• Niko

Bennett is suffering the Dolphins curse.

Hopefully Saifiti's shoulder isn't too bad. He did say that "his shoulder is fucked" after scoring that try. He ran for 118 mtrs. A monstrous performance. Finefeuiaki (109) has also been tormenting them on that R edge. The Dolphins are lethal today. It could be a big scoreline if the trend continues.
