Round 9: Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Dolphins have a bigger fan-base than Canterbury.

And more money. They rely on a league club hand out. The leagues club is in an area that it can easily prey on pokie goers. If that ended, they would be the next illawarra steelers

Not death riding highlighting concerns and weaknesses. Saifiti and Plath been 2 of the Dolphins 3 best this year.

Sua hasn't been sighted since the signing swap with Teague.

Dolphins have no room for error they don't have as big a fanbase as they claim to have. Many fans are like me who like them as a no.2 side or they've got casual fans who aren't completely locked in.

lol i told you weeks ago sua wont be in till he gets his knee cleared

team lacks nothing , bar bad run of injurys which lead us to us players outside of the core 17


kurt aint a reason why we went poor ffs one or two ok games dont make him core player with sua morgan and probbaly others coming in expect 26 onwards to fire

I think he looks at our club as a new club. We were founded in the 40's, and in the brisbane comp not long after that. Its not like we have just been put in.

Perth will be the Bears. Its a trend for the NRL, putting in existing teams to ensure they stand up.

One thing I can guarantee a Sydney team will go long before any Brisbane one does.

You’ll never guess which NRL club is performing best – and worst – off the field

An NRL document has ranked the financial performance of every club. There are some big surprises – at the top and bottom of the ladder – in this revenue reveal.

Took me 5 mins.

Now, I don't give a flying fuck about the Bulldogs. However, The Dolphins are not only in good shape, they could very well be the benchmark for an NRL club model.

I think he was referring to the first grade team, not the position of the club in the competition because that would be laughably stupid. Not only are we one of the most supported clubs, we are one of the richest.

To me a lot of what I read from him are generalizations and sweeping statements without fact. The tone of the post I replied to suggests what you said but goes deeper when you take it into context and relate it to every other post he has put on here.

So, whilst I do agree with your post, I think he goes further with his undertone. I'd suggest that's why equalizer replied in the manner he did. And why I did the same.

When I support, I am all in. Fucking 2nd team? I don't understand the meaning of such a thing, for mine anyone that says they have a second team is strange (sorry if I offend anyone, it's not intended that way, you do you). And I am not going to sit here and allow anyone to take a pot shot at the team I support, even if its covert, I'll call you out, I don't fucking suffer fools lightly. However, if we do something shithouse, and you highlight it with facts, I won't shy away from admitting we were wrong. In fact, were the Dolphins to be involved in salary cap cheating, or Coff Harbour scenarios, I wouldn't stand for it.

Dolphins might be his second team.

Dolphins’ burning question: ​

Can Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and the Dolphins find some consistency?

The Dolphins’ 40-28 loss to the Raiders was a microcosm of their inconsistent season and was mirrored by the performance of their fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow. The Dolphins led 28-10 and Tabuai-Fidow had a try and a try assist in the first half, but they then lost the second half 30-0.

Tabuai-Fidow wasn’t the only Dolphins player to go missing in the second half, but he has been hot and cold this season, scoring a hat-trick one week, only to be barely sighted the next.

It is up to the Dolphins to unleash their best attacking weapon against the Roosters and Tabuai-Fidow needs to relish the challenge as he does at Origin level and take it to Tedesco and the Roosters, in order to keep the Dolphins in touch with the top eight.

Fair comment though I'd definitely say Herbie is our best attacking weapon.

That is weird. Is Lemuelu not match fit or something? He should be playing 80min.

Maybe Woolf doesn't think Lemuelu has 80 in him and he rather someone like Lemuelu finish the game. They need at least a good 60 from him this weekend.

Dolphins might be his second team.

I only follow one sport used to be two sports but other than the Australian Test team I don't have any interest or passion for the current version of Cricket.

The person who attacked me follows another sporting team well ahead of the Dolphins.

I've explained to you and many others that I've followed Redcliffe in the QCup since the mid to late 1990's and been banging on about Queensland having way more than just the Broncos in the SEQ/SQ region. Redcliffe should have had a team decades ago in the NRL and it's always been wrong that Greater Brisbane wasn't regarded the tribal region that Sydney is considering Brisbane is the second largest Rugby League area in the world by some distance too. Newcastle would be third and it's like a 5th of Brisbane's size.

However the Dolphins don't have any room for failure at the current moment because a lot of their fans are mostly casuals not rusted on they're fans of EPL clubs, they used to be fans of other NRL clubs, fans of the QCup and just casual observers. We see this in the social media where Dolphins don't have the reach or reaction base that other clubs do aside from Titans who are completely soulless, lacking identity and have zero culture. Right now the rusted on Dolphins fans who'll end up being long-time fans, podcasters & the like are still a generation away.

Think it's more where us his forward impact coming from us why he's on bench we had none last week

Obviously not but I think it's a mistake. Bennett had him playing for 80min and all the best backrowers play 80min.

Don't disagree with you there. He's now had 4 games back from his second injury setback so he should be match fit.

Keeley is now pumping 80min games for Norths in the QCup although the way the draw is designed by Ben Ikin there's very little week to week football with all the byes and weeks off for teams.

Kaufusi and Donga confirmed out for tomorrow. Many have their wish again to see Donoghoe not in the 17.

Injury recovery is a big concern.
