Round 9: Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters

[Gary]

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.

👏👏👏👍

Where are the updated teams?

Dolphins posted it on their socials this morning that Fus and Donga failed to recover in time

KBrom and SOS are now in the 17.

KBrom and SOS are now in the 17.

Both their days as NRL players are long gone.

If O'Sullivan had a different surname he wouldn't be near NRL absolutely nice guy but NRL is about winning results not nice people.

SOS has never been a regular on any team. Injuries have played a part in that, but so has the fact that he just isn't good enough to be a #1 HB on any team. A good club man and a depth option (when options are slim) and nothing more.

Joel Gould from AAP and is a reporter for all things Dolphins & Titans has said Woolf confirmed Keeley not Bromwich into the 17.

I made 3 predictions before season started
Donoghoe will be in the 17 if available - tick
Fazing out of old players will slowly happen - it has already with Bromwich - tick
Once Keeley gets a game in the 17 he'll stay there - fingers crossed I like Keeley

No.2 was obvious and No.3 is wrong. He played in round 2 or 3. Pretty badly. Got dropped again.

I'm not counting that because I said once he gets his chance during the season. I expected him to start with Norths he played those two games without a pre-season, trial game or QCup game as Round 1 was washed out. Woolf said the plan was to bring Keeley back via the lower grades. But it's okay to bag out Keeley too.

Woolf: They're as challenging as anyone in the comp

Dolphins Coach Kristian Woolf says the Roosters are as challenging as any other team in the competition as his side prepares to face them in Magic Round.

In round 2 or 3 is during the season. I think it was round 2 and 3. But I was with you on that. I thought he'd be much better than he has been so far. Might be one of those types who is a QLD Cup specialist but finds the step up to NRL a step too far.

Hi, all. Sorry for trespassing - I'm a regular over at the Chookpen and just thought I'd come over and see how confident you all are heading into tomorrow.

I have to say, the Dolphins have been good to watch most of the year and are certainly capable of playing some terrific footy (I'm still thankful for you guys beating the Storm, after I put about $40 on it).

From what I've heard Kaufusi, Plath and Saifiti are all out. Certainly some relevant names there, which probably makes me lean toward the Chooks. We just haven't been able to put together two good games this year, though.

Nat Butcher, Sam Walker, Brandon Smith and Lindsay Collins are the main blokes we're missing. Since Sam has been out for quite a well, we're pretty well-adjusted to playing without him. The rest are fairly coverable.

Anyway, wish you fellas luck and hope it's a good game. The backline match-ups should be stellar. Certainly glad to play early in the week, instead of after the field has been used non-stop for several days.

Hard to say. I'm somewhat confident but Roosters are a bit like us. Never know what you are going to get. After the stupidly bad second half last week where they made a break right from the kick off, I think Woolf is going to have them fired up not to do that again.

Good luck to your team, too. Don't steal the towels in the hotel room please.

I know you don't like Keeley, I know you despite & hate me, so you want Keeley to fail it's quite funny.

The bloke didn't have a pre-season, didn't play in the trials and was thrown in because of injuries and other factors I was prepared to make my prediction thinking he would start the season with Norths, play some games for Norths and get called in around about now.

Lets see if Keeley goes well unlike others I hope he has the game of his life tomorrow and he plays too good to be retained like what Kerr done so a few weeks ago and Donoghoe until his injury had been going so well he's been an auto pick and will waltz back into the 17 as soon as he's available.

WTF are you talking about? I don't hate Keeley at all. I was predicting he'd be in the 17 all off season. And I most certainly don't hate someone I only know as an anonymous forum user.

It wasn't just him talking about "the Bennett Curse" but finally and thankfully everyone seems to have stopped.
