Not back for round 1?

I think they are hopeful of that but I haven't heard anything of late.

 

[257Matt]

Have to disagree with this. He's been good in Cup. Being selected all over the field hasn't helped. He should be fullback or 5/8 from round 1 for Capras and be putting pressure on Hammer, Kodi, Averillo. Not suggesting he's going to replace any of them but might force one of them to move positions.

Problem is unless something goes wrong this weekend Donoghue won't be in the QCup in Round 1 he will be in the NRL 17.

I agree with this.

Late Dolphins change. Averillo to start at 5/8, Bostock centre and Tupou wing. Nikorima on the bench.

Hasler has made something like 5 or 6 changes to the starting side.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Stupid penalty by Donga.

They go down and score

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Can’t give away soft penalties, whilst we have them in their half

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Another stupid penalty

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Donga is not a hooker, he doesn’t threaten the run enough, and Averillo after that pass to Herbie will go back to centre

Gold Coast were always going to be fired up after last week. May as well say bye to winning the pre season challenge.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Oh dear. Another soft drop ball. They should have scored from it. Donga again with the error

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Forward out of dummy half. Too many errors

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Taken Kerr 2 mins to make a mistake. And a really poor one

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Finally a run from dummy half and we get a peno

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Another lost ball. They score next set

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Kodi at 6 has made a difference

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Only a trial. However, the unforced errors were out of control. They’ll want to stamp that out before the season starts. Because, if they don’t, we will be nowhere near the finals.

Titans are al over us. They will beat plenty of teams this year but Dolphins still should be playing better.

We let them be with all our drop ball and, Cheap penalties.

Few points

Averillo won’t be 5/8th. Kodi will.

Donga isn’t a 9. If he wants to be anywhere near first grade, he has to learn to stop the errors and penalties.

Kerr is not a first grader.

Bostock isn’t a Center.

 

[Blockade]

The forwards got trampled on again. That will still be a major issue with this club. Bromwich looks totally unfit. What happened to Saifiti? He had a short, uninspiring stint and wasn't spotted again.
