As the commentators keep saying, "I know it's just a trial" but seriously, Woolf really has the Dolphins up for it while Payton and the Cowboys....... He might be the first coach sacked.

Nonu is very impressive but the Dolphins outside backs, possibly except for fullback, are stacked for the next few years.

Just a trial but the boys looked real good. Haven’t been following any lower grade games so was awesome to see the young guys playing well. Would love to see Josh Allen play some first grade he looks absolutely mental and I’m here for it

I thought Walsh did well. Waqa
When he came on. Pretty much all the forwards killed it.


SoS was good. He needs to stop overplaying some times. Like the kick in the second tackle with no one else knowing. He failed to
Comnext a couple of times passing behind the play. However, he controlled the game and did very well. LJ on the wing was great as well

A good thing is according to the predicted NRL round 1 teams Dolphins only had Averillo (even though I have Donoghue) and Cowboys had 3 out there in the predicted round 1 top 17. Most predicted 1-17 on all the websites are the same bar maybe 1-2 positions. So that is a very good effort by the Dolphins. Cowboys had Hess, O'Donnell and Lawton in the forwards and the young Dolphins kids steamrolled them.

Sure was. I'm telling you all once Donga gets a shot in the 17 this year he won't lose his position like Bostock and Plath last year.

I was happy with Averillo and the front row rotation.

All these websites that have Rasmussen as a 26yo winger need to fix up their profile pages now they all got confused with another Rasmussen from years ago.

Dolphins have two spots left in their roster in Top 30 and Development. Nonu is already on an Academy deal (glorified train & trial contract) and Allen will go on the same getting his train & trial deal push way beyond the trials. If Woolf needs to use them before Round 11 they will get promoted to Development. This keeps the salary cap free as train & trial payments don't count to the cap and the balance of difference made up with their QCup deals.

Nonu should spend the year in the lower grades.

Read what I said you agreed with me without wanting to agree with me

Oh let me add since you're desperate to disagree. If you're good enough you're old enough.
