Nothing there really, to strike any fear in our heads. Thought Kenny B would follow his brother across. Bellyache must be getting worried seeing his forward stocks plummeting for 23...
Agreed but I dont think it is a realistic goal for Redcliffe to strike fear into top 4 teams.
Their aim should be to build a foundation, dont get the spoon, be competitive. 10-12th would be a great season.

I understand that their greatest rivals are the Braf, the Shat, and the Shart - although they usually wind up following through by pissing all over the latter.Red and White, I wonder is there a connection?
Founded in 1934 and is also referred to as Fotballaget Fart. Norway international players Thorstein Helstad and Kristin Bekkevold started their careers at Fart.

I reckon Bennett will be going after Cody Walker.
Bellamy won't mind losing the Bromwich boys and Kaufusi, they are getting towards the veteran class anyway, and Storm has had their best years. Although with a change of scene might still yield a couple of good years. Same reason Storm didn't fight to keep Finucane.
They'll still have Welch, Harry Grant, NAS if he overcomes his fear of needles, Kamikamica, and probably half a dozen junior Kangaroos or Kiwis about to reach NRL age.

Putting together enough of a squad for someone like Ponga to think 'hey, they aren't complete trash, I'll take their money'
Still surprised Nikorima hasnt signed, thought he'd be one of the first through the door
Yep .. each good player they get will convince another one to join ..
Good point and perspective feathered friend about the storms out going aging veterans
And as usual Bellamy will find some great young prospects to replace them and replicate their great input to the Storm team
As for the Dolphins , They have acquired some big match winning experienced players that will set the foundations of a winning culture
Every Season the successful clubs clubs keep upgrading their roster
Because when you do that . They only way is up from the previous season
For sure ! The ice is now well and truly broken and I am sure Bennett has secured other players that are yet to be announced .

Sometime later this morning, Wayne Bennett is expected to announce the signings of Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu and Bryan Niebling to Dolphins contracts.
Its expected that the veteran Kangaroos trio will form the Dolphins starting front row in 2023. For Niebling and Conescu its something of a homecoming, both having played for Redcliffe in the old BRL competition from 1984–87 and 1985–87 respectively before joining Bennett at the Broncos in 1988.

Yes it's noticeable all the 'names' he's got so far are 30 plus.
However getting a core of hard very experienced forwards who know how to succeed at the top level sounds reasonable when starting a roster from scratch. Could also could take some pressure off a Ponga or Munster type if they're able to land a marquee type star. Not sure how they'll go in year 2 or 3 but certainly they should have a rock solid pack in year 1, and maybe that's a fairly good place to start?

The point is that they are looking right now like they are going to have a Dad's Army type team, mostly because the smarter of the current NRL clubs, Manly included, realized that the Dolphins would be looking to raid other clubs juniors so those clubs went on a re-signing spree and locked up their more talented kids to contracts beyond 2023 when Redcliffe joins the league. All that's been left to the Dolphins are the veterans, so far.
And to me a rock solid pack is one with a mix of hardened veterans, those in their prime and some young guns pushing through, not just a bunch of players looking for a Catalans like retirement home where they get one last big payday before sailing off into the sunset.
Whilst many are joking atm I actually don't mind their current approach to get a few experienced leaders to develop standards and culture.
Remember it is only 7 of 30 spots they have filled.
And their 3 most linked in the press at the moment are Farnworth (22) and Nanai (18) for 2023 and Cobbo (19) for 2024

Take another look at our semifinal thrashing by Storm, Kaufusi was basically too tough (and dirty) for us and the Bromwich's were rock solid, I wouldn't be writing them off as footy pensioners just yet.
