NRL's 17th Team - The (Redcliffe) dolphins

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Have to expect the Dolphins to gradually develop a fairly competitive squad

Yep. With the added advantage that they will continue to weaken the ranks of the Broncos and the Storm while they do so. Everybody wins!

 

[Eagles4Life]

Oh no doubt it was rushed. No doubt they have a weaker squad then they would have liked but I'll judge them after 5 seasons, not 1.

In players like Katoa, Bostock and Teague they do have talent moving forward.

@Dan lets bookmark this. If the Dolphins win 2 or more games Koko will donate $20 to Silvertails. 1 or less and I will.

Done

I would be surprised if the Dolphins don't win 4-5 games this season. They have some excellent young players coming through in Te Whare, Bostock, Katoa and Teague, who will all be in the seventeen by the end of the season. It wouldn't surprise me if Bennett brings these players through pretty quickly, particularly Katoa and Teague. This team can definitely surprise a few of the bottom eight teams, in the later stages of the season.

Teague is a backrower right?

Harrison Graham the hooker

I think Teague also played some hooker at the Panthers. He does usually plays lock though. Graham is an out-and-out hooker, evidently.

Let's try this possible side at the end of season 2023

Bennett lands big signing blow on Broncos

Dolphins lure gun centre on bumper deal

Farnworth to the Dolphins for 3 years (starting next year). Good pickup for the phins.

That said, doubt the Broncos mind with Deine Mariner coming through.

In fact would be surprised to see this happen mid season

 

[Disco]

Be lucky to win 1 game this season. It distorts the comp the teams who play them twice are getting two extra byes.

Happy to take a bet that they win 2 or more games this season.

$20 donated to silvertails?

As for the bet sure let's do it. Unless a team is backing themselves to lose they should be ashamed to lose to that squad.

How is the confidence @Koko22 ??

 

[manlyfan76]

Well done porpoises

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Historic win , against the Premiership favourites , WOW!!

 

[Shoe1]

Good win, but wow how bad was the Redcliffe bench dummy half? Passes all over the shop.

 

[Alfreddo]

I would be surprised if the Dolphins don't win 4-5 games this season.

You might want to up that by one or two now

 

[rmd]

The Chooks were atrocious, with so much lost ball, however, all credit to the Dolphins and I was ‘rooting for them.’

It just added to a great weekend!

 

[Nordburg]

How is the confidence @Koko22 ??

Think @Koko22 maybe a bit quiet this arvo,or at least should be

 

[Waz13]

Dolphins always up for that one. Easts just awful so it all kinda fell into place for the Dolphins. Great win for them tho and something to build on.

That reminds me I better take a Donny McKinnon. 🤦

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Did someone take a leak on the field?

I understand Don McKinnon was a guest of honour today, catching up with (inaugural Broncos’ coach) Wayne Bennett and his old captain Fatty Vautin after the game for a light ale or two.
