    Yeh Reece Walsh was the difference tonight. Hand in all 3 tries in the second half.

    I think they got the shits that the Dolphins had tapped him up earlier than they should of and potentially planted the seed that created the unrest and desire to move back home.

    Yeah it made sense, especially that they could get Martin from Brisbane. He just seem like the perfect player for the Dolphins to build around/hype etc etc. Him at 1 with Hammer in the centres makes their team a lot stronger.

    Stoked to see the Dolphins get up again

    Fins up!

    Just me or has the bunker been less likely to over rule the on field decision this year? Seems like a deliberate change this year, gotta say I’m not a fan if it is the case.

    Tipped them to win, the Raiders have looked fucking horrid, and having Kris at 1 is so stupid.

    Can see a world where Parra are 0-5, pretty tough draw to start.

    And they still release Nathan Brown early to the Rorters.

    So sad to see Ponga knocked out again. You’d imagine he’s going to have to sit out for quite a while now.

    Yep, and hopefully they give up on him playing in the front line.

    Gamble was pretty good this arvo too.

    Tigers were just horrendous, they seem to be fine until they get into good ball and then it’s just junior footy rubbish. Try to keep the ball alive and hope someone with some individual brilliance can come up with something.
     
  12. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Ponga is now in the same boat as Keary. 1 more concussion and it's retirement time.

    Really enjoying this Dolphins run. It's only 3 games, but if they manage to keep it up and make the finals whilst a rabble like the Tigers stay bottom, it surely means a massive clean out of the whole Wests organisation.

    Been good having so many close games too.
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    This Titans/Melbourne game is ridiculous. I took the over 42 total match points line and we’ve hit it with 37 minutes left to play.

    Any chance either of these sides going to have a crack in defence?
     
  15. Magic AJ Parker

    Tigers have really handicapped themselves with the Benji Marshall succession plan already drawn up in contracts. There’s absolutely not evidence that Benji is going to be a good first grade coach and there was absolutely no need to have him locked in on a coaching contract as if there was going to be massive competition for his signature?

    It’s Sheens locked in for two years and then Marshall for the next 3. They could have well and truly cucked themselves for the next half decade.
     
  16. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Lock the Broncos in for the premiership.
     
  17. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    It is a bit bizarre. The entire organisation just seems to have nothing other than '05 nostalgia when it comes to strategy or vision.

    I think I'd tended to cut them some slack because they're trying to recruit their way to success, which seems to be a very tricky thing to manage as them and the Bulldogs have shown, but seeing the way the Dolphins have pulled together a group that's digging in & other things Ciraldo not wanting anything to do with them really gives the vibe of problems right the way through, Pascoe still being head of everything after that nonsense with Farah years ago.

    Part of me wonders if they need to go hard at making Campbelltown pretty much their home ground, at least until a Liverpool stadium comes together. I love Leichardt and the Balmain history, but they seem all over the shop between there, commbank and campbelltown.

    Manly are $2.40 v Souths this week. Not bad seeing the Bunnies' injuries in the forwards.
     
  19. Magic AJ Parker

    What a game, geez there's been some good finishes to games already this year.

    That kick from Cleary was ridiculous, barely set himself, 1 step and knocks it over 45 metress out on a slight angle not ideal for a right foot kicker.

    And he kicked it behind RCG who had ran across his arc too. Pretty incredible.

    The 40m FG rule introduction has been pretty sweet.
    But I wonder if some RU Quality dropkicker came in and started slotting them for fun if they'd increase it to 50m?

    Moses' kick was great too, he was so calm for such a big moment.
