The Dolphins 2023 NRL squad and development players | Sporting News Australia

Dolphins coach Wayne Bennett has added three more names to his squad for 2023.

There is Zero way you are getting Jesse + Kenneth Bromwich, Felise Kaufusi, Mark Nichols, the Dolphins have an impressive front row.

Spine is Marshall + Sean O'Sullivan + Anthony Milford + Jaymayne Isakko

Add Hammer and others, The dolphins have a great squad that they would be no where near getting without Wayne Bennett.

Yes they did not sign Munster, etc. They will sign a "gun". Wayne is building his sides right. I expect them to be top 8 minimum.

Great squad? The forward pack is experienced but on the decline. The Storm needed a fresh start in the forwards to be honest.

That spine makes ours look like the Panthers spine last year. Terrible.

No depth either. Favourites for the spoon no doubt.
 
I don't care if we get him or not but I love the fact if the Dogs have withdrawn (which makes sense) then buzz 'dont know anything' drunkard Rothfield is wrong again. Didn't he say the Dogs were favourites? Gutter bias journalism targeting teams he doesn't like.

But ST remember the journalists creed,
" Never let the truth get in the way of a good headline".

We have the forwards. Need a good half. Moses is the best of the available options and junior halfbacks need years developing even after they have debuted.

Your first four words are most pertinent, especially in regards to the previous couple of posts from @finnzo.

Will never be overly keen on Moses again for other reasons, and he is the ultimate flat track bully. Still, he is though perfectly suited behind a decent forward pack, which should be very much the case this season onwards for WT, and is easily the best halves option on the market.

I think his share price rose on the back of 2 games. Playing busted for Blues and he also stood up for Eels when a few of his teammates could have done better.

This is what I hate. We accepted Nofo for Overs, 500k + 5 years.

I am prepared to say "yes" to 5 years, but 5 years at 1 mil. I am prepared to say yes to 3 years at 1.4. With who we recruited we should not be signing these teamkiller deals.

Don't worry about the money, the CAP is going up heaps in the 5 years....$2.0m will be marquee wages in 5 years, which will make Moses money look paltry.

Blame the Managers....and a spineless NRL Hierarchy - they take on the RLPA but are gutless to take on the Managers...The players will get what they can, can't blame them MM is in his prime, his only shot to get a decent contract....

Don't blame Moses at all ..blame the hierachy of the game ...Super League still hangs over the game like a guillotine .....

He also has enough in him to tell the forward pack when they're not doing their job...
We could also use a bit of that, Could use a lot of his goal kicking....

Still a gazillion to one to turn his back on Parra though....
Can't help but feel we're just a little more leverage for him

And thats ok too - even if he stays with them on lower coin they still have to up their offer. Their cap is out of whack already - don't mind adding to that. And the egos at Parra - i can already imagine Gutho is whingeing about Browns deal.

100% look at the teams That went out and purchased experienced half cowboys and broncos both improved out of site

Look at the teams who got rid of experienced halfs knights and titans both went so far backwards

Mitch is just what we need plays the perfect style if attacking football sheens and benji will be looking for

That part is very true. Mitch is probably also the most capable half of playing a style of eyes up football whilst also getting a team around the park.

I highly doubt that would be the case. This season the cap had had its largest ever increase, completely out of nowhere. Players want the CBA to cover post retirement injury issues, they can't have that and also expect their own paychecks to double. NRL players are already overpaid
