Its why players like Kaufusi and the Bromwhich brothers were able to get a good pay packet from the Dolphins. They were well past their prime and on the decline. Yet a new club bought them because they are coming from a top system/club (Storm). While I believe they were still NRL standard at the time, they were not bought for their onfield performance. They were bought to lead a new roster and create the culture and standards at the Phins for the future.
Thanks EA If he has the right attitude work with him Mix his social relationships with players like Longi, Papali feed them a Kaizen attitude around commitment to self development and a Life legacy
Top 8 always depends on the draw, unfortunately they love giving us storm panthers dogs and those types of teams twice because it draws ratings, we aren't a bad side but if half our games are against top 4 sides you are up against it
We need one origin worthy six centre and middle and then we are in the frame. Thats going to be tough to get with the Bears and PNG coming in ......we going to have to wait and see if these youngsters can do it.
"It's a comment not a post but I'm the dope 😂. The end of the day one will be favoured over the other.now I said smith because of the minutes da silver is getting."
"Talakia has poor lateral movement. So he'd be no upgrade on what we have at centre. 2nd row maybe, but I don't think he's better than what we have. He's living off 1 game several years ago where he scored multiple trys. "
Looks like he going to leave the Dolphins and go back to the Dragons I hope Jason Ryles trys to get him we need front rower yes he 29 but i say he still got it after all we got the fox how old is he

Sometimes paying 'overs' to the right player, isn't overs at all.....bloody spot on. It's called investment.
💯 agree.
We need to sign Tino even if it makes him the highest paid prop in the game.
I believe his signing alone elevates us to a top 8 team.
Add a quality 6 and a quality centre and we are a top 4-6 team.
I think we are a top 8 team without Tino as long as Moses is fit. With Tino & a 6 we are pushing for top 4 IMO
Have to disagree.
Without a prop like Tino, we don't make the 8 next year IMO.
Do we have another Utoikamanu that we can develop?
Teacum Brown has a similar built.
