Bad idea. What TV station will buy a comp where only one state watches?

Never finished bottom four: Bennett faces greatest coaching challenge getting Dolphins off the ground

The difference here is that The Dolphins are not a made up team heading into an area where rugby league is not strong. They have been around for 60 years, the area is ruby league territory and an all time team of Redcliffe juniors would be strong. They have a well established and wealthy leagues club and a few rusted on supporters. It’s more like when Penrith and Cronulla joined the NSWRL in 1967. Even so, it will still take a long time for them to be successful and they may never be a powerhouse, possibly more like a Cronulla – a generally middle of the road team.

Interesting. Oates for mine is a good pick. I’d forgotten about Molo and Mo

QLD can’t make mass changes simply because they don’t have as many options as NSW. Gilbert, Fifita, Horsburgh, Flegler might come into contention. Hammer or Oates maybe. That’s about it.

I’m much more concerned about the ability of Munster and Ponga to be right for game three. Munster was busted from 45 mins in (coincidentally that’s when the wheels fell off), Ponga’s regular head knocks are a concern. Walsh and Hunt (is Mahoney fit as a a back up hooker) or Dearden is a big step down.

Horsburgh. I like that idea.

Jack Madden from the Capras, Guy Hamilton or Josh Rogers from Burleigh. Sam Scarlett from Wynnum. Lyndon McGrady from the Tweed, Lachlan Cooper from the Jets?

At this stage I’d be very happy with The Dolphins offering some two years contracts to the best spine players in the QRL not linked to other clubs. Ones who might not be Nathan Cleary but are in their mid to late 20’s and can be a calm head to steer the team around. Another Jamal Fogerty would be nice. To Rellum etc who follow the QCup more closely than me, who would fit the bill?

And it appears that Milford will be coming. At 27 or 28 he still has some good years ahead.

Exactly this

Rather than just punish illegal shots, why doesn’t the NRL better protect targeted players?

Yea and then us there some sort of press release from the judiciary: “time’s up. Open season on Ponga again”

Yep I called that. I’m waiting on the call from NRL 360.

But he misses so many tackles. NSW scored from one of his 4 misses and he was t on the field that long.

So QLD’s best players from Game 1 (Munster) and Game 2 (Ponga) are in doubt. Deep breath and think about how we score 12 points. Might have to try and influence the ref’s.

Talakai, nothing against him, but you wouldn’t need them both and Wighton has the runs on the board.

Just to bring back Wighton from injury, who was immense in Game 1. I agree with the call to put him on the bench for Talekai. Wighton has to be there but Burton was super tonight.

That actually would have been a hard game to mark for QLD, because it was essentially two different games. In the first half QLD held their own and only went in down due to the sin bin. Then they came out after half time and dropped their bundle.

Also Nanai plays few minutes, so what is his purpose?

It’s interesting how we can see different things. at the time I thought Hunt had a very good game, especially in the first half. I’d have to go back and have a look.

I think he did let the game drift too much there, but the ball didn’t actually go out of play for a fairly long period.

It’s coming out now that Munster did his shoulder at about the 45 minute mark. That makes some sense.

Papa needs to get game time or be put out to pasture. Unfortunately for young Nanai his missed tackles at club level are being found out here and they probably need a Mo or Molo or Gilbert in that spot.

The question with Papa is why pick him if you aren’t going to use him?
And yes Gagai had one of his worst games for QLD.

They look about right. I’d give Hunt a 6, he was definitely our best after Ponga and Carrigan.
