Can Issako hit a kickoff too sweetly for old times sake

It’s nothing but Wayne Bennett in the media already. I would love for Kevvie and the boys to spring an ambush for the ages.

It's not really an ambush when literally everyone expects you to win.

I can't think of a single person who has tipped the Phins.

Paul Kent did before the season started.

so did Crawley ... in fact Crawley said the Dolphins only win in the first 5 weeks would be against us.

but right now. everyone has changed their tune on us (at least for this match)

If we’re all being fair dinkum, does anyone here actually think they will suspend Felise? They want to make it “exciting for the fans”, I say he’s getting a fine and that’s it.

It’s good to see that my prediction aged well….

according to Hooper, the panel found that there was "substantially more force" in the case of Kaufusi than what there was in the Suaalii case.

That’s the thing, it’s being set up for a Wayne Bennett ambush. I just hope we don’t fall for that crud and in fact put on a clinic. Let’s re-establish the days where we were the big dogs.

 

[BroncosFever]

We're going to have to play like dogshit to lose to them, 50/50 possession and we will win, we have them covered in almost every position

It’s bound to happen either side of the half’s surely.

Reyno messaged that he’s innovating his spiral bombs just for this game so, we must add in mandatory knock on’s from The wingers & fb.

It just highlights the inconsistency in the MRC, but Suaalii most definitely should have got the same punishment.

The only thing that makes me think he got a Grade 1 and Kaufusi got a Grade 2 is the speed in which Kaufusi came flying into the tackle. It had the potential to have more serious consequences.

To me that means Sua'ali'i had more time to pull out or decide to go through with that tackle.
If anything he is more culpable than Felise.
The MRC manage to **** something up every year.
Agree the Kaufusi tackle prob deserves 2 weeks but the Sua'ali'i tackle deserves 4 by comparison.

I'd just be happy if we see Isaaka put on a big step into the waiting shoulder (and arms, sure) of Haas.

Geez there's some questionable thoughts on that Dolphins forum...

Their "big centres"? Aitken and Brenko?? Tiring out Herbie and Kotoni?!? Um...

Aitken: View attachment 21464

Brenko: View attachment 21465

VERSUS

Herbie: View attachment 21466

Kotoni: View attachment 21467


So by my calculations that makes our smaller winger (Kotoni) 3cm taller and 1kg lighter than their smaller winger (Aitken), and Herbie the same height and 2kg heavier than Brenko. So in total our wingers are 3cm taller and 1kg heavier than the Phins' "big centres"... Ours are also 23 and 24 vs 27 for Aitken/Brenko so we have age on our side as well...how on earth does old mate come to the conclusion their centres have the advantage??

He's right though that Wayne's game plan will be simple - it always is in the big games. Good old Bennettball. Completions top priority. Grind away. Which is all well and good, but we - finally - have x-factors which the Phins are almost completely ill-equipped to counter.

Kotoni is not 6'1, I've met him (I'm 6'3) He'd be 5'11-6'0 at best

I tipped the Phins.

 

[Cult]

LOL. Awesome conspiracy theory. Where do you guys get this crazy shit?

Says the leader of the "Kevin is sacking everyone so his son can get a run" conspiracy theory.

 

[OXY-351]

NRL360 is now a complete joke.

To be fair, NRL360 weren't the ones suggesting it. They were merely reporting that the club was apparently considering trying it if Kafusi was found guilty.

Even Kent said it was one of the worst decisions in the history of world sport administration.

He kicked a drop out on the full the other week .
I laughed when the commentators said just that . Oh he`s hit it too sweetly . LOL .

More run up .

The Sualii one looked dirtier though . Pretty obvious the guy had passed the ball . Then Sualii hits him in the back .

They will love his grubbiness in Rugger . LOL .
