Think they will have to add another colour to their logo as the nrl have said they can’t be just red and white like the dragons.

Dolphins don’t really go with red unless Redcliffe is in the name.

Oh please!!! The Yankee Miami Dolphins font is so lazy and predictable. It's also downright shite!

 

[McHunt]

Apparently they're hoping to sign Melbourne's recruitment manager and identification scout, Paul Bunn. He previously spent 14 years at the Broncos with Bennett.

This is Nick Campton's possible team

1. Corey Allan - $400,000
2. Ronaldo Mulitalo - $500,000
3. Tremain Spry - $150,000
4. Phillip Sami - $250,000
5. Corey Oates - $500,000
6. Cameron Munster $1,000,000
7. Braydon Trindall - $350,000
8. Christian Welch © - $750,000
9. Harry Grant - $800,000
10. David Klemmer - $650,000
11. David Fifita - $800,000
12. Tariq Sims - $400,000
13. Corey Horsburgh $350,000

14. Kodi Nikorima - $250,000
15. Tui Kamikamica - $400,000
16. Josh Kerr - $350,000
17. Thomas Mikaele - $250,000

Total: 8.15 million

Spine: $2.8 million
Middle: $2.75 million
Edge: $1.2 million
Centre: $400,000
Wing: $900,000

Total salary cap: $9.11 million


some notes:

• I don't see Fifita taking a sizeable pay cut
• he has Oates on 500k ... Chammas put him on 150k
• Kodi Nikorima isn't coming back to play bench for 250k

If Fifita takes a 450-500k pay cut, they need to be looking deep into that

Why? That's all he's really worth at most. Just because the Titans were dumb enough to pay 1.1-1.2m doesn't mean any other club will be, or even that the Titans would be dumb enough to do it twice.

You can't say he was a failure for them this year, he did what anyone with half a League brain expected he would do. Made some strong carries and a few tries where he knocked 2-3 blokes out of the way in the process.

Usually when they go from 1 million dollar players to taking a massive pay cut they have to be monumental failure, I can't say he has been. Nobody actually expected him to single handedly win games for his team, not even Taumalolo was doing that when Thurston was there with him.

It was a bad signing but that's no fault of Fifita's. He will get another contract around that price range. If it turns into a bidding war (which is why the Titans ultimately ended up paying that much in the first place), he could easily get a similar contract.

the Courier Mail is reporting that Bennett had a clause in his Souths contract that says he can't poach their players or staff for a period of 6 months after his contract expires on November 1

Bunn started at the Dolphins. He still lives there too.

That's quite a telling clause to put in a coaches contract.

They are basically accusing him of poaching players between clubs on his ventures, which isn't exactly a new revelation but to have that clause written into his contract..

I personally think this will be the true acid test of Bennett's coaching career, we all know how great he is and you can't really argue that but while he was here with us he has the cream of the crop in regards to talent to pick from, he wound up at a few other clubs that had a solid roster and was able to tag a player or 2 along with him (the main one being Darius Boyd, who in his prime was as good as anyone).

He has to build a team here without being able to drag along a star player from Souths with him and there's no obvious targets coming out of Brisbane (as most of them will be locked away under contract).

It looks very fucking basic

I don't think that will be the final logo.... it's probably more like the bid logo

He wasn't a failure but he was never worth 1 mill. So I think that price is fair.

Guessing Grant will be their marquee signing then.

Looks like they’ve found it on clipart

 

[holdzy]

Anyone play for the Dolphins as a kid/teen?

 

[Foordy]

I don't see any reason for the Dolphins not to use their current logo. it's a very good logo
