The Dolphins discussion

Does anyone have a list of coaches who have come out of England, coached here, and pulled it off. They all seem shit.

Trent Robinson's first head coach gig was at Catalans. No one else off the top of my head.

But he was originally from Aus obviously. Kevvie would count in the Robinson mould. There are a few ex-Aussie players currently coaching over there who might be worth watching like Adrian Lam (who I rate), Brett Hodgson, etc.

But yeah do not know many have come over that and have had success other than Robinson and Kevvie but then, how many have tried in order to make a comparison?

I can only think of:
Robinson
Holbrook
Kevvie
Michael Maguire?

Looking at that list, hmm they've done pretty well the Aussies who have returned.

Would be interesting to have both coach and player list. I think both would heavily lean into them not being very good down here.
 
Milf to The is finally official. Will be great to hear about how he has always wanted to represent The. So I guess O'Sullivan and Milf will be The's inaugural halves pairing. Now if The can get a fullback and at least something of a backline threat, who knows, they might go alright.
 
That’s a shame. I really want to support them on some level next year but I think I’d rather throw up than cheer for Milford. Greasy grifting little turd that he is.
 
So updated team for The:
1.
2. Lee
3. Lee
4. Aitken
5. Isaako
6. Milford
7. O'Sullivan
8. Bromwich
9. Graham
10. Wallace
11. Bromwich
12. Kaufusi
13. Gilbert

14. Nikorima
15. Nicholls
16. Lemuelu
17. Stone

18. Marshall-King
19. Collins
20. Bostock
21. Katoa
22. Jennings
23. Teague
24. Te Whare

It is serviceable.

They should really target Lachlan Coote, Suliasi Vunivalu, Luke Brookes, Angus Chrichton and Jake Turpin for next year. Also should have got Rhys Kennedy too. They'd still suck but the spread of actual first grade quality players would be better for them.
1 Lachlan Coote
2 Suliasi Vunivalu
3 Euan Aitken
4 Brenko Lee
5 Edrick Lee
6 Anthony Milford
7 Luke Brookes
8 Jesse Bromwich
9 Jake Turpin
10 Jarrod Wallace
11 Angus Chrichton
12 David Fifita
13 Tom Gilbert

14 Kodi Nikorima
15 Rhys Kennedy
16 Mark Nicholls
17 Felise Kaufusi

Then target Fifita, Herbie, Tesi, Pereira, Xavier Savage, Bullemor, Munster and Solomona for 2024 and they could run out with

1 Tesi Niu
2 Suliasi Vunivalu
3 Herbie Farnworth
4 Xavier Savage
5 Jordan Pereria
6 Cameron Munster
7 Luke Brookes
8 Jesse Bromwich
9 Harrison Graham
10 Nelson Asofa-Solomona
11 Angus Chrichton
12 David Fifita
13 Tom Gilbert

14 Kodi Nikorima
15 Rhys Kennedy
16 Ethan Bullemor
17 Felise Kaufusi

They'd still suck though. Hopefully the Milford signing doesn't hinder them targeting Munster.

I'd consider having Nikorima at 1 and keep Isaako on wing as you suggested.
And Marshall-King at 9, with Graham at 14.
I think Milford can do well, if he has a few others that will take the pressure and heat off of him. I think having Kodi floating would do that...obviously long term they need a better option than Kodi at 1...but short term, still better than Isaako

Definitely a decent team as you suggested. Their pack will definitely hold their own.

None of the players they’ve signed will take the heat off him at all

Would it be worth considering Munster to 1?

1. Munster
6. Milford/Katoa
7. O'Sullivan/Katoa
9. Graham
14. Nikorima

This could very well crash and burn but it would at least be an intriguing spine to see.

No because Milford is never going to be good
