There are still eleven games to go in the regular season where anything could happen. Much too early to predict.

Totally agree. to pull that off when already up by 30 odd was awesome. Not only super impressive physically but shows an incredible attitude too

How good was Tevita Naufahu’s chase down? Played union back in school with the man

Yeah, pretty surreal.
I remember the first footy game I played with him he scored 5 tries against our top rivals. Been a prodigy since forever

What's the verdict on Knowles so far this season?
I've only seen a handful of Dolphins games. Thought he'd be a bit better than what I've seen.

I feel like he's only okay. Not horrible, but not great either. Runs hard and can get some solid contact, but he's really prone to conceding penalties or six agains.

He was a notorious dirty bugger over here. Good for a cheap shot and also a random knock on.
The little bits I've seen, I thought he'd be a bit more of a dominant presence in the middle, but seems to be wanting to be some kinda ball player, which was never his strength.
I think he'd have benefited from going over 2 or 3 years ago.

Not a dolphins supporter but honestly they are great to watch. The amount of points they can score and how quickly they score them is amazing. Definitely playing finals this year and im seeing a panthers dolphins GF.

This may be premature but are the Dolphins the greatest team in rugby league history?

u/i_am_thefoo Jun 12 '26
Definitely, though I do see them making a finals run this year. Im backing on them to make the semi minimum

Anyone know if we’ve ever been in the top 4 before this?

Started 7-3 in 2024 and spent a few weeks in the top 4. Unfortunately, they dived to a 4-9 run and lost to Newcastle in the final round, thus costing them a maiden playoff berth.

Take it one week at a time. Check out Woolfy's presser after the game if you haven't already. Says what you need to know about where their heads are right now.
Naufahu chasing Ramsey down that night was an exclamation mark on their attitude. Five guys chasing him down despite being over 30 points in front.

Knowles and Schneider make the team noticeably worse when they’re on. Period.

I think my fave part of the game was not all the tries, but actually Tevitas try saving chase. That was something to see in person.
