2023 R1 Sun - Dolphins 28-18 Sydney @ Suncorp

[King hit]

Congratulations to the Dolphins they played an excellent game and deserved to win. It was a true team effort with everyone doing their part. This will be a good episode on the Bennett series on Stan

Congrats Fins. More of that to come if they remain injury free.

That game is why Mr Burns is considered a GOAT and Gobbo isn't even the conversation.



Absolute myth of a coach.

If you're going to make a statement like this at least understand history. This happens every year, we suck in round 1. This isn't even the worst round 1 performance in his tenure, 2018 tigers and 2022 knights were worse IMO.

Let's not also pretend that this game wasn't a bigger deal for the dolphins than us. They wanted to make a statement, develop an identity and celebrate their existence. To us it was one of 24 regular season games this year. That's why you had finals like intensity from them (which I doubt you will see too many times again this year) and the opposite from us.

Normally I'd love to lay into the Roosters.

But this isn't it.

This is a chance to lay into Paul Kent, Buzz Rothfield, Fox NRL etc

Alright calm down M.Bison

Roosters to log a request for salary cap relief tomorrow based on the fact they lost to the Dolphins.

The biggest oxygen thieves to talk footy with the exceptions of Hadley and Jones. They are FAKE NEWS!!!!

 

[THE CHAMP]

Probably Souffs,Riff and Melbun get that call as well. No other club would.

I fondly remember the days when we were one of those sides.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

A post for the ages!

He has along rich history of them

Good win for "The". Anyone who grew up in "The" has been waiting for this one.

Don't say Redcliffe.

 

[Pugzley]

Dolphins uniform looks like the Illawarra Steelers!!

I suspect you've gone full circle and have abandoned the Roosters, just the same as you did the Broncos

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

I dare say Robbo will not be offended by a faceless gronk (me) teasing him on forum ffs. Head outside and touch some grass

I was more concerned with you making fun of people who've been horrifically disfigured. I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone.

That will be the challenge for The.

To maintain that sort of performance every week.

This is no knock on them but that is going to be an impossibility. That was almost origin level intensity and the conditions of today won't be replicated with the possible exception of the broncos game.

I do expect them to be defensively sound and well organised throughout the year so they will be in the hunt for the 8.

Holy shit at the cope in this post. They only won because they played at "origin intensity"(they didn't) LOL.

I'm not saying they played with the skill of origin players.

Their intensity was high and ours low, do you disagree with that?

Errors was a major factor in the result.
