[JamesRustle]

Dolphins to win the cousin rooting cup. 22-8

 

[Saxon]

Phins have only played one halfway decent side this year (the Cowboys) and lost. Expect the dream to start crashing down.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Walsh to return while the Phins are suddenly missing some of their best.

 

[The Man Shake]

I'm going to take you back out to Redcliffe little buddy...

Broncs by 30.

 

[This Year?]

I can't wait to see Flegler go up against his old club. I hope his shoulder is up for it.
The battle of Brisbane is intriguing for a Sydney club fan whose club has anywhere between 2-4 derbies.

Will Oates and Arthurs switch edges? IIRC Oates usually is on the left.

 

[GongPanther]

The ladder will start righting its away very, very soon starting with a 70-12 fist beating of the Fins.

 

[Wb1234]

 

[Someone2]

Broncos by 30

 

[Valheru]

I think Dolphins will keep it relatively tight, Bennett loves getting his team up to play his previous team/s

Broncos by 10

 

[MrBlack]

Will be closer than people think.

Fins have the edge in the forwards you would think.

Both teams halves are uninspiring.

Will come down to a piece of individual play. Probably from one of the fullbacks.

Going to say Dolphins by not many

 

[Grapple]

Dolphins have plenty of experience in their team. Pretty decent squad + feel good NRL story of the week Dolphins win at Suncorp

Dolphins by 4 points.

 

[skeepe]

I would settle for a rerun of last time the Dolphins and Broncos met.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Close game

 

[Wb1234]

how good is this

 

[skeepe]

Hard to pick.

The Dolphins have looked good, but their wins have been against the Tigers, Dragons and Titans.

Broncos probably edge it, although I’m not sold on a Mam/Madden halves pairing.

Walsh vs Hammer will likely be the difference here.

 

[skeepe]

That headgear will do absolutely nothing to protect Walsh’s cheekbone. Ridiculous.

 

[MRN]

Baker. Ugh.

 

[Diesel]

Nice start by the Phins

 

[Wb1234]

I like this dolphins half pairing

katoa is much improved this year
