Maybe….they are playing this poorly so when we get Brookes it will get a favourable response because everyone will be thinking “it can’t be any worse than what we have”.
That is exactly what I’m thinking right now.

Anyone else think it's totally pointless using a heap of players who aren't part of the club next year? I mean, what benefit does it give? Nothing about the club makes any sense atm.
It is totally pointless, but it's probably just as pointless to run out a bunch of blokes that will never be good enough too... or even worse run a bunch of kids out and ruin their careers earlier than we normally would. At least we're letting this bunch of shitters own their shitness.

And then we find out after our March premiership next year, it can in fact get worse...

AOB in the press conference looked absolutely defeated, he genuinely looked like he was about to break out in tears

but yeah, no point playing Hoy, crossland, milf, Lee

Why would he cry? It was his choice. All season it was his choice. He just isn't up to it. He has no idea about the tactical intricacies of the game. He might be able to get a playing group fit and disciplined under a head coach but he isn't a head coach.

If he isn't fired before next preseason, I expect another wooden spoon.

Players leaving, play or not last game.
Hoy, need to find a f/b but likely will play
Lee deserves to play
Milf likely injured and will miss anyway
Sue HIA so unlikely clear to play
Momoisea hasn’t done enough to warrant game
Barnett injured unlikely right to play
Not much to argue about

i love that you’re confident of it but I can’t fathom why!

If Bennett is good at one thing it’s getting a team to buy in and give it their all.
Bennett is good at winning with stacked rosters. 2020 Origin was the one exception but he was coaching against Fittler who doesn’t have 2 brain cells to rub together.

The Dolphins roster is incredibly weak at this stage and they’ll struggle to win a game next year.

No doubt they look weak and lack depth, but I’m super curious how well fare against them.

If you gave me 2 wins start I'd be all over the dolphins to finish ahead of the knights.

The only thing that would worry me with that bet is aob getting fired early in the season and the players deciding to have a go for the new coach

If anyone is shit enough to get beat by them we are.

Things are as bleak now as they’ve ever been for us but I’m hopeful of us signing a few players and improving our roster and praying Ponga sorts his shit out and we get a full season out of him.

The NRL should schedule us vs Dolphins in round 1 to get the new clubs fans excited with a first up win.

Lee has been pretty good since he returned recently. He hasn't had to clean up any kicks behind him though so we haven't seen his freighter turning circle.
