In peter we trust...
Goosters lol
Hopefully they get Munster for 2024. Anything that helps bring Melbourne back to the pack is good for the game.
Well, that'd be the salary cap working as intended. Fingers crossed on that count.
If NZ 2 becomes the 18th club then Melbourne might have trouble recruiting the best juniors from SEQ and NZ now that we have The Dolphins.
Well then they're going to have to put in the leg-work for developing local juniors then, aren't they?
Like that will ever happenWell then they're going to have to put in the leg-work for developing local juniors then, aren't they?
You can’t develop what’s not there, nrl needs to invest in victoria to increase jnr participation rates. Storm spend plenty running Victorian development pathways for the best, there’s just not enough of them in reality.Well then they're going to have to put in the leg-work for developing local juniors then, aren't they?
It's time for Melbourne and the NRL to invest in grassroots RL across Victoria. With enough money and promotion it can be done.Well then they're going to have to put in the leg-work for developing local juniors then, aren't they?

no they weren't, he isn't worth that much. We'll be fine with our three quality spine players that we've spent the money on. 6 has never been that big a priority at Storm until Munster got good.Panthers’ savvy Kikau sub; Ciraldo’s Dogs’ recruitment drive begins: Transfer Whispers

1.5 million a season is probably overs but he’s one of the best players in the game
massive loss for the storm
they were idiots trying to not at least match the 1.2 million they are paying him now
hindsight but keeping Hynes on 400k would’ve been an excellent move

They are looking a bit shaky
Now that he's coaching Queensland to series wins over the Cockroaches he's likeable.
The back end of his career he was a typical storm player. Niggly, grubby, milking penalties and a major sookNow that he's coaching Queensland to series wins over the Cockroaches he's likeable.
The Dolphins are a powerhouse and some still don't realise it. For those that haven't cottoned on yet, this is a huge, very well run, football club and business and are exactly how you want all NRL clubs to be operated. I think they'll be mid-table in their first season but honestly it doesn't matter even if they pick up the spoon. Once they are in their stride they will be a juggernaut.DOLPHINS MAKE SPLASH AS NRL’S NEW CORPORATE KINGS
The Dolphins have joined the Broncos as the financial kings of the NRL, amassing a staggering $10 million corporate empire ahead of their premiership debut next season.
The Courier-Mail can reveal the Dolphins have usurped big guns Melbourne, Penrith, South Sydney and the Roosters with a sponsorship portfolio that vindicates the NRL’s decision to include the much-maligned 17th franchise.
The sponsorship revelations come as the Dolphins slammed criticism of their recruitment and ARL Commission boss Peter V’landys blasted detractors of the Dolphins, backing super coach Wayne Bennett to deliver a finals campaign in their foundation season in 2023.
Dolphins boss Terry Reader confirmed the new franchise is already the second richest team in the league when it comes to corporate support, turning up the heat on Sydney’s posse of cash-strapped clubs.
“Our playing kit (sponsorship) is fully sold and we are travelling very well commercially,” Reader said.
“Our sponsorship book is very healthy and we will probably start next year at number two behind the Broncos in sponsorship revenue based on the last benchmarking results the NRL did.
“There is a good appetite for the Dolphins and we’ve built programs people want to be part of. Given Brisbane has been a one-team town for so long, a lot of companies have been locked out (of sponsorship opportunities).
“There is a lot of interest and we’ve signed some blue-chip companies from day one.”
