    Heritage kit looks good IMO. They should've rolled with that as the home kit.

    Is it just me or is the red on the socks not actually as light as the jersey and shorts?

    Yeah something's off there. I was thinking that maybe they haven't actually settled on the sock/shorts make up and the picture is photoshopped.

    Probably some crap about deep red being confronting to sensitive people.

    How can they claim to not be Redcliffe, but also have a heritage jersey?
     
  6. Cribbage RG Cribb

    They know they're Redcliffe. Everyone knows they're Redcliffe.

    Redcliffe.

    If Dolphins some how come out and have a bit of success straight off the bat, do you think there hinders the viability of the Titans going forward?

    Mole is saying RTS isn't happy in RU and may head Dolphins. Would be perfect for them TBH.

    I'd say he'll probs stay in Union til after the WC though.

    Just saw Dom young with his agent at Brisbane airport. Hes been pretty good recently, but I can't imagine Dolphins needing an international winger on their books. Broncos don't need him either, so perhaps the Tits?

    Redcliffe just have money to burn I think. Their spine has cost them nothing so they can pick up gun depth players for some of the other positions.

    Much like Anthony Milford....... re WB

    The Redcliffe Dolphins won't be the worst team to ever come out of the starting blocks.

    Tipping Milf to have his best year since the Broncs 2015 GF.......

    I don't think they'll spoon it, will probs finish around 11-12th will be a few wins off the 7-10 logjam, but won't be in the absolute cellar either.

    They have a spoon worthy team, I just back Bennett to be able to get them to over-perform.

    Theyre going to surprise a lot of people imo. Dont need a bunch of marquee players if the team is well-balanced and work as a unit. Defo not a spoon team.

    And its nice to have a Brisbane team I actually wanna barrack for.

    If you write out their best 17, which teams do you think they're better than?
     
  17. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    I have no idea. Havent looked at all the rosters. None probably, but thats pretty irrelevant afaic. Game isnt played on paper. I like the pack and i like the spine. Depth will challenge them but Bennett aint no fool.
     
  18. Tartmaster AJ James

    Yeah, I think all the spoon talk is a bit much.
    Don't think they'll make the 8, but I don't think they'll be too far away from it.
     
  19. Magic AJ Parker

    If they get close to the 8 they it will be one of Bennett's greatest achievements.

    Their spine and 3/4 line really is just a bunch of fringe firstgraders and I may be being too generous with that statement. Tabuai-Fidow looks the standout prospect in the backs but has no next to no ball-playing ability so not sure he's going to fit straight into a Bennett system anyway, more likley he'll play Kodi Nikormia there IMO.

    Their forward pack is pretty decent and they've got some good depth in the forwards.

    If the reverse was true and they had a bunch of fringe first graders in the forwards and a decent spine/backline then I'd be on board because I'd just back Bennett to just churn out another bunch of overperformers ala Dan Hunt/Mark Nicholls/Neville Costigan/Robbie Rochow/Dane Carlaw/Toni Caroll.

    I expect them to finish 14-17th, I think 12th would be a really good season. Anything above that is a minor miracle for mine.

    A good honeymoon period to kick off the season will hopefully see them avoid the spoon.

    What do you like about the spine? It's almost paraplegic.
