Team List Redcliffe Dolphins v NZ Warriors - [Round 8, 2026]

[Jonno13]

You gotta think that with the Dolphins hectic travelling schedule they'd be very worn down towards the end of the game and I think that's where most of our points will be scored towards the backend of the game but never know with Dolphins they're a good side like us I'm leaning towards us 13+ given Dolphins travelled to Darwin then back home to Redcliffe now over to NZ so yeah
Us 13+ Letsss gooo
Up the wash

Gotta agree with their travel having a huge impact. Late game Friday night in that Darwin heat and game went to extras as well. I think I heard that just one team this year has won the week following playing Penrith. Then they travel to NZ, so that nearly takes a day outa the training schedule when flying from Townsville. They gonna be tough team to play but if we can turn the screws, they’ll be doing it tuff those last 20mins.

Kodi will be a huge loss for them. He owned us last year at Mt Smart

 

[WAH MAN]

We’ll still have the quickest player on he field tho, even against the dolphins. How rare is that.

Yes I think Khans quicker than Hammer

They are the exact team to try it against. A straight out and out drag race between Lofi and Hammer. Then in the second half he can race Herbie for pink slips.

Tannah bounce pass this week to test it out?

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Surely we test out Schneider's side this week. Erin was knocking him down for fun during the trial.

They have the worst middle defense and the worst completion rate in the comp. So if we are patient through the middle, we will find some joy late. I smell another Jacko Ford try through the middle. Not brave enough to put it into a multi tho.

 

[Jonno13]

Dolphins players lost 3-5kgs each on average after that Darwin game. Holly hecka’s. That’s a lot of energy stores to replace (as per Sport Nation)

Yes I think Khans quicker than Hammer

I noticed him busting through 2 tacklers for a line break at centre vs Titans, the hammer also plays centre or FB for QLD, he could be quite a flexible piece to use depending on where we are on the field

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Don't know if it has been posted here, but fox sports is reporting that Averillo will play 6 and Trai Fuller will come into the side either at 1 or in the centers. This also checks out with Billy Slater's podcast earlier in the week where there was some news that Fuller was training in the centers this week.

Tanah bullet to Chitty. Face ball across Capewell and bat on by Roger to the flying Pakistani Prince of Penrose

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Phins might get busted late due to the travel but we have to be ready for them being super desperate here. This game is almost getting to must-win territory for them. If they lose this, they are already 2-5 and with a tough draw, finals is already looking like a long-shot for them.

You meant Roger batted the ball to the Pakistani restaurant across the street in Penrose?

Why have we not set up a ANZAC day rival team? Storm have moved to make the Bunnies their annual clash . Moving it round the country and chopping and changing teams makes it feel less special I reckon.

i think Pompey is a great club man, generally reliable and rarely lets the team down, pre-suspension he wasnt setting the world on fire and we had 2 bad losses in a row.. i think it is totally reasonable that he doesnt come straight back in. AKP scored more in 2 games on the wing outside roger, than roger has all season outside of pompey.

Because the Storm refused to share it. That would have been the reasonable thing to do.

What club would be a good replacement fixture?

After having it in Melbourne only for so long, I don't mind it getting shared across different teams and different cities each year.

From a purely selfish Wellingtonian POV, having it in the capital vs Aussie capital Canberra (who sod play in Welly once or twice in the early 00s) makes sense from an ANZAC perspective.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

I wouldn't mind making the Broncs our future Anzac Day rivals. They are the obvious choice after all since they were our first opponent.

Good point we had a great rivalry with Storms Anzac clash they were great game's to look forward to.
We were competitive for a while too used to be Melbournes bogey team, We definitely need a stable Anzac game.
Also miss the kiwis Anzac game but thats a whole other story.

ANZAC the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Should always be a game in Australia and one in New Zealand. If NZ gets a second team then the ANZAC game should always be between the Warriors and that team.

Idk I think that the special part should be the warriors in NZ, like its not about the rival its NZ
