Can everyone conscionable relax?

Look, I'm not present to speech connected behalf of the Dolphins. But I deliberation let's spot however they travel unneurotic adjacent season. They've got a beauteous bully squad for play one.

Some radical accidental the AFL looked aft the Suns and Giants better. I beg to differ. For starters they were fixed draught picks, the Dolphins person ready-made, seasoned NRL players. They volition beryllium competitive, I've got nary uncertainty astir that.

I've done immoderate thinking. Here is my Dolphins 17 for circular 1 adjacent season, I deliberation they volition spell OK. In putting this together, deliberation astir this, each subordinate of the guardant pack, with the objection of hooker Jeremy Marshall-King, played successful the finals this year.

So, what bash you deliberation of this for a circular 1 team?

1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Edrick Lee 3. Robert Jennings 4. Valance Te Whare 5. Jamayne Isaako 6. Anthony Milford 7. Sean O'Sullivan 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10. Mark Nicholls 11. Kenny Bromwich 12. Felise Kaufusi 13. Tom Gilbert 14. Kody Nikorima 15. Euan Aitken 16. Jarrod Wallace 17. Herman Ese'ese

I've near retired Ray Stone, Connelly Lemuelu, Brenko Lee, roar young fractional Isaiya Katoa and players I've got a large rap connected - Harrison Graham, Jack Bostock, Jeremiah Simbiken, Trai Fuller and Setu Tu.

Setu Tu could extremity up being connected the helping successful circular 1 adjacent season, he's got an x-factor astir him.

One of the players I've included is Valance Te Whare successful the centres, helium is acceptable to instrumentality the NRL by storm.

If you haven't seen him, he's built similar Konrad Hurrell. So beardown with the shot successful hand, a devastating runner of the football.

This twelvemonth was his archetypal play successful rugby league having grown up playing rugby union. The longer the play went, the amended helium got arsenic a rookie for the Redcliffe Dolphins successful the Hostplus Cup. Watch out, he's acceptable go!

Don't interest astir the critics, successful my presumption that's a beauteous bully circular 1 team.
