Real or Not Dolphins Broncos one of rugby leagues great rivalries (ESPN Australia)

This week we take a look at the rivalry between the Dolphins and Broncos, consider speculation that Joseph Suaali'i will be playing rugby in 2025 and decide ...

Obviously the NRL is concerned with reducing the impact of concussions on its players through stamping out unnecessary hits, but I feel the panel got this one wrong and a fine and strong warning would have sufficed. NOT REAL: Felise Kaufusi and the Dolphins legal team headed down to Sydney on Tuesday night to face the NRL Tribunal. Tedesco only recently extended his stay to the end of 2025, something that will no doubt play a part in Suaali'i's decision making. Suaali'i, tellingly, signed a one-year deal with the Roosters for 2024, leaving many to think that 2025 will see him pushing for a Wallabies jersey as he takes to the field for the Waratahs. Add to the story the key ingredient of one Wayne Bennett, the super coach so heavily associated with all the historical success of the Broncos, before his bitter split from the club, and you have one helluva storyline. Ever since the Broncos entered the national competition back in 1987, there have been two kinds of rugby league fan in Brisbane; those that jumped on board the Broncos bandwagon and those that stuck to their old Queensland Rugby League teams and/or their other favourite NRL teams.

“When I’m out there talking to him, or looking for someone to take a carry, he’s the one who always puts his hand up. “I’m having fun, I’m enjoying the ride. “We don’t really hear or see anything about Redcliffe, I’ve never seen a Redcliffe jersey in town, and they’re still about 45 minutes out of Brisbane,” Reynolds told the Herald. Families talk about pure hate and what went on back in the day. “I’d love to repay this club for having trust in me.” “When you’re a part of the Souths and Roosters rivalry, you’re born to hate the other.

“It is nearly 30 years since we had KPMG look at affordability of being in what was then the NSWRL and whether we could afford a team. “It would be wonderful,” Jones said. We are excited and a bit nervous They wanted us to be Plan B. “They told us to make sure were in a position if needed and we did, but the team that was teetering got themselves out of trouble and they are going okay today, so that didn’t come to fruition.” “We never applied previously but we had a couple of meetings with the NRL – a couple we instigated and a little while back one of the teams was teetering so they flew myself and our CEO down to Sydney to see how we were positioned, and if we were ready,” Jones said.

Former Bronco Tate talks of his affection for the new Dolphins (SEN)

Former Queensland and Australian representative Brent Tate has talked about his special affection for the NRL's newest club the Dolphins.

“Obviously, it’s a huge clash against Brisbane, it’s going to be their biggest test so far because I think Brisbane are obviously flying at the moment. It’s going to be a State of Origin style atmosphere at Suncorp Stadium and it’s one of the most anticipated home and away games of all time. “I think that the start that they’ve had and the way they’ve played and gone about their footy, I think they’ve won the hearts of a lot of people that are on the fence with rugby league and they’ve watched the Dolphins, watched how they’ve gone about their business, it’s captured the heart of the rugby league world.”

Walters and the Broncos too have dreams of a premiership; of rediscovering those now fading glory days — the same ones that always lingered in the background before Anthony Seibold’s exit from Red Hill. “They play patient but they drill through the middle. We are the big dogs, we don’t let anyone in’, and all of a sudden they don’t get an even share of statistics — the game, possession, ball, errors, missed tackles — that brings the Dolphins into play,” Cronk added. “Because we’ve seen what they’ve been able to do in the first three games. And already this year, Walters has done well to find the right balance. “Because on paper, player-for-player, strength-for-strength, the Broncos are set. “There’s always that, not just this week but every week when you’re the Broncos. “My role at the club is to coach the boys. “I’ve known Wayne for nearly 40 years — I was doing the math the other night. The latest chapter in a 40-year relationship that included five premierships. But I understand there’s a lot of news around about this week’s game and it’s great for the game. But it seems, at least based on Walters’ comments throughout the week, that there’s no need to worry.
