NRL: Dolphins snap up pointscoring machine Jamayne Isaako
The NRL’s newest team has snapped up a key player from their local rivals as Wayne Bennett continues to build a roster ahead of 2023.

Not a bad signing.


Always a Bulldog

It's a pretty obvious signing for the Dolphins. I think Bennett will be able to get the best out of him again but he's definitely lost himself over the last ~2 years. There is talent there to work with. I still have that last seconds match winner against the Roosters in my mind.

 

[D0GMATIC]

He is a Decent signing, that wouldn't have had an exorbitant price tag.

 

[Bob dog]

Have my doubts over the Dolphins concept, its going to take years.

Flanagan to Isaako has a nice ring to it.

Make it happen Redcliffe!!!!!!!

 

[CroydonDog]

Good signing

 

[alchemist]

Isaako is not a bad signing but I think he is better on the wing than at fullback

 

[Moedogg]

Winger that thinks he's a fullback.

 

[B-Train]

He's a decent player but is pretty bad when your only three signings are Kaufusi, Stone and Isaako after having two months to sign players a full cap to spend..

Better than Allan, who thinks he’s a first grader

Demonstrably Bennett also believes that Allan is “a first grader” and the Qld selectors thought he was worthy of an SOO selection (whatever the circumstances).

2022 is a new season and I am prepared to give every player a chance to show that 2021 was an aberration. Now, surrounded by some strike players, those who appeared unworthy will revert to their previous high standards.

Same as how Ben Robert’s was once the NZ halfback by default?

He was the best option available purely for plugging onto a backline that had Cody Walker in form.

Sure, he can have a shot in 2022 in my books... starting in Ron Massey

The construction of a roster may gain momentum for the Dolphins. But it's not a secret that the player pool is severely limited in quality since most teams don't even financially support NSW/Qld cup sides or other junior production resources.

We used to produce loads of quality because the game was widely played both in the city and in the country. The town I live in once had 4 teams across 2 grades. We now have just 1 team and they struggle to be competitive. The NRL needed to throw resources at the lowest levels of the game when the sponsorship deals grew. But it's losing ground to other sports.

Day 77 of waiting for them to sign Flanagan.

Haha you hope so

Soccer has grown more and also kids are more into playing playstation and xbox while we were growing up we'd be playing footy in our backyards or playing on the weekends club footy.

Good place for Lachlan Lewis, they gotta start somewhere
