NRL: The NRL 360 panel discuss if Kristian Woolf can have a successful takeover of the Dolphins after Wayne Bennett departs the club.
NRL legend Corey Parker believes the Dolphins ’ early-season byes gave the false perception Wayne Bennett ’s men were travelling better than they really were.
“The Cowboys were sitting in 12th position, and they didn’t have a bye until Round 16. Now all of a sudden, the Cowboys have found a couple of wins, had a couple of byes, and they’ve just leapfrogged a bunch of teams.”Conversely, the Cowboys didn’t receive a bye until Round 16 before picking up two more in Rounds 19 and 25 to now sit sixth on the ladder.
“I don’t think anyone at the start of the season had the Dolphins fifth or sixth or seventh, but rather they had them around where they are right now.” “It’s just stupid. It’s absolute stupidity to have 2 points for a bye. It lulls teams and fans into a false sense of security.” The Dolphins had limited time to put together their team before entering the competition last year with Bennett structuring a roster balanced with youth and experience.“Now when they handpicked veteran guys like Kaufusi and Jesse Bromwich and Kenny Bromwich and Nicholls, they did it for a reason, right?,” he said.
