On the day the Dolphins launched their first pre-season, coach Wayne Bennett has declared the new club will not be wooden spooners under his watch
Bennett said the Dolphins would forge a cross-town rivalry with Brisbane to match that of the Manchester derby in the Premier League.
Bennett, Brisbane’s foundation coach in 1988, said the Dolphins’ rivalry with their near neighbours had the potential to rival the world’s great derbies. “If you look at the script of what we did at the Broncos in 1988, it won’t be much different to what we do here in 2023.”
