This is the youngest spine in the competition.

Got a good young full pack coming through as well.

So it just depends what lens you want to look at it compared to the minor premiership last year.

I just think that some people are allowing the minor premiership to think like they're holding that against them as if they were further along than they really were.

When in reality, we're talking about a young as shit spine.

Clearly not.

Yeah, not really.

It just looks like a vintage cup, something that when New South Wales used to be good at footing.

No way, no way.

Especially in this new game where you need to be able to attack and attack well to put points on.

When you get that momentum swing, you need to be able to score quickly so that you actually take advantage of that momentum swing.

The Dolphins are almost the best at that.

Mate, I love what I'm seeing in the Dolphins.

And I think when you actually sit down and go, okay, because the Dolphins are new in the competition, I don't think people are, obviously there are, you know, the core audience of Rugby League that get it.

But I think there's a more casual audience of Rugby League that when you actually look at their team, okay, so JMK at nine, that's the New Zealand number nine or at the very least has played New Zealand.

You've got Max Plath, Flegler, and Gilbert as your 13, 8, and 10.

Then you've got Finifu Aki, who is now an origin player, essentially.

And then you've also got Lemuelu, who, you know, he's playing outstanding.

He's the only player where you could question as to whether they're origin level is probably Lemuelu, and he's outstanding.

Then you go to their back line and you've got Selwyn Copper, Origin player, Asako, New Zealand player.
