Dolphins Information & Squad List 2025
Hi All!
Welcome to the 2025 Squad list!
If you're viewing this on mobile, please press 'View Formatted Table' turn your phone sideways and get the full effect of the CSS coding; otherwise it's going to look very weird indeed.
If on computer, please view this in (old.reddit.com) as the initial table buggers up for some reason. I think it has to do with having two tables in the one post and them being different sizes, same goes for 'new' reddit.
Suggestions and rumours are always welcome, I update this almost on a daily basis with new info that comes out or with extra info I think will help.
Enjoy,

'RET' = Retired - Player has retired\will retire from Rugby League
'UPG' = Upgrade - Player will be upgraded to Top 30 from Development Squad
'Utility' Roles explained:
Player needs to have the ability to play three roles in chosen field if required and plays predominantly 'off the bench' or interchange.
'Utility Forward' - Second-row, Lock and Prop
'Utility Half' - Halfback, Five-eighth and Hooker
'Utility Back' - Wing, Centre and Fullback
'Place Kicker' - Can be called upon to kick conversions
Position is based on preferred/most played first then what they have been able to play second. Data was correlated between Dolphins Official and Zero Tackle.
Representative is dual with NZ if they have not played at Tier 1 level yet and therefore qualify for both as they have yet to decide.
QLD/NSW 'Residents' - is an open division team made up of Tier 2 players in state leagues who have played the majority of their games for a tier 2 team (Northern Pride, Redcliffe, Blacktown Workers, Newtown Jets etc...).
