Dolphins Information & Squad List 2027
Hi All!
Welcome to the 2026 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.
New reddit now fixed and table will show up — shout out to ChatGPT for showing me where I shagged it.
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,

NOTES
'PO' = Player Option
'CO' = Club Option
'MO' = Mutual Option
'REL' = Released
'RET' = Retired
'UPG' = Upgrade - will be upgraded to Top 30 from Development Squad
Utility Roles:
- Utility Forward: Second-row / Lock / Prop
- Utility Half: Halfback / Five-eighth / Hooker
- Utility Back: Wing / Centre / Fullback
- Place Kicker: can be called upon to kick conversions
Position is based on preferred/most played first, then secondary roles. Data 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' - 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...).
Updated XX/XX/25: Done when I was supposed to be working because I'm an idiot that likes to put himself under pressure
