NRL 2022: Dolphins debut season, Wayne Bennett, Redcliffe Dolphins, wooden spoon, ladder, Brisbane Broncos, rivalry, news

Wayne Bennett talks about the Redcliffe Dolphins and Brisbane Broncos rivalry.

Redcliffe Dolphins are the NRL's newest franchise. Wayne Bennett is convinced they won't be the wooden spoon in their debut season. Bennett believes the rivalry between the Dolphins and Brisbane Broncos will be great for the game. The 72-year-old built the Broncos' roster in 1988 for their first season and believes recruitment process has been different this time around. The expansion team has five spots in the Top 30 to lock in for inaugural season with players on train-and-trials over pre-season. They have signed experienced players, rising star Isaiya Katoa and speedster Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.
