Dolphins Swimming Along

The Redcliffe Dolphins are finishing their fourth week of pre-season training with strength and conditioning Coach Tony Guilfoyle putting the squads through some grueling sessions. ?It?s a good mix between skills and conditioning? Guilfoyle said. ?The boys are really working hard, for themselves and for each other, a couple of them are really stepping up and taking leadership roles within their groups which is good to see? he said.
?Physically all the boys from last year are stronger than they were twelve months ago at this same time and I believe mentally as well, if they can beat the little man in their head that?s half the battle? Guilfoyle added.

The Dolphins have also added a few more new players to their roster former Melbourne Storm half back Marty Turner joins the club from Oldham in England, Adam Fletcher an outside back from Sydney Wests, Ricky Thorby who comes highly recommended from Innisfail he can play in the back row or front row. Matt Anderton the 2005 A grade captain has also re-signed, a member of the 2003 Qld Cup premiership side he is keen to press for selection in the top side again. The Colts squad has also been strengthened with the signings of Jacob Marketo a back rower from the Sunshine Coast, Logan Sullivan from Dysart, Michael Wilson and Philip Daisy the son of Foley Shield legend Vern from Townsville.

Matt Gruszka after starting training with the Dolphins is off to Sydney on a three month trial with Cronulla hopefully the ?Polish Express? will impress Sharks Coach Stuart Raper and earn himself a contract with the Sharks.

Also there is another addition to the Dolphins coaching staff with former Central Queensland player Paul White taking the vacant assistant coach?s position that was held by Grant Cleal last season.
