Several Dolphins in waiting are set to star at the Rugby League World Cup that starts in England next month.
Qualified countries started releasing their extended squads this week that gives Dolphins fans an idea of who could be playing in the tournament that will take place in the north of England.
The Bromwich brothers, Jesse and Kenny, were named in the New Zealand squad and are certainties to make the final cut.
Dolphins’ recruits Jeremy Marshall-King and Kodi Nikorima are both in line to also make the Kiwis’ team when considering their versatility.
Both can play hooker as well as in the halves, while Nikorima can also play fullback.
Marshall-King had his best year in the NRL this season, playing all 24 matches for the Bulldogs and winning their Player of the Year award.
Felise Kaufusi has been named in the Tongan squad and will travel to England to be part of the tournament.
Dolphins’ recruit Isaiya Katoa, who is just 18 but is the Australian Schoolboys halfback, is also a chance to make the final cut for Tonga, who will be coached by Dolphins’ assistant coach Kristian Woolf.
With some squads still to be named, other Dolphins players are also on the radar for the tournament.
Tom Gilbert could be a bolter for the Australian team considering his role in the Cowboys’ run to the preliminary final.
Anthony Milford has also been selected for Samoa, while Euan Aitken has been named in the Scotland squad.
Redcliffe Dolphins Hostplus Cup second rower Jeremiah Simbiken, who has signed an NRL contract for next year, has been named with the Papua New Guinea team putting him in line for his International debut.
