Dolphins Debut Marks New Chapter for Flegler

Thomas Flegler is set to embark on a new chapter in his NRL career when he makes his debut for the Redcliffe Dolphins. After four seasons with the Brisbane Broncos, Flegler has inked a four-year deal with the expansion club.

Brisbane Coach Concedes More Shakeups

Brisbane coach Kevin Walters has acknowledged that additional high-profile players could be forced out of the club as it navigates salary cap pressures. The Dolphins' recruitment drive has put pressure on the Broncos' roster, with Flegler among several players to depart.

Flegler's Origin Journey and Papalii's Absence

Flegler's move to the Dolphins also coincides with a change in Queensland's Origin team. With Josh Papalii unavailable due to injury, Flegler could be in the frame to make his Origin debut in 2023. Queensland will face a significant challenge in replacing Papalii's experience and ability.

Contract Information and NRL Stats

Flegler's contract with the Dolphins is reportedly worth $700,000 per season. The prop forward has played 103 NRL games and represented the Queensland Maroons on five occasions.

In 2022, Flegler played 24 games for the Broncos, averaging 119 run meters and 37 tackles per game. He has won the Broncos' Rookie of the Year award and was part of Brisbane's 2020 NRL Grand Final squad.
