A unique brand of loyalty exists in rugby league that often goes unseen in highlight reels.
Since the Dolphins began their journey in 2023, Jamayne Isaako has been an integral part of the team, witnessing every pivotal moment.
He was present for the club's historic first win, a surprising triumph over the Sydney Roosters in the opening round, and he has not missed a game since then.
"I have played every game, and I don't plan on missing one until my time is finished here at the Dolphins," Isaako expressed candidly to the media on Monday.
"If there is anything that I've done for this club, it is score tries and kick goals, and I've done that to the best of my ability."
This declaration is a testament to his dedication and reflects the spirit of a player who has poured his heart into a team he helped establish.
The confirmation of his departure at season's end brings a mix of emotions, serving as a reminder that all good journeys eventually reach a conclusion.
At 32, Isaako is set to join the Melbourne Storm next season on a two-year contract.
He approaches this final phase with the same composed determination that has characterized his entire career.
