Thomas Flegler's decision to sign with the Dolphins for 2024 was influenced by Wayne Bennett's simple yet powerful message, "We want you." This declaration from the veteran Dolphins coach resonated with the hard-hitting prop and solidified his decision to make the switch.
Flegler's move to the Dolphins is one of the notable transfers in 2024, following an impressive season at the Broncos where he earned a spot in the Queensland State of Origin team under Billy Slater's guidance.
Flegler's impact as part of the middle third rotation at the Broncos, alongside fellow Origin players Patrick Carrigan and Payne Haas, helped elevate the Red Hill-based team to the top four.
However, their quest for a premiership fell short in the grand final against the Penrith Panthers.
Despite this setback, Flegler is fully focused on his upcoming debut season with the Dolphins.
With expectations of leading the forward pack, he is working hard to propel the club towards their first finals appearance.
