Anthony Milford will join a host of NRL-experienced playing their first game in the Dolphins colours this weekend.

The Dolphins have released their team for Sunday’s NRL trial against the Cowboys in Cairns, with Milford to join young talent Isaiya Katoa in the halves.

Ten players with previous NRL experience will play for the Dolphins in the match at Barlow Park.

Former Bronco Tesi Niu will get first crack at securing a position in the centres alongside ex-Warrior utility Euan Aitken.

Jamayne Isaako will play at his favoured position of fullback, with Great Britain international Oliver Gildart to start on the wing.

Jarrod Wallace and Herman Ese’ese played together at the Titans and will give the Dolphins experience up front.

Workhorse Ray Stone will play his first match since injuring his knee scoring a try for the Eels in the early rounds of last year.

Ex-Dragon Poasa Faamausili will play off the extended bench while Connelly Lemuelu will suit up for his first match as a Dolphins against his old club in North Queensland.

Young hooker Harrison Graham will get another chance to impress after becoming the first player to score a try for the Dolphins in their trial win over the Central Capras last weekend.

Sunday’s match will kick off at 5pm (Qld time) and will be televised on Foxtel and Kayo Sports.
