Highlights Latest

This late-season showdown promises to be the biggest game in club rugby league, with both Brisbane teams going head-to-head in a game that could determine if either is to secure a finals birth.

The Dolphins have made a number of changes to their side ahead of the match, most notably, Mark Nicholls being named captain.

Nicholls will take on the captaincy in Jesse Bromwich's absence due to concussion protocols.

Kodi Nikorima will also miss the game due to concussion protocols, which will see Sean O’Sullivan move from the bench to the starting five-eighth role.

Mason Teague will return to the side on the interchange, having been 18th man and the concussion substitute in round 24.

Teague, who can cover various positions in the forward pack, has built successful season with the Dolphins’ affiliate club, Norths Devils, helping them finish second in the Hostplus Cup regular season.

Dolphins’ utility, Kurt Donoghoe, will fill the final interchange position with O’Sullivan starting, marking the Fijian international's first NRL game since round 19.

Lachlan Hubner has been named as 18th man.
