Highlights Latest

Both teams have their eyes firmly set on the last spot in the top 8, and the game presents a simple equation: the winner plays finals football.

Riding high after their 40-6 victory in the Battle for Brisbane, the Dolphins will make three changes to their lineup.

Jesse Bromwich and Kodi Nikorima are back after missing round 26 due to concussion protocols.

Bromwich returns as captain, starting in the front row, while Nikorima is named on the bench in a utility role.

Mark Nicholls will move back to the bench with Bromwich's return, while Kenny Bromwich is set to start at lock.

Dolphins’ enforcer Felise Kaufusi has been included in the squad but will face the NRL judiciary tonight in hopes of having a dangerous contact charge downgraded in a bid to be available for the game.

Lachlan Hubner has been named as 18th man.
