Dolphins’ members and fans will not wait long to witness the return of the team's inaugural head coach Wayne Bennett with the Rabbitohs to visit Suncorp Stadium in the opening round of the 2025 NRL season.
In a match date released early ahead of the official 2025 draw, the newest era of the Dolphins will collide with the club's foundation coach in a blockbuster on Friday March 7.
An electrifying atmosphere will be ensured as the two clubs meet for the third time ever in a match, which will be a prime-time treat at the inner-city home of the Dolphins.
Under the leadership of new head coach Kristian Woolf, the Dolphins will be eager to start the new season with a win.
The teams have shared victories in their two previous encounters, with the Dolphins triumphing in their latest clash— a 36-28 win earlier this year.

"This will be a big game to open the season with a strong crowd expected," said Woolf.
I know it will be one that the players will be excited for, and no doubt our Dolphins’ members and fans will feel the same way.
