Lemuelu extends until 2026

The Dolphins have secured another key piece of their forward pack, with back-rower Connelly Lemuelu committing to the club for at least another two seasons.

Lemuelu, who joined the Dolphins for their inaugural NRL campaign, has been a regular fixture for the club with 41 games over two seasons and is signed until the end of the 2026 NRL season.

The 25-year-old leads a promising crop of second-row talent at the Dolphins, including Kulikefu Finefeuaki, Oryn Keeley, and James Walsh.

Together, they form a dynamic and competitive forward rotation, highlighting the squad's growing depth and potential.

Lemuelu's contract extension comes as the Dolphins ramp up preparations for the 2025 season under the guidance of newly appointed head coach Kristian Woolf.

"Connelly is the type of person we want to continue to build the club around," said Woolf.

"I see him as an elite talent with his best football still ahead of him."
