Head coach Kristian Woolf has named an experienced squad, with many players likely to retain their spots for round one of the NRL regular season.

Felise Kaufusi will lead the team as captain from the front row, joined by exciting recruit Daniel Saifiti, who will make his first appearance in a Dolphins jersey.

Another fresh face, Kulikefu Finefeuiaki, is also set for his first Dolphins match, starting in the second row alongside Tom Gilbert, making his long-awaited return.

Isaiya Katoa and Kodi Nikorima will partner in the halves, with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Kurt Donoghoe completing the spine at fullback and hooker.

The extended bench features key forwards Mark Nicholls, Ray Stone, and Connelly Lemuelu, while young talents Aublix Tawha, Tevita Naufahu, and LJ Nonu—who have impressed throughout the pre-season—will round out the squad.

The trio are the only Dolphins development players to have featured in all trial matches.
