The Dolphins will return home in Round 3 to play in front of a heaving sold-out Kayo Stadium to face the Wests Tigers in their home opener this Saturday at 4:30 pm.

Following a challenging fortnight to start the season, with preparations for the side's first two games interrupted by Tropical Cyclone Alfred, Dolphins head coach Kristian Woolf has elected to name an unchanged side to take on the Tigers.

Instead, relying on the team's resilience and grit forged during the preseason to secure their first win of the season.

Isiaya Katoa will be looking to personify this sentiment and continue to build upon the start of his third NRL season after a strong performance in last week's loss.

When addressing the media this week, veteran forward Felise Kaufusi acknowledged the teams and his own shortcomings in the first two games.

He also highlighted that discipline is a key area of focus for the Dolphins this week and believes the team is on track to get their first win of the season in front of a home crowd this weekend.
