- After earning a penalty 35 metres out with just over two minutes remaining, the Dolphins rejected a levelled kick to pursue a match-winning try.
- Centre Herbie Farnworth, who opened the scoring in the fourth minute, pulled up clutching his hamstring and will have scans in Brisbane to determine the severity of the tear.
