Overview

  • On the final tackle in the 79th minute, Jeremy Marshall-King’s long pass found Jamayne Isaako, who scored to overturn an 18-16 deficit and secure the 20-18 win at Go Media Stadium.
  • 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.
  • The comeback victory moved the Dolphins back into eighth place on the NRL ladder, giving their finals hopes a significant boost with only a handful of rounds left.
  • The team will look to sustain momentum by managing key injuries and integrating returning playmaker Kodi Nikorima as they fend off challenges from Manly and the Sydney Roosters.
