Felise Kaufusi will be available after serving his four game suspension. It's a timely inclusion as Kenny Bromwich is facing a one week suspension for his hit on Taane Milne.

Tesi Niu (knee) and Jarrod Wallace (concussion) should also be available for the clash.

I think we win this one

 

[Big Pete]

Teams are in.

Kaufusi and Wallace return, but no sign of Niu.

Should be a good test for the Dolphins. The Titans have plenty of points in them but struggle to play the full 80. Whereas The Dolphins have been fairly tenacious and will be looking to bounce back after a forgettable second half performance against the Bunnies.

Dolphins 28 (Robert Jennings 2, Mark Nicholls, Jarrod Wallace, Euan Aitken tries; Jamayne Isaako 5/6 goals) def. Gold Coast Titans 26

5-3

Phins Up!

Down 26-0 in nearly as many minutes only to come back and take the lead with six minutes remaining.

Wallace led the charge for the Dolphins and was sensational off the bench. He was one of the best players on the field against the Broncos as well so he has a knack against his former club.

The win equalled the NRL record for the biggest comeback win in the NRL-era history. In Round 12 1998 the North Queensland Cowboys came back from 26-0 down from half-time to win 36-28 against the Penrith Panthers.

Is anyone elses blood pressure higher than usual?

Great resilience shown!

Man what a ride this has been so far this year, long may it continue…

 

[Puff]

Phins up boys.

Never had a doubt

Loving seeing this side always playing.

26 down we kept playing. Other teams would crumble.

everyone doubted us.

It’s been great watching them.
