The Dolphins have a backline spot to fill too after Herbie Farnworth suffered a shoulder injury. Tesi Niu and Valynce Te Whare will come into contention to slot into the centres. Niu scored a try, got a linebreak and ran 141 metres for Norths Devils, while Te Whare got 147 metres and two tackle busts for the Dolphins in Queensland Cup. Both made nine tackles each, but Niu missed five and Te Whare missed two.
Still on the Dolphins, Anthony Milford returned from a hamstring injury via the CQ Capras. He set up a try, got a tackle bust, ran 65 metres and made 12 tackles with one miss.
Super-impressive stats for both Tessi and Val.
