Hammer back as Dolphins shuffle for Sea Eagles

The Hammer is back for the Dolphins after Queensland Origin hero Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow was named to face the Sea Eagles on Friday night.

Tabuai-Fidow will assume his role at fullback, with Kodi Nikorima to go back to the five-eighth position he has played so well in over the past month.

Anthony Milford is out after taking a three-week suspension yesterday.

With Jarrod Wallace also on a ban, Poasa Faamausili will start in the front row, while Herman Ese’ese goes back to the bench with Mark Nicholls.

Utility Kurt Donoghoe will provide cover from an interchange list that also includes Valynce Te Whare.

Last week’s debutant Max Plath has been named as the 18th man after playing solidly against the Warriors.

The Dolphins will train in Sydney on Thursday ahead of the match at Brookvale.
