Jeremy Marshall-King is back for the Dolphins while ‘The Hammer’ is again number one for Sunday’s important clash with the Bulldogs in Bundaberg.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow will play at his preferred position of fullback with Dolphins’ coach Wayne Bennett effecting a backline re-shuffle.
Kodi Nikorima will start at five-eighth, with Anthony Milford to play in an impact role off the bench.
Valynce Te Whare will start in the centres, with Tesi Niu brought back onto the wing.
Young star Isaiya Katoa has been named at 18th man, handed a break after playing in all but one of the Dolphins’ matches in his rookie year in the NRL.
Marshall-King’s return is a big one.
He is a vital cog in the Dolphins’ machine and has been missing since re-injuring a shoulder against the Broncos, only playing in two of the team’s last six matches.
Lock Ray Stone will be out for at least another couple of games after breaking his hand in the Dolphins’ last game against the Panthers.
Kenny Bromwich will start at lock in Stone’s place, with Josh Kerr coming onto the bench.
