Ray Stone will be rushed back for the Dolphins’ clash with the Roosters in Sydney on Saturday.

The tough-as-teak forward will make a typical early return from a broken hand suffered against the Panthers in round 20.

Stone comes onto the interchange list at the expense of Herman Ese’ese, who will go back to 18th man.

Sean O’Sullivan and Isaiya Katoa will again start in the halves, with Anthony Milford waiting in the wings in an impact role off the bench.

Kodi Nikorima has been named at fullback, with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow in the centres.

The Dolphins have named the same starting pack that just went down to the Knights in Perth last weekend.

Meanwhile, the legend of Arthur Beetson will again be honoured by the two clubs during the match at Allianz Stadium.

The player of the game will be awarded the Artie Legacy Medal, which was won by Felise Kaufusi when the two teams met in March during the Dolphins’ stunning opening-round victory.
