Dolphins Team List: Round 10 v Eels

The Dolphins will travel to Sydney in Round 10 to face the Eels at CommBank Stadium this Thursday night at 7:50 PM, marking the opening match of the round.

Following last week's Magic Round loss to the Roosters, Dolphins Head Coach Kristian Woolf has made two changes to the team, highlighted by the return of Felise Kaufusi.

Kaufusi was expected to return from injury last week but was ruled out after failing to pass a fitness test at the captain's run. His return will see Mark Nicholls move from the starting lineup to the interchange bench, while Oryn Keeley will shift to the extended squad in jersey number 19.

Dynamic utility player Kurt Donoghoe also returns, starting at hooker for the first time since Round 3 of 2023.

Donoghoe's inclusion comes as a result of injuries to Jeremy Marshall-King, who will miss the game due to complications related to a cut received earlier this season, and Max Plath.

Harrison Graham has been named as the 18th man.
