The emerging talent of the Dolphins' development and academy system will take centre stage in the newly announced NRLQ under-20 development series starting this weekend.
Announced today as a 6-week home-and-away round-robin competition contested between under-20s sides for all four Queensland-based NRL teams, taking place across three two-week blocks.
The competition aims to enhance elite development pathways by addressing the current void for Queensland-based NRL clubs following the conclusion of the QRL's 2025 junior representative competitions, including the Mal Meninga Cup Under 19s competition and related representative games.
The Dolphins' side will play their first match this weekend against the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium, kicking off at 12:35 pm.
Throughout the competition, a number of the games will form part of the game days for NRL fixtures, including the Dolphins' U20 side's final game at Suncorp Stadium on the 9th of August, taking place before the Dolphins and Roosters NRL fixture.
Kayo Stadium will host the Dolphins' two additional home games on the 5th and 27th of July.
