The NRLQ Under 20 competition returns for Round 3 this weekend, with the Dolphins on the road for the third consecutive match, facing off against the Broncos on Sunday, 12:15 PM, at BMD Kougari Oval.
Following their exciting start to the series, the Dolphins will be looking to close out the first half of the competition with an unbeaten record despite five team changes.
Head Coach Scott Murray will be without Queensland Under 19's origin representative, Zac Garton, but will welcome back fellow state representative Kilarney Lavender, who will start alongside Queensland teammate Jac Finigan in the second row.
Halfback Noah Fien returns to the side after missing Round 2, which will see speedster Brooklyn Sabine shift to five-eighth and Lachlan Buchbach move to the interchange bench.
Front rower Elijah Rasmussen will make his NRLQ debut, starting in the front row, with the promising forward bringing experience to the side as a member of the Dolphins' full-time NRL training group and the Capras HostPlus cup side.
Mereki Warradoo and Joshua Nilon will also make their first appearance for the Dolphins NRLQ side, with Warradoo lining up on the left wing and Nilon providing impact as a bench forward.
