Dolphins Team List: Round 23 v Roosters
Fresh off a gritty win, the Dolphins will look to bring that momentum back home when they host the Roosters this Saturday, but will have to do so without a few key players.
After in-form centre Herbie Farnworth was ruled out with a hamstring injury, coach Kristian Woolf has named young gun Tevita Naufahu in Farnworth's place for just his third NRL appearance.
The Dolphins will also be without captain Felise Kaufusi after he received a two-match suspension, bringing Mark Nicholls into the starting side.

Both teams have plenty to play for with just two points separating them on the ladder. A win this Saturday would see the eighth-placed Dolphins create a crucial four-point buffer over the ninth-placed Roosters.
