Max Plath and Ray Stone provide a timely boost for the Dolphins as they return to Suncorp Stadium this Sunday for a XXXX Derby clash against the Titans.
After a high-scoring season opener against the Rabbitohs, the Dolphins will be eager to bounce back in front of their home crowd following the 40–30 defeat in Round 1.
Head Coach Kristian Woolf has backed the same starting side that took the field last weekend, showing confidence in the group ahead of the derby clash.
Brad Schneider starts at hooker, continuing his role in the spine.
Woolf has made adjustments to the interchange bench, with Plath and Stone named to join the rotation.
Plath returns to the NRL side for the first time since suffering an ACL injury in Round 14 of the 2025 season. The forward made a successful comeback through the Redcliffe Dolphins in the Queensland Cup last weekend and has been named at No.14 for Sunday’s clash.
Stone also returns after recovering from his off-season shoulder surgery and will add valuable impact through the middle rotation.
Trai Fuller and Sebastian Su’a have been named as the 18th and 19th men.
Kick-off for Sunday’s clash is set for 5:15pm, with the Dolphins aiming to secure their first win of the 2026 season.
