Dolphins Team List: Round 18 v Knights
The Dolphins' winning streak faces another test in Round 18, with Kristian Woolf calling on the club's depth as they chase a ninth consecutive victory against the Knights after reshuffling his side due to State of Origin commitments and injury.
With Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow away on Origin duty, Trai Fuller returns at fullback.
Jake Averillo makes his long-awaited return in the centres after missing the past eight matches with the hand injury he suffered in Round 8. He replaces Jack Bostock, who is set to make his State of Origin debut.
Tevita Naufahu comes onto the wing in place of Selwyn Cobbo, while Brad Schneider slots into the halves to replace Isaiya Katoa, who sustained a fractured wrist in last weekend’s win over the Warriors.
Francis Molo and Felise Kaufusi have been named to start in the front row, while Tom Gilbert returns after missing last week’s match with a minor throat injury.
Young gun Brian Pouniu has earned a place on the interchange bench, with Sebastian Su’a and John Fineanganofo named as the 18th and 19th men.
