The Dolphins NRLQ Under 21s return home to Kayo Stadium on Saturday afternoon for a blockbuster clash with the Broncos, with both sides looking to break the deadlock after their last meeting ended in a thrilling 32-32 draw.

The Dolphins claimed the first meeting between the two teams this season with a 20-12 victory, and after neither side could be separated in Round 6, Saturday’s clash presents another opportunity to gain the upper hand in the season series.

There are a handful of changes to the side from last week’s clash with the Titans.

Tyreece Tait returns on the wing, while Kilarney Lavender comes back into the starting second row.

Lauloto Salei returns to the starting side at lock after coming off the interchange last week, with Baylen Donald shifting back to the bench. Jacob Morton also joins the interchange after starting in the back row in Round 8.

The Dolphins will be looking to bounce back in front of their home crowd when they host the Broncos at Kayo Stadium on Saturday, July 18, with kick-off at 2:00pm.

It promises to be another exciting contest between two evenly matched sides, with the Dolphins aiming to build on their earlier win over the Broncos and secure a second victory in the rivalry this season.
