The upcoming NRL match between the Dolphins and Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night will showcase a compelling matchup between Wayne Bennett and his former pupil, Kristian Woolf.
According to nrl.com.au, this game is a part of a unique schedule influenced by Cyclone Alfred, following an earlier match between the Broncos and the Warriors.
Bennett was instrumental in establishing the Dolphins during their initial two seasons before passing the coaching responsibilities to Woolf, who has made a notable impression in his debut year.
Currently, the Dolphins rank ninth on the ladder and are looking to bounce back after a defeat to the Knights.
Similarly, the Rabbitohs have experienced heartbreak recently, suffering a loss to Melbourne in golden point.
Both teams have faced ongoing injury challenges throughout the season, and this clash represents a pivotal opportunity to kickstart their respective campaigns in pursuit of finals qualifications.
