In tonight's highly anticipated XXXX Derby between the Dolphins and the Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium, the Dolphins will be making two crucial changes to their lineup.
According to reports from dolphinsnrl.com.au, Captain Jesse Bromwich will be sitting out the game due to a groin injury sustained in last week's clash against the Tigers.
Bromwich's absence will undoubtedly be felt by his teammates, as he is a key figure in their forward pack.
However, the Dolphins have a capable replacement in Jarrod Wallace, who will step into the starting side at prop.
Wallace will be tasked with providing the team with the necessary go-forward in the middle of the field.
Another significant change for the Dolphins comes in the form of Robert Jennings' absence from the centres.
Jennings is sidelined due to a recurring knee complaint, which opens the door for Euan Aitken to be promoted from the bench.
Aitken will be eager to make his mark on the game and showcase his skills in the backline.
In addition to these changes, Isaiya Katoa and JJ Collins will both be brought into the 17-man squad for tonight's match.
Their inclusion adds depth and versatility to the Dolphins' lineup, providing options for the coaching staff as the game progresses.
With these changes in place, the Dolphins will be looking to overcome the Cowboys and secure a crucial victory.
The match is set to kick off at 8pm, and fans can expect an intense battle between these two Queensland rivals.
