The Dolphins return from a bye as they face the Panthers in Darwin this Friday night.
Kristian Woolf's team has reflected on their recent losses to the Broncos and Sea Eagles, being outscored 78-30.
While their scoring ability is strong, the Dolphins need to tighten their defense to avoid a tough night against a Panthers team eager for a rebound after their loss to the Bulldogs.
The Panthers had a few key players underperform in their 32-16 defeat, but they typically bounce back well, so expect Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo to lead a strong response.
In their last encounter in Round 6, 2025, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow dazzled with 256 meters and a hat-trick, guiding the Woolf-led squad to a 30-12 victory.
