Dolphins on fire, Tigers beware: Magic Round showdown

Wests Tigers v Dolphins: Twal, Seyfarth step up; Hammer returns

LeagueNews.co | Robbie Hamilton

The Dolphins of dolphinsnrl.com.au are on fire, winning four games in a row and cementing their place as one of the NRL's top teams.

They'll be looking to make it five in a row when they take on the Wests Tigers to close out Magic Round on Sunday.

After a hard-fought win against the Sea Eagles, Wayne Bennett's squad is sitting pretty in the top four and they'll be even stronger this weekend with star fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow making his return from injury.

With Herbie Farnworth back in form and veterans like Mark Nicholls and Felise Kaufusi playing some of the best footy of their careers, the Dolphins show no signs of slowing down as they look ahead to tough matchups against the Warriors and Raiders before their bye in Round 14.

On the flip side, the Wests Tigers are in the midst of a six-game losing streak and will be desperate to turn things around.

Their missed tackles and penalties cost them dearly in their last game, and with key players like Isaiah Papali'i and Aidan Sezer unavailable, the pressure is on for young guns like Lachie Galvin and Jahream Bula to step up and make a difference at Suncorp on Sunday.

It's shaping up to be a classic clash of form teams, and with pride and positions in the standings on the line, both sides will be looking to leave it all out on the field in true Rugby League fashion.

It's sure to be a game full of heart, determination, and maybe even a little bit of Aussie flair.
