The Dolphins NRL website has confirmed that head coach Kristian Woolf is gearing up to unleash Kodi Nikorima and Mark Nicholls in the team's upcoming showdown against the Knights this Thursday night at McDonald Jones Stadium.
In a strategic move reminiscent of a classic Rugby League play, Nikorima will slot back into the starting lineup at five-eighth, while Nicholls will bring his experience off the bench.
This dynamic duo will step up to fill the void left by the sidelined Connelly Lemuelu, who is out of action with an unfortunate eye socket fracture.
Following a stellar performance in his debut for the Dolphins last week, Danial Saifiti is revving up to face his old club and have a sibling showdown with his twin brother Jacob for the first time in an NRL match.
It promises to be a thrilling match-up that fans won't want to miss!
Meanwhile, Sean O'Sullivan will transition to the role of 18th man, ready to be called upon if needed in a move that could be described as a benchwarmer with potential to make a game-changing impact.
