The Dolphins will go head-to-head with the Knights this Thursday night at McDonald Jones Stadium in a must-watch clash as they look to bounce back from a disappointing round one loss.
Both teams struggled with errors and completion rates in their opening matches, indicating a key area for improvement heading into this game.
Missing second-rowers Kulikefu Finefeuiaki and Connelly Lemuelu due to injury, the Dolphins will welcome back Kodi Nikorima and Mark Nicholls to the lineup.
Nikorima will slot into the five-eighth position, while Nicholls will provide impact off the bench.
Oryn Keeley will start in the second row, facing off against his former club, the Knights.
The Knights have made a minor change to their squad, with Adam Elliott coming onto the bench and Brodie Jones dropping to 18th man.
The highlight of this match will be the showdown between the Saifiti brothers.
Daniel and Jacob Saifiti will go up against each other for the first time in their NRL careers, bringing a family rivalry to the field.
The last time twin siblings faced off in the NRL was the Morris brothers, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this already exciting game.
Both brothers will start in the front row, wearing the number 8 jersey for their respective teams.
Known for their strong carries and relentless work ethic, fans can expect a fierce battle when these two lock horns in the middle of the park.
