Herbie Farnworth helped the Dolphins secure a hard-fought 20-16 victory over the struggling Parramatta Eels, marking a rare away win.

In the match, Farnworth demonstrated impressive form, amassing 162 meters from 12 carries, making seven tackle busts, and executing a crucial try-saving tackle on Will Penisini.

His pivotal moment came in the 65th minute when he broke through a tackle from Mitchell Moses, rounding Eels fullback Isaiah Iongi to score.

This marked his fourth consecutive try, playing a key role in ending the Dolphins' eight-match losing streak outside Queensland.

Coach Woolf praised Farnworth's performance, stating, "He really came to the fore when we needed him tonight and those were two massive plays.

He's a very talented player, and that's what he's capable of.

He's a real athlete, a real competitor -- there aren't many guys that can do what he can physically." Woolf also noted that despite being banged up and lacking a full week of training, Farnworth's contributions were a great indicator of his capabilities.
