Jake Averillo's position at Wests Tigers next season is undecided, but his performance for the Dolphins offered coach Benji Marshall a glimpse of his speed and attacking ability.
The 2027 recruit scored a hat-trick and set up two tries as the Queensland Cup champions beat Penrith 68-14 in the State Championship at Accor Stadium.
The Dolphins crossed for seven first-half tries, building a 40-4 lead-the highest halftime score by a Queensland team in the annual fixture.
Averillo opened the scoring after four minutes and added another try before the break.
His kick created a try for Kyle Coghill, and he later gathered his own chip to score.
Three minutes into the second half, Averillo completed his hat-trick after Tevita Naufahu made a long break.
Joven Gyemore also displayed his pace on the right edge as the Dolphins repeatedly breached Penrith's defence.
Averillo could play in the halves or outside backs for the Tigers, though his role remains unclear.
New South Wales had dominated this year's men's and women's State of Origin series before Queensland's emphatic club-level response.
