Get ready for some Magic Round action as the Wests Tigers gear up to take on the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium.

It's a rematch six weeks in the making, with the Tigers looking to redeem themselves after a previous loss to the same team at the same venue.

Leading the charge for the Tigers is captain Api Koroisau, who is set to mark his 200th NRL appearance in style.

But the real highlight of the day will be the potential NRL debut of Sione Fainu, adding a new chapter to the Fainu family's rugby league legacy.

Sione, a 22-year-old forward, watched his younger brother, Latu, make his NRL debut last month.

Now, it's his turn to shine on the field alongside another sibling, Samuela, as they make history as Wests Tigers Players #284 and #280, respectively.

Both teams are coming into Magic Round with different momentum.

The Tigers are eager to break a six-game losing streak that started against the Dolphins in Round 5, while the Phins are riding high with three wins in their last four matches, including impressive victories over the Sea Eagles and Cowboys.

It's going to be a showdown filled with passion, determination, and some good old-fashioned footy action.

So get ready for a thrilling clash as these two teams battle it out on the field for bragging rights and glory.

Let the games begin!
