Dolphins vs Warriors Odds

The Wahs might be second in the table just now, but they’re not backed to come out on top here. They’re 15/8 with Betfred for the win.

Thanks to their stunning run of form, Kristian Woolf’s side are the 4/9 favourites to earn the two competition points and go level with their visitors on the ladder.

It’s a 18/1 chance that the game goes into golden-point extra-time.

Team News

Woolf can call upon Isaiya Katoa, who has recovered from a knee injury, and Queensland reps Max Plath, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Selwyn Cobbo and Tom Flegler.

Tom Gilbert is missing with a mouth injury, while Trai Fuller and Teevita Naufahu are left out to allow for their senior players to return. Brad Schneider, Felise Kaufusi and Oryn Keeley step down to the bench.

Kulikefu Finefeuiaki moves into the back row in a straight swap with Keeley.

Rugby League Odds

Kurt Capewell returns to the back row for the Warriors, so Marata Niukore moves down to the bench.

Sam Healey is back as a hooking option but starts off the bench, while Tanner Stowers-Smith is an interchange option as Jackon Ford returns to the starting XIII following a pec issue.

Dolphins by 13+ @ 6/4

While their home and away stats haven’t been so different this year – they’re 6-2 at Mount Smart and 4-2 on the road – the Warriors just don’t look as daunting a prospect when they’re on their travels.

Now they come up against a red-hot Dolphins side who have somehow improved on their mid-season run of last year when they won six of eight and scored an average of 45 points per victory.

There ought to be a real momentum about the Redcliffe side here, so I can’t see anything other than a sizeable Fins success once more. They’re the best team in the comp right now and it’s not even close.
