THE TEAM NEWS
DOLPHINS
- After some promising moments during their inaugural season in the NRL, the Dolphins will be hoping to build on those efforts as they aim to finish in the top eight this time around.
- As they become an established side, there will be plenty of scope to improve their roster and they have made the eye-catching additions of Herbie Farnworth and Thomas Flegler from Queensland rivals Brisbane Broncos for 2024.
Starting 13: 1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Tesi Niu 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Jack Bostock 6. Kodi Nikorima 7. Sean O'Sullivan 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10.

NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS
- North Queensland Cowboys failed to build on a quality 2022 campaign which was hampered by a poor start to the season and they have made few changes to their roster once again this year.
- It will be a very similar side that takes to the field this season and the pressure will be on head coach Todd Payten owing to the strength of their pack in particular.
Starting 13: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Valentine Holmes 4. Zac Laybutt 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Tom Dearden 7. Chad Townsend 8. Jordan McLean 9. Reece Robson 10. Jason Taumalolo 11. Heilum Luki 12. Jeremiah Nanai 13. Reuben Cotter Bench: 14. Jake Granville 15. Griffin Neame 16. Sam McIntyre 17. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki Reserves: 18. Tomas Chester 19. Thomas Mikaele 20. Semi Valemei 21. Jack Gosiewski 22. Jake Clifford
THE PREDICTION
This all-Queensland affair will bring round 1 of the new NRL season to a close as the Dolphins take on North Queensland Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium. Both teams missed out on the play-offs last year but will believe they are in with a chance of making the eight this time around. This is a tough game to call but should be a very competitive contest so expect the final scoreline to be a close one.
TIP: WINNING MARGIN - 1-12 POINTS
