THE PREDICTION
Wayne Bennett faces the toughest job of his career as he takes the NRL’s newest side into their maiden campaign. The Dolphins found it tough going as they attempted to build a roster and there is definitely a feel that they lack quality across the board. That may be the case for the next few years as they attempt to establish themselves but they will be game in this opening contest with Sydney Roosters. The Chooks will be looking to compete for the Premiership this year and their star-studded line-up is likely to be too good for the hosts in this one and they can win by 13+ points.
