Kodi Nikorima   

The Dolphins have decided to rest star fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow against Cronulla. Tabuai-Fidow had a great game in attack and defence at No.

The re-signing of Dolphins five-eighth Kodi Nikorima until the end of 2026 gives the club class and continuity in the spine positions for the new era set to dawn under incoming coach Kristian Woolf.

Cronulla are hopeful Braydon Trindall will only miss one NRL match after scans confirmed the halfback had suffered a low-grade hamstring tear.

Dolphins playmaker Kodi Nikorima has enjoyed some of the best footy of his career under Wayne Bennett but won't be distracted by the super-coach's move to South Sydney at the end of the season.
