Dolphins v Brisbane Broncos: NRL Friday Preview

Still chasing their first win of the 2025 NRL season, Friday night provides the Dolphins with an opportunity to get off the mark in the perfect way as they go in search of a win against neighbours Brisbane Broncos.

The Dolphins stunned the Broncos with a 40-6 victory in the last Battle for Brisbane but it would take some effort to replicate that result given the start Kristian Woolf’s side have had to the 2025 campaign.

One of three teams yet to claim their first win, the Dolphins have been on the wrong end of scorelines against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Newcastle Knights and Wests Tigers.

Next up it’s a clash with rivals the Broncos who are ticking along nicely with two wins in their opening three outings of the season.

Dolphins can look back to past glory

That 40-6 win over the Broncos was a statement win for the Dolphins and one they can look back on with fond memories.

However, the Broncos will be out for revenge and the Dolphins will know they will need to produce their performance of the season so far to claim that elusive first win of the campaign and the bragging rights.

Fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow will be a key figure for the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium this week and, if the former North Queensland Cowboys star can produce some moments of magic, then the men in red might stand a chance.

Tabuai-Fidow is 2.25 in the anytime tryscorer market for this one, while he’s 11.00 to bag the opening try of the night.

Broncos have business to settle

It will have felt like a long 80 minutes for the Broncos the last time they took the field against the Dolphins and they will be determined to reclaim the bragging rights on Friday.

Fresh off the back of a 26-16 victory over the Cowboys last Friday night, the Broncos will be full of confidence ahead of this game, while the return of centre Kotoni Staggs is also a welcomed boost.

Staggs 2.60 in the anytime tryscorer market to touch down for the Broncos, while he’s at 15.00 to score the opening try in this showdown at Suncorp.
