Then in the space of five minutes the Warriors failed to make use of a Wayde Egan bust, had Edward Kosi play the ball to no-one when on the attack and watched Dylan Walker drop the ball metres out from the line. The two combined for a brilliant try to make it 18-6 midway through the second half when Keary dummied to his right and then passed to his left to put Suaali'i into space. Dominant for most of the match and with enough chances to ice the result early, the Roosters were forced to hold through a nervous late period at Sydney Football Stadium.

LIVE: Enforcer lands ANOTHER bone-cruncher as Dolphins score with star in bin - but Raiders lead.

“They needed him to stand up with his halfback in the sin bin and he comes up with a big play. What a shot that was,” Corey Parker responded. Teen halfback Isaiya Katoa stepped up with O’Sullivan in the bin and delivered the game-winning pass for Tabuai-Fidow to score. “To suggest Sean O’Sullivan needs 10 in the bin for what we just saw is ridiculous,” Corey Parker said. Canberra had all the running but some piggyback penalties took the Dolphins downfield and Sean O’Sullivan put a grubber through for Gilbert to score a controversial try. “O’Sullivan thread the needle and comes up with a four-pointer right on full-time,” Shane Flanagan said on Fox League. The Raiders were robbed a try in the 44th minute when Nick Cotric was ruled to have batted a high ball forward by the Bunker. “Out of absolutely nowhere, the Dolphins have scored,” Ginnane said. Marshall-King was put on report and binned in the 34th minute for a hip drop tackle on Corey Horsburgh. Halfback Sean O’Sullivan put a grubber through, which Sebastian Kris couldn’t defuse it in the wet, and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow scored on the bell. “A really well constructed try given the conditions,” Parker said. Young took the ball to the line and was laid out by Kaufusi for his troubles, taking several minutes to get up after copping a brutal shot to the ribs.

2023 NRL Round 2: Dolphins 20, Raiders 14 (NothingButLeague)

The Dolphins become the third side in the NRL era to start their franchise with two straight wins after winning against the Raiders at Kayo Stadium.

The Dolphins converted the penalty, but their lead was short lived when another controversial decision saw Sean O’Sullivan given ten minutes for taking out Corey Harawira-Naera and Jamal Fogarty added the penalty conversion. In heavy, wet conditions, things looked bright for the Raiders early as it appeared the Dolphins were slightly hungover from their first-round win against the Roosters. They were aiming to become the third side to win their first two games at the start of their franchise.

Sebastian Kris fumbled a Sean O'Sullivan grubber kick, allowing Tabuai-Fidow to plant the seeds for the home side's incredible comeback. Then in the space of five minutes the Warriors failed to make use of a Wayde Egan bust, had Edward Kosi play the ball to no-one when on the attack and watched Dylan Walker drop the ball metres out from the line. The two combined for a brilliant try to make it 18-6 midway through the second half when Keary dummied to his right and then passed to his left to put Suaali'i into space. Dominant for most of the match and with enough chances to ice the result early, the Roosters were forced to hold through a nervous late period at Sydney Football Stadium. Kikau was also sent to the sin-bin for a trip in the final minutes but it did not take the gloss off a well-deserved win that was the Bulldogs' first of the year. Tonumaipea earned a spot in Bellamy's bad books midway through the first half when he ran the ball on the last tackle and was then sent to the sin-bin after tackling a player without the ball.

[A new history starts now in the Stan Original Documentary Series Dawn Of The Dolphins. Full of confidence and with an appetite to keep confounding expectations, Bennett will lead his men into the Hunter next weekend where they’ll have the opportunity to cross off yet another milestone with the club’s first ever victory away from home against the Knights in the offing. “They came back and countered and put themselves back in the game.” Although he saved his biggest play of the game for the final minute when, with scores tied and both sides down to 12 men, he sliced through a gap to touch down and keep the club’s perfect record intact. Against the Raiders, he scored on the stroke of half time to get the Dolphins back into the contest. Yet this didn’t serve to set the tone for the rest of the half, as the Raiders raced into a commanding lead after dominating territory and possession.
