The Dolphins have set the scene for a heavyweight first clash with Brisbane after continuing their perfect start to life in the NRL with a 36-20 win over ...

"If you're a football player you're going to want to be there, in the best stadium in Australia. These are the pressure games. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow swooped on a loose ball after a Connelly Lemuelu bust, Niu claimed his third on the left wing and Isaako bagged a late double on the right as the Dolphins ran away with the game. The Dolphins dominated the early stages before a lacklustre middle 40, with two of Niu's tries in the first half the result of slick passes from his centre Euan Aitken. But ultimately their lack of experience showed, as the hosts faded with Hastings off the field after a late hit from Felise Kaufusi and Kalyn Ponga out indefinitely through concussion. Halfback Jackson Hastings ended the game off the field for a concussion check from whiplash - which he passed - after earlier combining nicely with Lachlan Miller and Tyson Gamble.

The nib Newcastle Knights have fought valiantly in their first home game of the season, but have gone down 30-20 to the Dolphins at McDonald Jones Stadium.

From that play, Felise Kaufusi was sent to the sin-bin for a late shot on Hastings. Bradman Best seized an opportunity with the ball going dead, racing to the 20 metre line before unloading to Dom Young who found Miller in support. 75th minute - Isaako scored in the corner for the Dolphins to seal the win for the away side.

The Dolphins incredible start to the season has continued with a hard-fought 34-20 win over a depleted Newcastle side. Dual hat tricks for Tesi…

Mike Meehall Wood is a rugby league writer, Celtic supporter and cricket tragic. None of these have looked anywhere near as good as they currently do, and that is Uncle Wayne to a tee. The Knights didn’t just lose a lot at home last year – they got absolutely trounced. It’s impressive that, just three games into their existence, the Dolphins already have an identity. Nobody believed it could start like this, but the dream continued in Redcliffe. Newcastle were without Kalyn Ponga and Jayden Brailey from their spine, plus Tyson Frizzell, Adam Elliott, Jack Johns and Kurt Mann.

The Dolphins continue their strong start to life in the NRL with a 36-20 win over the Newcastle Knights on Friday night at Hunter Stadium.

The visitors continue to enjoy their time in the top division with another two points. There was some life left in the Knights especially after Felise Kaufusi was sin binned for a late shot on Hastings. Coming off their big wins in Queensland, this was the Dolphins first expedition away from their pod.

The Dolphins are closing in on history after another stunning victory to open up the side's inaugural season.

We’ll get smarter but I think we’re intact in terms of the DNA we tried to create in the summer.” The Broncos hold the record, winning its first six straight regular season matches to start its maiden season. It saw the points slip away and the Dolphins return to the top of the ladder two matches into the round. But some errors there at the back end that really let the game get away from us. The Dolphins added the Knights to the It was the side’s first ever away game and after being pushed for much of the match, the Wayne Bennett-coached club powered away on the back of a Tesi Nui hat-trick and double to Jamayne Isaako.

The Sydney Roosters face off with the Rabbitohs, while the Dolphins make it three wins from as many matches with a 36-20 defeat of the Knights in Newcastle.

The Dolphins have set the scene for a heavyweight first clash with Brisbane after continuing their perfect start to life in the NRL. The Knights twice fought back valiantly, providing the try of the night to go ahead 16-14 early in the second half when Bradman Best and Gamble combined from a 20-metre tap and Miller went 70 metres to score untouched. Waerea-Hargreaves played like a man possessed and Smith was able to fire off the back of that go-forward as he darted over for his try as a Roosters player with five minutes left in the half. Paulo added a second with 15 minutes left but the Rabbitohs left their run too late, with Thompson's try in the final minute flattering them and coming when both sides had been reduced to 12 players. The Rabbitohs looked good value for their early advantage, but the Roosters received a shot in the arm when coach Trent Robinson turned to his bench in the 25th minute and sent on Waerea-Hargreaves and Smith.

Wayne Bennett's side have started life in the NRL with three straight wins after coming out on top against a depleted Newcastle.

Both came from nice lead-up work, with Miller’s particularly impressive when he laid on a short ball for Lachlan Fitzgibbon and wrapped around the outside in support to score. Kodi Nikorima also claimed a four-pointer before the break when he went over from dummy-half. Tom Gilbert was also impressive, running 153 metres and making 38 tackles as the workhorse of the Dolphins’ middle.

At least 910 dolphins have washed up on France's Atlantic coast since the start of the winter, an oceanographic institute reported Friday.

In February, the commissioner of the State Council, France's highest jurisdiction in government matters, came out in favour of a temporary ban in some locations on certain types of fishing deemed to be responsible for many of the dolphin deaths. Some NGOs and scientists have called for a temporary halt of fishing in those months, but the government has instead opted for solutions mitigating the impact of industrial fishing on dolphins, such as onboard cameras or repellents to keep them away. Most of them died in February and March, when dolphins usually move closer to the coast looking for food and are more likely to come in contact with fishing operations.
