Initially, the Dolphins had a blazing start to the season, but their performance has significantly declined over the past couple of months. They enter this encounter with four losses in their last five games. Despite their recent setbacks, the NRL standings are so closely contested this season that the Dolphins find themselves just two points away from the top eight as Round 20 approaches.

Having achieved a 23-21 victory in golden point against the Titans last week, Wayne Bennett's team managed to regain their momentum. However, for the Dolphins to pull off the biggest surprise of the season, their esteemed coach will need to overcome a poor track record of one win and six losses against teams coached by Ivan Cleary.
