The Dolphins will play the Sydney Roosters in the 2025 National Rugby League's (NRL) Indigenous Round 23 at Suncorp Stadium.
The Dolphins' campaign got off to a terrible start as they only managed three victories in the first nine games. They have won seven of their last ten games and lost just three, though, so their performance has improved. Due to their recent success, the Dolphins are now ranked seventh in the NRL.
The Roosters are in 10th place going into this round after struggling to find their groove this season with nine wins and ten losses. A persistent problem has been their incapacity to put together performances that are consistent. The Dolphins have defeated the Cowboys and the Warriors to extend their winning streak to two games.
