The Dolphins are set to lock horns with the Melbourne Storm in Round 7 of the 2025 NRL season at Suncorp Stadium on Friday.
The Dolphins started off their 2025 home-and-away season in horrendous form as they lost their first four games of the campaign against the Rabbitohs, the Knights, the Wests Tigers and the Broncos. However, they have bounced back in great fashion with back-to-back wins, and they are now placed 14th on the NRL ladder.
The Storm, on the other hand, have had a great start to the season as they opened the campaign with two wins in the first two games, and despite their Round 3 loss to the Dragons. They have four wins in five games after Round 6 and they sit second on the ladder behind the Bulldogs.
