If The Dolphins’ Big R1 Roosters Upset Is Anything To Go By, The NRL Is In For A Red-Hot Szn

To be completely transparent, I only talk about sports when my team *cough* Parramatta Eels *cough* make it to the grand final, BUT, can we just appreciate the debut of the highly anticipated team, the Dolphins? While I’m more of a casual watcher and *kinda* get the gist of what’s going on in the footy, even I can see that the Dolphins winning is a big deal. Like, we need to keep an eye on this candy-cane looking club and how they’re about to shake the world of NRL. To give you the TL;DR: the new team smashed their way through their first match on Sunday night, beating NRL heavyweights Sydney Roosters, 28 – 18. The match itself was quite glorious, and even though I’m an Eels girly at heart, the whole idea of the Dolphins winning against the Roosters is giving under-dog vibes.

Former North Queensland Cowboys player Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow was the first player to score a try for the Dolphins in their debut match.
