Wayne Bennett's Dolphins have ventured north and made the Townsville waters their own with a gritty and hard-fought 32-22 victory over North Queensland in their inaugural clash.
Without playmakers Sean O'Sullivan and Anthony Milford, former Cowboys speedster Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow returned to Townsville and scored the match-sealing try after his side thwarted a spirited second-half comeback in front of a sold-out Queensland Country Bank Stadium crowd.
