After riding the wave of posting a record win against the Titans last week, the Dolphins will need refocus this week before taking on a Raiders side keen to make amends for their Round 2 loss.
The Dolphins have defied the odds this season to sit inside the top eight with five wins from their eight games – including their scrappy 20-24 come-from-behind win the last time they faced Canberra at Kayo Stadium – but have struggled to put together two whole halves, something the side need to address moving forward.
“(I was pleased with) the way they went out and regrouped themselves and played the whole second half, 40 minutes. It was excellent, it was a complete contrast to the first half,” coach Wayne Bennett told media at the post-match press conference about the way his side were able to turn around their 26-6 halftime deficit against the Gold Coast.
