Dolphins seek Bennett's influence as Rabbitohs' performance affects playoff hopes against Roosters.
The Dolphins, after defeating the Titans to keep their finals hopes alive, are looking to their former mentor Wayne Bennett for support. Coach Kristian Woolf and forward Felise Kaufusi have been asked whether they would encourage Bennett to motivate his Rabbitohs to beat the Roosters.
Even though Bennett and Souths are out of the finals race, their performance could significantly influence the outcomes for both the Roosters and the Dolphins, who are vying for the eighth playoff spot.
If the Roosters emerge victorious against the Rabbitohs at Allianz Stadium on Friday night, they will secure the last finals spot. Conversely, if Souths win, the Dolphins can earn that playoff berth by defeating Canberra at Kayo Stadium on Sunday.
