Dolphins Fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow will miss the upcoming Pacific Championships due to a grade-three MCL injury sustained during the game against the Raiders on Sunday.

Following the injury, it is anticipated that the 'Hammer' will be out for about eight weeks, which means he won't participate in the tournament scheduled to begin on October 18.

Despite Tabuai-Fidow's absence, the Dolphins achieved a significant win over the Raiders with a score of 62-24.

The NRL is set to implement a new finals format for the first time in 18 years, according to chief executive Andrew Abdo. He clarified that this change is not a rash decision but a plan that has been in development for two years. The preliminary final schedule remains undecided, especially in light of a possible matchup with the AFL grand final in Melbourne.

This shift will introduce a Sunday afternoon game in the second week of finals, a rarity since the Cowboys defeated the Warriors in 2007. Previously, day games had also seen the Wests Tigers triumph over the Broncos in 2005.

Although nighttime matches generally appeal to broadcasters, both Fox League and Channel 9 have supported the new earlier kick-off time. This adjustment could result in the loser of the upcoming Raiders-Broncos game facing either the Sharks or the Roosters.

Another victim of the Round 27 injury plague has been revealed, with news that Dolphins superstar Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow had suffered a Grade 3 MCL tear in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

He was reportedly set to choose between playing for Australia in the Ashes series or Samoa in the Pacific Championships, seemingly opting for the latter before succumbing to the devastating knee injury.

Tabuai-Fidow will now spend his offseason rehabbing, with the hope of improving on the Dolphins' best season to date, which saw the third-year club finish 2025 with the best attack in the NRL.
