    The Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf has praised his side's resilience following their 30-22 win over the Canberra Raiders on a brisk night in the nation's capital. 

    The Redcliffe-based club raised four-straight wins for the first time in the franchise's history, and is shaping up to be an intimidating threat come September. 

    With four of their stars away on State of Origin duties, including Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Selwyn Cobbo, Max Plath and Thomas Flegler, the Dolphins stepped up big time with a job to do in Canberra.

    They have the biggest representation of Origin talent for the Sunshine State out of all the Queensland sides, boasting four stars away on Maroons duties. It is an impressive feat for a club that only made its maiden appearance in 2023, a credit to their recruitment and retention.

    The Dolphins clinched an NRL top eight spot amidst controversy, as Coach Ricky Stuart criticized officiating after their 30-22 win against Canberra.

    The Canberra Times

    Coach Ricky Stuart has lambasted the NRL's officiating, saying he's never been so confused about the rules after controversial calls overshadowed the Dolphins 30-22 victory against Canberra. 

    In a fiery two-minute press conference, where Stuart didn't answer any questions, the coach took aim at the referees and bunker after a series of 50/50 calls fell the visitors' way on Thursday night at GIO Stadium. 

    Most significantly, a second-half call where Joe Tapine and Morgan Smithies made a big tackle on Ray Stone was ruled a penalty by Todd Smith, with the referee saying Smithies made "unnecessary contact" with his elbow.
