The Dolphins have suffered a blow with star centre Herbie Farnworth ruled out of Thursday night's clash against Canberra.

Farnworth was named by Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf in the centres on Tuesday for the tricky road trip to Canberra to face the Raiders.

But the English Test star has succumbed to general tightness, with versatile utility forward Oryn Keeley to replace Farnworth in the centres.

It is understood the injury is not serious with Farnworth hoping to be cleared for the Dolphins' round 14 clash against the Cowboys in a fortnight after a bye round next weekend.
