Early game of the year contender, Dolphins and Raiders trade tries, tied at 12-all.
In a see-sawing contest that has seen early crows of 'game of the year', it was the home side Dolphins who got on the board early, hooker Jeremy Marshall-King going over beside the posts. The 6-0 lead following Jamayne Isaako's conversion would be cancelled out by Xavier Savage flying over for the visitors' first try five minutes later.
The Raiders went from six down to six up in a short space of time with Ata Mariota strolling over before the 20-minute mark and suddenly found themselves 12-6 leaders.
The back-and-forth nature of the contest became apparent at the 25th minute with Jack Bostock hitting the tryscorer list off a Herbie Farnworth offload, Isaako again converting to level the action at 12-all inside half an hour.
