Nikorima sin-binned; Raiders scored, but Dolphins led with two tries in first half.
The opening ten minutes saw more high tackle controversy when Kodi Nikorima was sent to the sin bin by referee Ashley Klein after advice from the bunker. The Raiders took advantage of the extra man just a minute later though that needed a long look from the bunker to overturn Ashley Klein's no try call for Savelio Tamale to score.
Despite the early try for the Raiders, it was the Dolphins who had the better of the first half as they scored and took the lead when Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow scored after a poor defensive read from Jamal Fogarty. The Dolphins then took the same route again as a mismatch in defence sent Herbie Farnworth over in the corner.
