At 33 years old, former Raiders front-rower Mark Nicholls remarkably found another gear at the Dolphins.
Nicholls wouldn't define himself as a household name in rugby league, but he's managed to forge an impressive 12-year career and credits a turning point in Canberra as the catalyst for his longevity.
The Dolphins forward is relishing the fresh challenge presented to him with the expansion club in its inaugural NRL season, having previously had stints with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Melbourne Storm and the Raiders.
