'Val Meninga' closer to Dolphins debut with Lee on ice
Known as 'Val Meninga', Dolphins fan favourite Valynce Te Whare is a chance of making his NRL debut against Cronulla and showcasing what his nickname is all about.
A hamstring injury to Dolphins centre Brenko Lee in last weekend's 31-30 loss to Canberra has opened the door for Te Whare to potentially get his shot at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.
The 22-year-old trained at right centre on Tuesday while Lee sat out. Lee has been named but Te Whare is in the 21 and is ready to slot in.
