Dolphins vs New Zealand Warriors prediction
The Dolphins are firing on all cylinders right now and find themselves pushing towards the top of the ladder after a hugely impressive run of seven straight victories.
Indeed, the last time that Kristian Woolf's men tasted defeat in the NRL was against this weekend's opponents, with the New Zealand Warriors winning 20-18 at the end of April.
After successive defeats, the Warriors got back on track with a 38-20 success against the Cowboys last weekend, and they find themselves two points above the Dolphins heading into this eagerly-anticipated encounter at Suncorp Stadium.
Both teams have scored exactly 414 points at this stage of the campaign, with only ladder-leaders Penrith Panthers boasting more. With incredible attacking talent on both sides of the field, we're expecting this one to be reasonably high scoring.
Dolphins vs New Zealand Warriors tip: Over 50.5 points
