NRL Round 10 Prediction
✅ Dolphins to win by 7–12 points

The Dolphins need a win here to keep pace in the top eight race. Their home record at Suncorp is competitive and the Bulldogs have genuine selection and form issues heading into this one. Ciraldo's reluctance to shake up his spine despite results is a concern - Dolphins to win and cover -6.5.

Key Storylines

Kodi Nikorima return
Nikorima and Jeremy Marshall-King named to return from injury. If Marshall-King passes his fitness test he bolsters an experienced Dolphins bench considerably.
Bulldogs spine unchanged
Ciraldo has resisted calls to shake up the spine despite a form slump - just one win from the last six. Kurt Mann (head knock) and Jake Turpin (biceps) are out.
Max Plath Origin bolter
The Dolphins hooker is in red hot form and has been mentioned as a Queensland State of Origin bolter. His form is one of the stories of the Dolphins' season.
