Dolphins NRL odds
The Dolphins enter their second season in the NRL having had a far more successful first season than anticipated. After five rounds of the 2023 competition, the Dolphins sat in 7th spot on the NRL ladder before finishing 13th. That was in front of the Canterbury Bulldogs and St George Illawarra Dragons, two of the most historically prolific clubs in the NRL.
This season will be the Dolphins’ last under coach Wayne Bennett who will hand over the reins to Kristian Wolfe at the season’s end. During the off-season, Bennett managed to secure the services of Queensland Maroons forward Thomas Flegler, and English & Dally M Centre of the Year Herbie Farnworth who will be joined by Jake Averillo.
Will the Dolphins be able to secure a top-eight finish in just their second NRL season?
Let’s look at the Dolphins NRL odds for 2024.

Dolphins latest news & tips
Best bets for NRL Dolphins 2023
- The Dolphins sit on the third-last line of betting to win the 2024 NRL Premiership at $51. Despite having a few highly talented forwards and outside backs, this squad also has a number of aging forwards like the Bromwich brothers and Felise Kaufusi, paired with a young, inexperienced spine that will struggle to win finals games should they finish in the top eight.
- The Dolphins sit on the fourth-last line of betting at $4 odds to finish in the top eight, which is an incredibly smart value bet when considering the results the club achieved in 2023. On two occasions in their first season, the Dolphins were beaten by one point, and on two other occasions, they were only beaten by two points. Had the Dolphins won those four games alone, they would have finished in seventh place. Should their year of experience and big signings provide enough of a boost, the Dolphins could shock many and earn their first Finals birth.
- Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow is the obvious value bet to be the leading try-scorer ($10) for the Dolphins this season. In 2023, Tabuai-Fidow was shifted between fullback and centre to ‘plug holes’ in the backline caused by injury and poor form. In 2023 with the addition of Farnworth and Averillo and the emergence of Valynce Te Whare, Tabuai-Fidow will be expected to spend the entire upcoming season at fullback. His support play and speed are incredible, and his strength is not to be underestimated. A full season without injury should see ‘The Hammer’ lead the tryscoring for the Dolphins.

NRL Dolphins players to watch in 2024
The Dolphins’ NRL odds might not favour them to push deep into the 2024 season, but they undoubtedly have some serious talent on their books.
Some of the Dolphins players to watch in their inaugural season are:
Herbie Farnworth
Born: 23/12/1999
Games: 79
Tries: 34
Position: Centre
Herbie Farnworth comes to the Dolphins from the Brisbane Broncos, where he established himself as one of the best centres in the NRL. His ball-carrying and defence are impeccable, as are his skills around the ball, which will see him score a number of unlikely tries. Farnworth is expected to play inside the NRL’s leading point scorer and second-highest try scorer of 2023, Jamayne Isaako. Farnworth’s biggest test will be his ability to facilitate play that will put Isaako in the in-goal area and score tries for the club.
Thomas Flegler
Born: 19/8/1999
Games: 96
Tries: 5
Position: Prop
Thomas Flegler also comes from the Broncos and enters an incredibly unique position with the Dolphins. He will join former premiership-winning forward Jesse Bromwich, Kenneth Bromwich, Mark Nichols, and Felise Kaufusi, who will have a wealth of knowledge to pass on to the future Dolphins and Queensland Maroons enforcers. Flegler has been known to make irrational decisions on the field that land him in hot water, and this season could be enormous in the development of his temperament on the field.
Valynce Te Whare
Born: 15/9/2000
Games: 12
Tries: 6
Position: Centre
Valynce Te Whare burst onto the scene in the Magic Round of 2023 for the Dolphins, where he scored a double on his debut. The former rugby union player struggled through the rest of the 2023 season to cement a position in the side, coming off the interchange bench at points in the season. 2024 will be Te Whare’s opportunity to cement a role in this side, following a tough pre-season under coach Bennett. Should he cement a role, he will be an incredibly valuable member of this team.
