RL:Farnworth out as Dolphins prepare for Raiders clash

The Dolphins' hopes of cementing their spot inside the NRL's top eight have been dealt a huge blow, with Herbie Farnworth ruled out with hamstring tightness.

Coach Kristian Woolf said the star centre would miss Thursday's clash against Canberra at GIO Stadium, where the Dolphins are looking to win a fourth straight game and climb up from eighth spot.

Already missing a plethora of stars because of State of Origin, including fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, winger Selwyn Cobbo, prop Thomas Flegler and lock Max Plath, the news will only make the task harder for Woolf's side.

Five-eighth Kodi Nikorima sustained a hamstring injury in the Dolphins' 32-10 victory over South Sydney last Friday and will be replaced by former Raider Brad Schneider, while Trai Fuller, Tevita Naufahu, Francis Molo and Jeremy Marshall-King enter the starting 13.
