The Dolphins are well placed to cope with the State of Origin period as Trai Fuller continues to show why he is the best club fullback not playing regular NRL.
The 29-year-old was a powerhouse in the 48-10 win over Sydney Roosters on Friday night, when he made 284m from 28 rampaging runs and scored a blistering try in just his 20th NRL game in four seasons.
The Dolphins went fourth on the ladder with the win while playing without five of their Queensland stars, who watched the match from their Melbourne base ahead of the State of Origin clash at the MCG.
Fuller was filling in for Maroons outside back Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, known as "Hammer", who is the regular No.1 for the Dolphins.
