Marshall King gets 10 in the bin for a hip drop. Horsburgh was looking a bit ginger after the tackle.

He did go very pale.

Try dolphins hammer 39' during sin bin. 

12-6 raiders

[Farmduck]

Good game considering conditions. No obvious winner yet.

[Farmduck]

Clubs have complained about the sideline doctor HIA'ing players but we just saw both teams voluntarily HIA their own players when there was a free forward interchange available.

Raiders not getting any return on their last-tackle kicks

It's becoming a problems usually around 20mins.

Gilbert try considered by bunker and confirmed.

[Midlands hobo]

Hands on by both players which I think saved him.

Is it free? I thought only returning to the field was a free interchange?

I would have been very unimpressed if that try was disallowed

[Graham]

Latest 12-12

Hang on a no try but marker offside.

He gets ten in the bin and Dolphins get a penalty as a result.

Dolphin goal and they take the lead for the first time in this game.

[Graham]

14-12 Dolphins 

8 minutes of the game remaining 

[Sports Prophet]

Good decision. Too often players get away with just a penalty for infringements like that on the goal line. Hope the Dolphins hold on here.

My understanding is that, if the same 2 players are involved, then they are both free. I might be wrong.

[Farmduck]

Bad decision on the CHN tackle

[Graham]

Drama with a capital D!

[Midlands hobo]

Didn't see any head contact.

[Farmduck]

How was that Levi ball slap a Raiders knock on?

How was the crusher tackle not a sin bin but the hip drop was. Been a shocker all round

What's Voss talking about with "Dogs haven't played here since 2016?" This game was at AAMI in 2019 and 2022. They also played in Brisbane and Perth.
