Last updated:
Dolphins: No late changes, with veteran forward Jarrod Wallace retained as 18th man. Ray Stone gets first shot at making the No.13 jersey his following the loss of Tom Gilbert (knee) for the season. Halfback Sean O'Sullivan is good to go after failing a HIA during the Pre-Season Challenge. Euan Aitken and new recruit Jake Averillo are the major omissions from the squad to open the season.
Cowboys: The team will take the field as named on Tuesday, with Jason Taumalolo starting at prop and Sam McIntyre on the bench. Veteran Kyle Feldt gets the nod on the right wing alongside Zac Laybutt, who takes over from the departed Peta Hiku. Off-season pickup Tom Mikaele is the 18th man.
