Once again having held on to the top spot we need to make a statement against the 2nd place in the league team Sandown & Shanklin who are having a good season but have slipped up once already. Team needs to be well prepared and get over the early start and renowned heavy pitch to get out of the blocks quickly. We have the pack for this game with experience. Alex Hankins, Sean Shepherd and Jez Smith in the front row giving us power. And youth in back 5 of Jacob Ashworth, Will Saunders, Kelton New and Will double blending with game knowledge of Ash Wakefield, Will Brock and Harrison Chalk. Line out height should give us plenty of ball to work off. Eddie Lewis is back at Fly Half and our dominant centre pairing from last week are still together. Captain fantastic, Rory Penfold, will be looking for another multi-try day. Pat Warriner returns to one wing and Freddie Hayes hold on to his spot on the other. Joel MacFarlane will be looking to come on to a broken opposition defence off the bench.
Big opportunity for Dolphins to make a statement. As coach Packer would say 'Time to be ruthless'.
