The Dolphins are desperate to keep their finals hopes alive when they host the Titans in a Queensland derby on Sunday afternoon.
Kristian Woolf's men have lost three-straight to fall out of the eight, but they remain a chance of playing finals football for the first time in the club's history.
The Dolphins are two points behind the Roosters and need a win on Sunday to set up a mouth-watering final week of the regular season.
The Titans are eager to spoil the party as they look to finish a challenging year on a high.
There were promising signs against the Warriors last week, but Des Hasler's men struggled to match it with their opponents for the full 80 minutes.

Team News
Dolphins: Kodi Nikorima returns at five-eighth after he was a late withdrawal last week due to illness so Jake Averillo shifts to centre and Max Feagai makes way. Connelly Lemuelu starts in the back row in place of Kulikefu Finefeuiaki (ankle). The new man on the bench is Aublix Tawha.
Titans: Coach Des Hasler has named the same 17 that went down to the Warriors in Round 25 as he looks to lift his team out of the cellar. Listed among the reserves are former Wallaby Carter Gordon, who has played two games for Ipswich in his return from a spinal injury, and Cooper Bai, the son of Storm and PNG great Marcus Bai.
