Supercoach Wayne Bennett worked his Midas touch once again at the weekend as his National Rugby League (NRL) debutant Dolphins stunned the Sydney Roosters in front of more than 32,000 fans at Brisbane’s Lang Park. The team from the Brisbane suburb of Redcliffe were the first addition to the NRL since the Gold Coast Titans in 2007 and had been expected to struggle in their first campaign after failing to land any marquee players. On Sunday, however, Bennett’s assemblage of promising youngsters and cast offs from NRL powerhouses bucked odds of more than 5-1 to claim a deserved 28-18 victory over the 15-times champion Roosters.
