The Dolphins’ 2025 NRL season was exciting but frustrating, finishing ninth and missing finals despite leading the NRL in points scored (721)—the first team to top attack while outside the top eight. New coach Kristian Woolf overcame an 0-4 start and major forward injuries to spark an explosive offence led by Jamayne Isaako‘s record points haul. Herbie Farnworth won the Arthur Beetson Medal as Player of the Year, Isaiya Katoa took Best Back and Players’ Player, Kurt Donoghoe claimed Best Forward and Most Consistent, and rookie Tevita Naufahu earned Rookie of the Year—but leaky defence (nearly 600 points conceded) proved costly, setting up a stronger 2026 push.
