Wayne Bennett pulled off a coaching masterclass last week to turn the Dolphins season around and can do the same again against another of his former clubs.
Best Bet
It was one of the great coaching performances by Wayne Bennett last week. The most experienced coach in the game completely rearranged his team, kickstarting his slumping team while bamboozling the opposition.
It was one of the most miraculous season saves in living memory.
It would not surprise if it happened again because the Dolphins are better coached and have more talent than the one-trick pony Knights.
The Dolphins have covered 20 of 33 as an underdog and six of nine as an outsider of 5.5 or less.
Phins up.
