Fuller recalled for derby as Dolphins switch Hammer

Dolphins Switch for Derby Clash

The Dolphins have made a late positional switch for the derby clash with Brisbane, with Trai Fuller set to play at fullback and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow moving to centre.

This change was forced by the loss of centre Max Feagai to injury, prompting coach Kristian Woolf to make the switch.

It's a back to the future move

Last year, former coach Wayne Bennett made a similar switch, which resulted in "Hammer" having a strong game at centre, scoring two tries, and Fuller performing well at the back.

Saturday's clash at Suncorp Stadium will be Fuller's first game this year in the NRL after recovering from an ACL injury.
