Dolphins, Titans Secure NRL Victories; Trbojevic Suffers Hamstring Injury

The Dolphins recovered from the shock of their 66-0 thrashing in Round 19 to claim a dominant derby victory over the Cowboys that puts them up to fifth on the NRL ladder.

Earlier, the Gold Coast Titans overcame a shocking start to win a 38-32 shootout against Manly Warringah at Robina.

Manly got off to a flying start, with Tom Trboojevic scoring the opening try in the first minute.

However, he was forced to leave the field soon after with a hamstring injury, another hamstring issue after he missed eight weeks earlier this year.

Trbojevic slipped over trying to catch a Joey Walsh pass and walked off the field covering his face in disappointment.

"Hopefully [it's] not as bad as the last one, but naturally he's pretty disappointed," Sea Eagles coach Kieran Foran said.

"We'll wait until he gets a scan and then work out the damage."

The injury to his hamstring is the ninth he has recorded in the past eight seasons, this being the fifth he has suffered on his right side.

The injury that ruled him out earlier this season was on his left.

Isaako stars and Dolphins thrive at Lang Park

In the second game, Jamayne Isaako scored two tries and kicked six out of six off the tee as the Dolphins powered past the Cowboys.

The Cowboys leaped into a 10-0 lead inside the opening minutes, with the returning Tom Dearden scoring a try and setting one up for Jeremiah Nanai on his return from an ankle injury that ruled him out through the Origin period.

However, once the Dolphins got going, thanks to a typically spectacular score by Isaako in the corner, they never looked back.

The Dolphins' sixth win in a row at Lang Park moves them to fifth on the NRL ladder.

In the NRLW, the Titans thrashed the Eels 50-12 and the Broncos beat Wests Tigers 40-12, while later, the Knights play the Dragons.
