In a heart-stopping clash at PointsBet Stadium, State of Origin hero Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow showcased his sheer brilliance as he propelled the Dolphins to a breathtaking victory over the Sharks on Thursday night.

Tabuai-Fidow, who had just delivered a stunning hat-trick for Queensland in the Origin series opener, left spectators in awe with an incredible 98-meter sprint during a kick return. Evading multiple defenders in a scintillating display of speed and agility, he sealed the win for the Dolphins with what will be remembered as one of the greatest individual tries in NRL history.

Amidst the electric atmosphere, the Sharks, led by Nicho Hynes, fought back valiantly, only to fall short as Hynes missed an after-the-siren sideline conversion that would have forced the match into golden point.

Following a lackluster start that saw them trailing 22-0, the Sharks staged a remarkable comeback, taking a surprising lead before being thwarted by Tabuai-Fidow’s extraordinary effort.

Wayne Bennett, the mastermind behind the Dolphins’ resurgence, hailed Tabuai-Fidow’s try as one of the top moments he had witnessed in his illustrious coaching career, drawing comparisons to past legends like Xavier Coates and Steve Renouf.

Despite the Sharks’ spirited fightback, highlighted by impressive displays from players such as Royce Hunt and Jamayne Isaako, it was ultimately Tabuai-Fidow’s heroics that stole the show, securing the Dolphins’ place in the top four of the NRL ladder.

In a rollercoaster of momentum shifts, the match saw both teams experiencing periods of dominance, with the Dolphins showcasing their early lead advantage before the Sharks surged ahead, only to be outdone by Tabuai-Fidow’s brilliance.

The nail-biting conclusion, featuring a last-minute try by Sione Katoa and Hynes’ missed conversion, encapsulated the drama and intensity of the clash, leaving fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle.
