The Dolphins snapped a three-game losing streak last week as they claimed a win over the Gold Coast to keep their slim finals hopes alive.
The Phins have to rely on South Sydney doing them a favour by beating the Sydney Roosters, before they must take care of business against a second-string Canberra outfit.
The Dolphins will head into the last round of the regular season in with a chance of playing finals for the second year in a row and will be hoping to avoid the heartbreak of last year.

Phins latest team news:
The Dolphins will head into the last round of the regular season with a small shot at qualifying for the finals.
The Phins lost to the Knights to miss out on a top-eight finish on the last day of the regular season in 2024. This time around they need to beat the Raiders and hope the Roosters have already slipped up against Souths.
Herbie Farnworth will return from a hamstring injury if Kristian Woolf's side are still a chance of making the finals. However, he has only been included in the extended squad to start with.
Kulikefu Finefuiaki is set to return from an ankle injury and replaces Connelly Lemuelu, who has dropped out after copping a head knock last week.
