The Dolphins have re-signed star fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow on a permanent contract extension that will keep him at the club until at least the end of 2029. The deal comes just one day after the November 1 deadline passed, which allowed rival NRL clubs to negotiate with players off-contract after 2027.

Club chief executive Terry Reader praised the retention, highlighting Tabuai-Fidow's impact during the team's run to the preliminary final and his ongoing campaign with Samoa at the Rugby League World Cup.
