Dolphins defeat Titans as coaches debate officiating impact in season finale

The Dolphins ended the Titans' 2026 NRL season with a 24-20 victory in their final match. Titans coach Josh Hannay expressed frustration over officiating, specifically citing the sin-binning of Keano Kini and a contested try awarded to Herbie Farnworth. Hannay argued that multiple pivotal calls prevented his team from securing the win despite their late-game momentum. Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf acknowledged that his side benefited from some contentious decisions, including the Kini sin-binning and the Farnworth try, while noting that the Titans also received favorable rulings in the second half. The match ended with the Titans twice reduced to 12 men, including a late binning of Moeaki Fotuaika. The Dolphins now look ahead to the upcoming finals series, while the Titans enter the off-season.
