Dolphins nearing long-term extension for coach Kristian Woolf

The Dolphins are set to finalize a contract extension for coach Kristian Woolf, expected to be completed at the end of their season. Woolf, who has led the team impressively since taking over as head coach, is under contract until 2027, but the club aims to secure his future quickly to fend off rivals. Dolphins CEO Terry Reader emphasized Woolf's strong track record, including his success in the Super League and with Tonga. The club is preparing for a Preliminary Final against the Sydney Roosters, while also upgrading the contracts of three promising players for the future.
