The Dolphins are set to come to Perth to play the Knights at Optus Stadium in a highly anticipated clash.

The game aims to bring the NRL to Western Australia and highlight the possibility of Perth having its very own team.

Dolphins CEO Terry Reader told Adam Papalia he thinks Perth should be home to the 18th NRL team.

“Perth’s in a very good position,” said Reader.

“When they do get round to setting the criteria.. and trying to make our game truly national Perth would have to be the forefront of that.”

“It’s about bringing new fans into the game.”
