海豚队核心半卫复出 NRL第22轮周五双赛开战

海豚队在与圣乔治伊拉瓦拉龙队的比赛前夕宣布，核心半卫伊赛亚·卡托亚已从手臂骨折伤势中复出[1]。这场比赛定于澳大利亚东部时间7月31日晚上6点在沃伦体育场进行[1][6]。

在与龙队的较量中，海豚队最终以28-22取胜[4]。龙队在比赛最后两分钟仍在奋力争取达阵以扳平进入加时赛，但因后卫哈米什·斯图尔特越位被判罚，海豚队随后得分最终确保了胜利[4]。虽然龙队已确定本赛季获得垫底名次，但在这场比赛中仍然表现顽强[4]。

同日晚间8点，墨尔本风暴队将主场对阵坎特伯雷-班克斯敦斗牛犬队[1]。对于斗牛犬队而言，一场胜利将使其至少暂时进入前八名季后赛位置，该队近来状态火热，赢得过去8场中的6场[3]。不过风暴队伤兵满营，缺少卡梅伦·蒙斯特（膝伤）、哈里·格兰特（腿筋伤）和亚浓·休斯（腿筋伤）等关键球员[3]。

Star halfback Isaiya Katoa has been cleared to make his return from a broken arm in the Dolphins' clash against St George Illawarra Dragons on Friday night [1]. The match kicked off at 6 p.m. Australian Eastern Time on July 31, 2026 [1], at WIN Stadium in Wollongong [6].

The Dolphins secured a 28-22 victory over the Dragons in a tightly contested affair [4]. Despite already being confirmed as wooden spoon finalists for the season, the Dragons mounted a late charge in the match's final moments, launching an attacking assault in the last two minutes in a bid to level the score and force extra time [4]. However, a penalty against Dragons defender Hamish Stewart for being in an offside position proved decisive, allowing the Dolphins to seal their win [4]. Players including Tom Flegler and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow contributed tries for the Dolphins during the contest [2][5].

The evening's second fixture saw the Melbourne Storm host the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at 8 p.m., with the Bulldogs eyeing a top-eight spot [3]. The Bulldogs have won six of their last eight matches and a victory would at least temporarily elevate them into eighth position [3]. The Storm, however, faced significant injury concerns, missing key players Cameron Munster (knee), Harry Grant (hamstring), and Aaron Hughes (hamstring) [3].
