Jamayne Isaako plays final Dolphins game before the Storm switch
Jamayne Isaako will play his last game for the Dolphins before joining the Storm.
Isaako has scored 1043 points across all 97 games in the Dolphins' short history and topped the NRL scoreboard in three of his four seasons with the club. The player joined from Wayne Bennett as a foundation player when he was at a career crossroads, having been released by the Broncos and not re-signed by the Titans.
The salary cap squeeze means Redcliffe cannot match the Storm's offer to retain him, though he said he would have preferred to stay. Friday night's preliminary final will be his last appearance at home before departing.
He is determined to end his Dolphins stint with a red-hot effort during the finals campaign.
