The Dolphins are determined to enjoy a winning return to Kayo Stadium as they look to bounce back from a disappointing trip to the Warriors.
Wayne Bennett's men fell 24-20 to an undermanned Warriors and they are chasing an immediate response when they host the Raiders on Saturday.
It's the Dolphins first match at their Redcliffe base since a 38-0 drubbing of the Dragons in Round 2.
Brett Kenny seals it
Fullback Trai Fuller is set to return to the No.1 jumper with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow on Queensland Origin duties.
Ricky Stuart's side is also looking to rebound after a disappointing 44-16 loss to the Roosters on Saturday afternoon.
Canberra have endured an up and down season, with injuries to key players making it difficult to build consistency.
Despite the challenges, they currently sit eighth on the ladder and a win will see them draw level with the fourth-placed Dolphins on 16 points.
