D\ufeffolphins<\/a> coach Wayne Bennett<\/a> produced another iconic press conference after his side's 30-14 win<\/a> over the Titans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins have won their past two matches, along with having a bye, and now sit on top of the ladder\ufeff.<\/p>\n

Told his side was now provisionally first, equal with the Panthers, Cowboys and Storm, Bennett produced a rare press conference smile and made a seasonal joke.<\/p>\n

"Wow, I probably won't get near the Easter Bunny now, I'll be more popular than him," he laughed.<\/p>\n

"How good's that, hey? Three weeks into the competition."<\/p>\n

Bennett's Dolphins had to come from behind at Cbus Super Stadium, after the Titans went out to a 10-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The away side was also at a disadvantage in the first half when Max Plath was sin-binned<\/a> but managed to not concede a point in his absence.<\/p>\n

In a dominant second half for the Dolphins, the biggest highlight was a rare try assist to Jesse Bromwich who put his fellow prop Josh Kerr through a hole to score in the 69th minute.<\/p>\n

Bromwich was asked about his try assist post-match but didn't offer much of a reply, before Bennett cheekily interjected: "Ask Josh \ufeffabout it".<\/p>\n

Prompted about the form of Kerr, Bennett jokingly replied with a laugh: "Don't say that"\ufeff.<\/p>\n

"Let us handle Josh, OK … Don't start giving him wraps."<\/p>\n

Bennett was in the mood to praise some other players, though, namely Jamayne Isaako who kicked two important sideline conversions in the first half.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"I think the thing that shouldn't be forgotten here is Jamayne Isaako's two goals, we could've been (down) 10-8 at half-time but we were up 12-10 and they were both from the sideline," he said.<\/p>\n

"He practises a lot, he's a very dedicated, wonderful player for us \ufeffand part of the team, and is doing those little things that give you an edge."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
