An under-strength \ufeffDolphins<\/a> side has piled on the points in hot and humid conditions at TIO Stadium in Darwin, which Immortal Andrew Johns described as a "horror movie" for the Eels\ufeff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A hat-trick to \ufeffJack Bostock and doubles to \ufeffMax Plath and \ufeffTesi Niu saw the Dolphins come from behind to secure a 44-16 win at the Eels' home away from home.<\/p>\n

The Eels dominated the opening 20 minutes of the match, their offloads hurting the Dolphins early, before the visitors flipped the script.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins surpassed 40 points on the scoreboard for the first time in the club's history in a performance that was sure to make coach Wayne Bennett<\/a> \ufeffsmile. Bennett did not travel to Darwin because of illness.<\/p>\n

After 16 minutes without scoring, Eels second-rower Shaun Lane \ufeffbroke the deadlock after being sent over with a pin-point pass from Joey Lussick.<\/p>\n

Both sides then had a try crossed out because of errors as scrappy play dominated proceedings.<\/p>\n

Will Penisini made it back-to-back tries for Parramatta \u2014 spinning out of the tackle to score in the corner.<\/p>\n

However, the Dolphins soon responded through Bostock on the wing, who benefited from a double pump and subsequent loopy pass from playmaker Isaiya Katoa to score.<\/p>\n

Sean Russell and Jamayne Isaako both failed to convert in front of goal for their side as the hosts took an 8-4 lead into the main break.<\/p>\n

To start the second half, Clint Gutherson \ufeffadded two points through a penalty shot after Oryn Keeley was penalised for putting pressure on the kicker.<\/p>\n

But the Dolphins soon levelled the match as \ufeffNiu found a gap in the Eels' defence and Jamayne hit his target.<\/p>\n

Hamiso Tabuai-Fiidow's replacement at fullback, Trai Fuller, then sprinted downfield to score following a stunning linebreak from Josh Kerr and run from Jeremy Marshall-King.<\/p>\n

"That was too easy\ufeff," Andrew Johns said of the try in commentary for Nine.<\/p>\n

Dylan Brown barged over for a consolation try in the 77th minute, breaking a 47-minute stranglehold by the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

Making matters worse for the Eels, centre Daejarn Asi was rubbed out with a category-one head injury. He will now miss Parramatta's round-eight clash with Manly on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
