Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow narrowly missed out on scoring an \u201call-time great Magic Round try\u201d in the Dolphins\u2019 impressive victory over the Rabbitohs.<\/p>\n

And things could have gotten even worse for South Sydney seconds before halftime had the ball stuck to Tabuai-Fidow\u2019s hands at the crucial moment.<\/p>\n

A lightning fast passing sequence enabled the Dolphins an overload on the left flank which Selwyn Cobbo stormed into.<\/p>\n

As he was about to be tackled, Cobbo creatively kicked the ball through to Tabuai-Fidow.<\/p>\n

The weight of the kick seemed perfect as Hammer looked set to come through and score.<\/p>\n

But as he bent down to pick the ball over and touch down, it slipped out of his grasp.<\/p>\n

Gutted commentator Dan Ginnane said: \u201cOh, the Hammer! It would have been one of the great Magic Round tries we\u2019ve seen. But in the wet the greasy fingers just couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cSelwyn Cobbo, what about that for a play? And so close to an all-time great try.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the chance going begging, the Dolphins continued their dominance after the break as they extended their advantage to 24-0 over a disappointing Rabbitohs side.<\/p>\n

\"League<\/p>\n

And they went on to see it out, claiming a 32-10 victory.<\/p>\n

The win moves the Dolphins up to sixth, just two points behind the fourth-placed Rabbitohs.<\/p>\n

It also extends the Dolphins\u2019 winning run to three games ahead of their clash with an inconsistent Raiders side next weekend.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Friday, the Sharks piled more pressure on the Bulldogs<\/a> with a dominant 38-16 win to kick off the Magic Round weekend.<\/p>\n

It means the Bulldogs have now lost each of their last five games and are in danger of missing this year\u2019s finals \u2014 having qualified comfortably in 2025.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Sharks move up to seventh and immediately hit back from their defeat to the Rabbitohs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow narrowly missed out on scoring an \u201call-time great Magic Round try\u201d in the Dolphins\u2019 impressive victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-673063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
