Dolphins<\/a> star fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow<\/a> has locked up his future, re-signing with the club through to the end of 2029.<\/p>\n

The try-scoring machine, who is currently in Samoan camp at the Rugby League<\/a> World Cup, is the first domino to fall in the days after November 1, confirming he will be going nowhere for at least the next three seasons.<\/p>\n

The two-year extension to his time is believed to be set to bump his salary up to around $1.4 million per year, stretching the Dolphins<\/a> as they attempt to hang on to other star outside backs in Jack Bostock<\/a> and Herbie Farnworth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bostock is believed to be interested in a return to Sydney where the St George Illawarra Dragons<\/a> lead the race, while Herbie Farnworth<\/a> has been linked to the Sydney Roosters<\/a> for months.<\/p>\n

Tabuai-Fidow though re-signing has been hailed as one of the biggest wins for the Dolphins<\/a> in club history, with CEO Terry Reader saying Tabuai-Fidow has been around for plenty of the biggest moments to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cHamiso has been part of some of the biggest moments in our club’s short history, from scoring our first-ever NRL<\/a> try to helping us reach our first Finals Series,\u201d Reader said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a player who can change a game in an instant, and his record of 66 tries in Dolphins<\/a> colours speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cHammer’s re-signing shows the environment we have built at the Dolphins<\/a> is something that players value, as is being a part of a squad that will continue to challenge every season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHamiso has been with us from the beginning, and we’re excited to have him continue that journey with the Dolphins<\/a> over the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tabuai-Fidow is the third player the Dolphins<\/a> have locked up in recent times, with Selwyn Cobbo<\/a> and Kulikefu Finefeuiaki<\/a> also confirming their futures.<\/p>\n

It’s understood second-rower Connelly Lemuelu<\/a> will join them soon, while Thomas Flegler is yet to make up his mind and could leave the club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dolphins star fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has locked up his future, re-signing with the club through to the end…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":949644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-949643","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\/949643","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=949643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/949644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=949643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=949643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=949643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
