Dolphins sent shockwaves through the NRL yesterday with their dramatic debut victory over title favourites Sydney Roosters.

On a perfect day for the competition's newest team, Dolphins ran out 28-12 winners at a sun-kissed Suncorp Stadium.

It was a day most of the 32,000 crowd will remember never forget as the Redcliffe-based club's fairytale start played out.

Moreton Daily photographer Dominika Lis was there capturing all the action on and off the field in these three mega photo galleries.
