The Dolphins have boosted their forward depth with the signing of Titans prop Herman Ese’ese on a one-year deal for 2023.
“The Dolphins have reunited international prop Herman Ese’ese with coach Wayne Bennett for their inaugural season in the NRL,” the club said in a statement.
“Ese’ese has signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins that will add further depth to their already-impressive list of talent in the forwards.”

Dolphins CEO Terry Reader was excited to get the former Knights, Broncos and Bulldogs journeymen on board.
“Herman is an experienced campaigner who will give us another strong option as a middle forward,” Reader said.
“He is a solid professional that has been around several different systems and has played over a hundred NRL matches in one of the toughest positions on the field.
“We are excited about what he could do again under our coach Wayne Bennett and are confident he can replicate that form for the Dolphins to become an important part of our pack.”
The 29-year-old has scored eight tries in 109 games for the Bulldogs, Broncos, Knights and Titans since his debut in 2015 and has played six Tests for Samoa and New Zealand.
