Footy world reacts to huge opening day clash at Suncorp between Dolphins and Roosters

It was a historic day at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Sunday when the Dolphins shocked the mighty Sydney Roosters 28-18 in front of an impressive crowd of 32,177.

Fans at the ground and on social media were quick to share their experience.

For the record, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow scored Redcliffe’s opening try and the club’s first in the National Rugby League.

Wayne Bennett is the master. He’s been bombarded for the past 12 months over his inability to sign a marquee player and he orchestrates what we saw this afternoon. Like I said…the master. #NRLDolphinsRoosters

Surely this ends the Dolphins spoon chat. They're coached by Wayne Bennett… put some respect on that man's name! #NRLDolphinsRoosters #NRL

When Lang Park is rocking there is nothing like it – Origin especially. But that ‘Redcliffe’ chant in the 2nd half was as good as it gets. Goose bumps.
