Dolphins backrower Felise Kaufusi will miss the NRL club's next four games, including the derby against Brisbane, for his hit on Newcastle's Jackson Hastings.
abc.net.au/news/felise-kaufusi-four-game-suspension-nrl/102127272Dolphins forward Felise Kaufusi doesn't believe his previous brushes with the NRL judiciary led to him receiving a four-game suspension that has rubbed him out of Friday's blockbuster Brisbane derby against the Broncos.
But while Hughes will miss games against the West Tigers and Souths, Kaufusi is staring at a month on the sidelines starting with this weekend's maiden Brisbane derby against the Broncos. A successful downgrade would have resulted in Kaufusi, who has developed a reputation for playing the game on the edge, escaping with a $3000 fine and no suspension."It'll take some time for this to sink in, I'm pretty disappointed with the verdict.
He contrasted Kaufusi's hit with a grade-one charge given to Sydney Roosters centre Joseph Suaalii for a tackle on Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad from round two.
