Round 4, Battle of Brisbane

[Red]

Analysis: The Dolphins have their fingers crossed that Felise Kaufusi can win a downgrade on his dangerous contact charge at the judiciary on Tuesday night. He’s been named to start, but could be facing a month’s suspension otherwise. Jarrod Wallace is back from a personal absence, with Kurt Donoghue shuffled out to the reserves.

Thought Donoghoe might have been ahead of Teague. As a middle forward and hooker only for a short spell.

Is Nikorima going to play #9 for 80min?

Can he even do that? I didn't think so.

 

[Paul]

Kafusi found guilty. To miss 3 games.

At least now The will have an excuse when Brusbane put 50 on them

If that were to happen, which it won't, Dolphins don't make excuses. Examine it carefully to try to ensure it doesn't happen again. Something the Broncos should have done after Benny's last game in charge and several times since.

Felise Kaufusi gone for 4 weeks.

Felise Kaufusi gone for 4 weeks.

He deserved a week or two. It was a pretty blatant late hit. Just wasn't close to as late or vicious as the one Suali got off with a small fine for.

It kind of deserved a penalty. Debatable that. At the very worst, due to his colourful history, a fine. 4 weeks is utterly absurd!

Seeing a reply, I guess the sin-binning was more than sufficient.

No matter. After we hammer the hapless Broncos, it will just underline our premiership credentials.

 

[Mr Fourex]

You'll do well out of Flegler if he can stay away from the judiciary.

Yep.....if you can go past his brick hands and brain snaps, that he WILL have (its just a matter of time).....then yes, he should go OK at Reddy next year.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Will Katoa play this weekend......? Injured.....

Word is he's not training with the team and Milford is instead.....

Will we see a return of the Milf against his old team mates.....?

I have a feeling fired up Milf is going to play.

If would be very beneficial to us if he did.

Disagree. Bennett consistently got the best out of him. And his best is much better than your 5/8, with or without a sore knee.

Hope you're right but that was a long time ago now. But he's been playing well in QLD Cup so he deserves a chance if Katoa is injured.

[Red]

If Wallace has gotten over whatever was wrong with him, it should, or will hopefully go a decent way to mitigating the absence of Kafusi. But 4 weeks for a club with depth issues, as the Dolphins have, is really, really unfortunate!
