I have faith too. After early season doubts. So I trust Woolf's decision on Kaufusi and it seems he's not getting an extension. Shame because as @Dolph said, if it wasn't for his brain explosions and far too frequent penalties, sin binnings, suspensions, he would be good enough for another year.
He is in process getting one was said in the media , if woolf wants him there , thats all it matters he trusts his 30 , and now we have depth and good to see could be a diffrent player next year

I was in favour of re-signing Kaufusi but not anymore. This suspensions have gone overboard. It's not just being suspended but the position he put the team in by justifiably being sin-binned was unacceptable and it keeps happening. Plus I agree with media reports that he was lucky to get away with 2 weeks. When he comes if he does anything so blatant as that again, he'll get 6~7 weeks. Time to let him go after this season. It seems this has been Woolf's thinking for a while.
I agree on this, I too was in favour of re-signing him and agree on your comments following that too. Woolf you can also tell is regenerating the squad.

Not in the clear quite yet but looking positive.
“I’m aiming (for round one). Whether it happens or not is a different story but that’s the goal I have in mind.

“It’s good to get some positive news. I’ve got another check-up in pre-season to make sure that everything’s still improving.

“If you want to say (I’ve avoided retirement) you could. I’m going to go back and play and you know what it’s like, anything can happen when we play.

“We enter the field with good shoulders and can come off and never play again.

“At this point, everything is looking good and we’re aiming to play at the beginning of next year if everything goes well.”

Trust me on this. He’s ready to go for round 1 next year could have even comeback this year but Woolf rather play a long cautious game. Big ticks to Woolf on this.

This week Dolphins have held 4 media days the Monday media was Katoa which channel 10 showed footage of training where Flegler was involved in opposed contact work.

Frankie Molo suspended for one match. Ray Stone is long odds to play vs the Broncos due to two bung shoulders. That would make nine regulars unavailable.

We obviously aren't part of the NRL's final script.

Woolf was right, when you have a fucking moron shaping up like he was, do you want them to just sit there and take it. This is where taking the biff out of the game has kind of made things worse.

I am firmly of the belief, if you allowed the biff, Spencer wouldn't be shaping up. He does that knowing he isn't going to be hit back, because most people aren't morons. But the minute he gets knocked out by someone that knows what they are doing rather than just any moron, he will pull his head in.

Mark Gyer is a great example, shaped up to Wally, then backed away.

4 players didn't need to go in that. 1 did, and that is it.

Bring back the biff. having 12 guys all pushing and shoving while smiling at each other is frankly the most pathetic part of the game.

All our bloke did was shape up. He didn't even throw a punch when Leniu agressively ran up and got in his face.

The ref fucked us plain and simple. He even said, i need 2 and 2.

The ref's have been told to keep games even. Its fucking dodgy as fuck.

But I watch in the hope the nrl deem it to be our turn to win one year

At least the talk about it has to such a ridiculous ruling not being made again. Though it doesn't help us much.

Dolphins star Felise Kaufusi in danger of being worst offender after 16 weeks of suspensions and $10,000 in fines​

Is Felise Kaufusi the NRL’s ultimate bad boy? The Dolphins enforcer is in danger of becoming the game’s worst behaved player after racking up a shocking tally of suspensions and fines.​

I've long been a big fan of what he has brought to the Dolphins but this latest suspension and how and when it came about was enough for me. Just too much. Not only the suspensions but the penalties against and sin-binnings. I think it's only right for Dolphins not to offer him an extension.
