Dolphins forward Felise Kaufusi faces another suspension after his second offense this year, while Brisbane Broncos fullback Reece Walsh has been fined for a shoulder charge.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, Kaufusi received a sin bin during the Dolphins' narrow victory against the Warriors for a dangerous maneuver against Warriors player Jacob Laban, who is expected to miss time due to his injury.
During the match, Kaufusi executed what appeared to be a crusher tackle on Laban, hitting him at knee height and subsequently dragging him down, which caused Laban to buckle under the impact.
This incident led to a Grade 2 charge for Kaufusi, resulting in a mandatory two-match suspension if he pleads guilty early; if he disputes the charge, this could extend to three games.
This match marked Kaufusi's return from a prior suspension, but now he will miss upcoming matches against the Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos over the next two weeks, with a potential sidelining for the Manly Sea Eagles in Round 25.
