Kaufusi Bullish on Dolphins NRL Finals Push
Veteran forward Felise Kaufusi of the Dolphins NRL team is feeling positive about their chances of making it to the top eight, despite acknowledging the tough road ahead.
"It's a bit of a grind, but at the end of the day, we know what we have to do," Kaufusi said confidently.
Injuries have been a hurdle for the team, with key players like Tom Gilbert and Thomas Flegler out for the season, and others like Herbie Farnworth facing extended time on the sidelines.
However, Kaufusi sees a bright side in the development of younger players like Max Plath, who has stepped up in various positions, including filling in for injured hooker Jeremy Marshall-King.
The upcoming retirement of long-time teammate and team captain, Jesse Bromwich, adds extra motivation for the Dolphins to give their all and secure a spot in the finals, hoping to send Bromwich off in style with one last playoff push.
Despite the challenges ahead, Kaufusi is confident that the team is well-prepared and ready for the battle.
Their recent tough matches have only fueled their determination to turn things around and make a strong push for that coveted top eight spot, showcasing their resilience and growth as a team.
