NRL Judiciary Round 3: Felise Kaufusi seeks a downgraded charge
Felise Kaufusi has decided to apply for his late goal against Jackson Hastings during his team’s victory over the Knights in round 3.
In the final phase of the game, the executor of the Dolphin was reported twice within five minutes when he accused Newcastles playmaker with his attack and later accused him for the offense.

Kaufusi was imposed on the consultations of the Match Review Committee for dangerous contacts of level 2 with a lock of four games that could have been reduced to three if he had decided to do an early creed.

However, the 30-year-old will now be in front of the judiciary on Tuesday evening to play against Brisbane in the historic duel of his team on Friday evening.
“The Dolphins will aim to reduce the classification so that Kaufusi can play against the Broncos in the Battle of Brisbane Blockbuster on Friday,” said the club in a statement.
“Kaufusi would only be finished with a fine, while his suspension is increased from three to four weeks if the challenge is unsuccessful.”
It will be a busy night at the league headquarters, in which the Jahrome Hughes also decides to apply for a downgrading for his protégé.
The Stormddack was quoted for dangerous contacts after he had entered his shoulder while he had put Taah’s Boyd under kick during the defeat of his team on Saturday.
Hughes risks a lock for two games in front of the tribunal to reduce the indictment and be available for Melbourne’s collision with the West’s Tigers.
In the meantime, Fletcher Baker is trapped between the hearing of Kaufusi and Hughes after not guilty due to a negligent charges against Campbell Graham.
