The Dolphins Tongan enforcer, Felise Kaufusi has been found guilty and will now miss the Brisbane derby this weekend in a huge blow to Wayne Bennett’s side.
Kaufusi will now serve a four-game ban, instead of only a three-game suspension if he took the early guilty plea.
Storm Halfback, Jahrome Hughes received the same fate as his former teammate, Kaufusi – unsuccessful in seeking a downgrade of his careless and late tackle charge.
Hughes will now serve a two-game suspension.
