In a significant move for the Dolphins, the club has extended the contract of veteran player Felise Kaufusi, who will now remain with the team until the end of the 2027 season. Kaufusi, a 33-year-old with an impressive resume of 221 NRL games and 17 State of Origin appearances for Queensland, has been a crucial part of the Dolphins' leadership group since joining the club for their inaugural season.
Since arriving from the Melbourne Storm, Kaufusi has entrenched himself as a key figure at the Redcliffe-based club.

With the Dolphins still in the hunt for a maiden finals appearance, Kaufusi will now look to guide his younger teammates through the remainder of the season. The club's decision to extend his contract demonstrates their faith in Kaufusi's ability to continue mentoring the next generation of Dolphins players as the team builds towards a successful future.
