Felise Kaufusi is set to miss two matches through suspension in a sour postscript to the Dolphins’ record-breaking rout of North Queensland.

The veteran forward went to the sin bin for rushing out of the line and flooring Tom Duffy with a late, high hit during the first half of Saturday’s 58-4 win.

On Sunday morning, the match review committee handed Kaufusi a grade-three dangerous contact charge, the worst possible grading.

It means Kaufusi will miss upcoming matches against Newcastle in Perth and South Sydney by taking the early guilty plea.

He would risk sitting out the following clash against Cronulla by challenging the ruling.

Kaufusi’s absence will leave Woolf with a selection dilemma given fellow middle forward options Daniel Saifiti, Tom Gilbert, Thomas Flegler and Max Plath are dealing with long-term injuries.

His former Storm teammate Kenny Bromwich is a chance for an NRL recall if he can recover from a neck injury in time.

Newcastle forward Thomas Cant has been charged for his high shot on Hugo Savala from the 12-8 loss to the Sydney Roosters but can accept a $1000 fine.

Earlier in the round, Sharks pivot Braydon Trindall was fined after being charged with dangerous contact in Thursday’s win over the Dragons.

Trindall hit Kyle Flanagan late after a kick and has been pinged $1800.

Hard-nosed forward Radley suffered his second game-ending head knock of the season attempting to tackle Fletcher Hunt in Saturday night’s win in Newcastle.

Radley has one of the most extensive concussion histories in the NRL, estimated to have gone down with seven game-ending head knocks in the past four seasons.

He will miss at least next week’s clash against North Queensland before the Roosters have their third bye of the season. Egan Butcher also copped a game-ending head knock.

“They said they were close to passing (head injury assessments),” Robinson said. “They’re going to have this week and then our bye week so they’re going to have some rest on the back of that.

“Do the right recovery, he gets the bonus of an extra week (off).”

Wednesday night’s Origin clash will cause plenty of headaches for coaches this week and the travel burden from the match being in Perth will make a quick turnaround even harder.

Penrith have a nightmare scenario of five players being involved in Origin and then having to fly to Auckland for Saturday’s stoush with the Warriors, who only have Maroons forward Kurt Capewell on rep duty.

Dolphins vs Knights at HBF Park, Perth: 5.30pm, Saturday June 21

Felise Kaufusi will be missing from the pack for the next 2-3 matches due to a high tackle ban.

Knights: Kalyn Ponga did not play for the Knights after Origin I so Fletcher Sharpe could end up at fullback again.
