It was a relaxed Wayne Bennett this morning as the Dolphins’ NRL squad returned to the training field ahead of their clash against the Dragons this Thursday night, which will be a milestone game for Jamayne Isaako.
There were two notable absences at training with Tom Gilbert and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow called up for Queensland’s State-of-Origin side. The Hammer will play in the centre while Gilbert will play in the second row.
Felise Kaufusi, who faces three weeks on the sideline as the result of a grade-two careless high tackle charge in the Dolphin’s 24-16 loss to Melbourne Storm on Saturday, trained with the squad’s second group.
One of his teammates ribbed him as he walked over to the group, calling out ‘see you in three weeks’.
The squad faces a tight turnaround with their clash against the Dragons at Redcliffe’s Kayo Stadium on Thursday night (7.50pm kick-off).
