Dolphins star Anthony Milford is still available to Super League clubs.
The former Brisbane Broncos star and Samoan international spent last year at the NRL’s newest club the Dolphins but was reportedly told he can explore his options and he was linked with both Catalans Dragons and Leigh Leopards.
Milford is available to all clubs for 2025 being out of contract which allows him to enter negotiations with other clubs ahead of the 2025 season but Milford is available to clubs immediately for the right offer and we could see him leave the Dolphins for Super League soon.
The Dolphins have been busy in recent years with recruitment including Felise Kaufusi. After spending seven weeks of his team’s inaugural season on the sidelines through suspension, Dolphins forward Kaufusi is looking ahead to a more consistent year on the field as his club aims to build on what they achieved this year.
Dubbed ‘Phin Diesel’, in the early stages of the season, Kaufusi’s aggression and imposing presence was lauded by fans, but tackles gone wrong then meant that he was forced to miss Round 4 to Round 7 for Dangerous Contact and then Round 13 to Round 15 with a Careless High Tackle charge.
The former Storm man also copped a $3000 fine for a Careless High Tackle later in the season.
Kaufusi, who also shared his hurt at relinquishing his Maroons jersey while he was on the sidelines, said although he would always be an aggressive player, he needed to make adjustments to stay on the field.
“(Last year was) probably one of the most inconsistent years I’ve had of footy, felt like I didn’t play too much last year,” Kaufusi said.
“It sucks when you’re out suspended, you’re not injured; you’re able to train and there’s no excuse there, so it’s really just honing it down a bit.
“(With making big hits), the key word there is legal, so a second too late, you’re looking a couple of weeks, a tiny bit higher, looking a couple of weeks.
“There are rules in the game for a reason … that’s so no one gets seriously injured.
“(Next season, I am) just looking to stay on the field and I think all it is, is the target zone just needs to drop a bit and be a split second earlier and I should be right.
“Everyone’s saying I have a big enforcer role, but for me, I think it’s just part of my game, that’s who I am.
“I’m aggressive, it’s part of my DNA, but … there guidelines or rules for a reason and just (to) stay inside them.”
