Dolphins Team List: Round 9 v Cowboys

Hard-hitting second-rower Felise Kaufusi has been named in the starting lineup for this Saturday’s XXXX Derby against the Cowboys at 7:35 pm in Townsville.

Kaufusi returns from a hamstring injury suffered in round six, replacing Kenny Bromwich who is following concussion protocols from round 8.

Connelly Lemuelu will also make his return to the NRL squad this week to face his former club.

After suffering a knee injury in round two, Lemuelu had a successful outing for the Dolphins’ affiliate club Norths Devils in round seven of the Hostplus Cup, playing 80 minutes and scoring a try.

Lemuelu will come off the bench, with Oryn Keeley moving to 18th man.
