The Norfolk Seawolves would enter the playoffs at a record of 9-5 being tied with the Kansas City Coyotes for the best record.

There Iosefa would record 8 tackles and 1 Tackle for loss, but this feat would be outshined by their 20+ point loss.

2055

Following the dissapointing loss, Iosefa would start working harder then he ever did, stating in a 2054 interview with ESPN, "I didn't want to end my minors career without an Ultimini". The Seawolves would have a strong start to the season, going on a 3 game win streak before losing a one posession game to the Kansas City Coyotes, then followed by a shocking loss to the London Royals. This would be their final losing streak, going 10-4 in the season being tied for the number #1 record in the DSFL with Bondi Beach. Iosefa had a slower season, only having 34 tackles with 3 Sacks. Norfolk was seen as the favorite to win the Ultimini, in multiple reports, prior to their playoff game against BBB, the team went on many parties staying up late. This would later go on to crash them, as they got eliminated by the eventual champions BBB. Following this Iosefa would be called up to his ISFL Affiliate, The Orange County Otters.
