Oregon Kaufusi

" It's reported Oregon Kaufusi has not activated his player option with the Sharks for the 2025 season and is therefore a free-agent and able to sign with rival clubs. " - Fox Sports

Should we go for him?

  Kaufusi has added an offload to his game, but out of the options he is the best player as far as Props are concerned. Afoa is the other Prop option.

    We owe him nothing unless he wants to come back and do a train and trial and start on a minimum with KPI's.

I think he was doing quite well for us towards the end of his time. Would defo take him.

JR would certainly at polish his game.

    271 NRL games, 15 matches for Australia. I think he might have some insight.

2023 Oregon hell no.

2024 Oregon with a more mobile, stronger frame and a developing offload on a friendly contract hell yes

"This one I do not mind actually. I loved Dean but he is a back-up. Pezet can play that back-up 7 role, as in moves from 6 to 7, better I would presume. He was off-contract in 2026 anyway so we needed a new person to take over and this helps with…"

"EA, you know way more than most about our juniors. Who do you rate higher? Lorenzo or Fletcher ?

From small snippets of Fletcher, he seems to run well and could be a 6. Do you think he is the one they are looking at or Lorenzo?"
