but... how he played before Fitz and with Fitz are two different things.
Fitz-ball is typically played with one "genuine prop" and 2 locks, regardless of what numbers they are wearing. From a deployment PoV Fitz may not feel that he can get 80 minutes out of the Hunt + BHU combination. Enter Kaufusi, who imo has played a more mobile role at Parra, but definitely has the size to play more like a genuine prop. I think BHU playing 30-35 and each of the other guys playing 20-25 might be a nice way to roll them (number of interchanges permitting).
Williams and Kaufusi have been comparable players in terms of the way they have played in the past imho.Putting Kaufusi straight into assumed lineups might be short lived. Even if he does get the jump on the position, I think people will be shocked with how he actually plays….
Considering players like Jack Williams would have to miss out. Jack Williams on form prior to injury far exceeded Kaufusi form. Yes it’s a stretch chucking in Williams as a prop, but Kaufusi plays more like a second rower anyway !!!
