Official Oregon Kaufusi

[CHOGM]

Oregon’s stats were really great Friday night. Better then Uele, but no knock on him. He looked especially damaging late in the game. Good call by Fitz to start him, I’m calling that he’ll take over Rudolph’s role till he’s back.

I think Oregon is better the more minutes he plays. Has a good work rate and doesn’t miss many tackles.

Was guilty of not pushing up quick enough on the Roosters' first try though (24th minute). Might need to keep his stints down under 20.

Out of the forwards, I feel like only Nikora has cemented his position each week. Every other player has an opportunity to put their hand up to cement a position still.

It may just be an adjustment to the demands of starting. Did he do that at the Eels? At the back end of the game he looked better than any forward on the ground for me. This week will be interesting. Up against a weaker pack.

No. He rarely started, and the majority (~75%) of his game was in stints under 20 minutes. His normal usage was playing ~15-17 minutes either side of half time, similar to how Jack Williams was used on the weekend (and in 2021).

It's not surprising that he looked fresh at the back end. He played the first 26 minutes, had a rest for about an hour, then played the final 15.

Here is Kaufusi for the Eels last year.

Welcome to the forum, @BurgoShark Thanks HB. Figured having things like your birth year in your username was probably OK back in 2008 but a bit more risky in 2023.

Gotcha. Good job Fitz with the rotation.

I’d like to see if he can become a 50 minute prop. Give him the first 25 minutes for a few weeks and see how he goes. His runs last week at times made it look like we had two Talakais out there.

I wouldn’t say that either had better raw numbers. Kaufusi had a few more runs, but Uele had a few more tackles. That just tells me the Roosters had more ball during the period Uele was on but Kaufusi wasn’t.

Yeah - it’s all about growth and development for him. He’s still young. It looks like he has already overtaken Hunt in the eyes of the coach.

I asked for williams to start last week, but what would I know. Keep this bloke there. Him and BHU are a beast of a duo as starting front rowers

 

[sharks2010]

One of those players who just looks better because we win, been doing the same job all year imo

 

[MMsharks]

warmed to this guy
fitting in nicely

getting game time helps

 

[puma1355]

No nonsense guy

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

He had a good game.

 

[Milkshark]

Played well, should keep starting

Yup. 15-20 either side of half time is the standard for him. Starting has just made that the first and last 20 instead of the middle 40.

 

[beaver2233]

Great first stint I thought

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Good first half.

 

[MMsharks]

well done young sir!
now to come back on and do the same
