In a strategic move akin to a perfectly timed line-out jump, Cronulla Sharks forward Oregon Kaufusi has made a decisive call on his playing location for the 2025 season.
The lone member of the Sharks roster to have tasted the glory of an NRL Grand Final, Kaufusi showcased his consistency and skill as one of the club's standout forwards this past season, particularly shining in the crucial early stages of matches.
Sources, speaking in hushed tones of secrecy, have disclosed to Zero Tackle that Kaufusi has opted to activate the clause in his contract that will see him donning the blue and white jersey of the Cronulla Sharks for the upcoming 2025 NRL season.
This retention ensures that Kaufusi will form a formidable partnership with the incoming recruit Addin Fonua-Blake from the New Zealand Warriors.
"He flies under the radar," remarked Cronulla Sharks head coach Craig Fitzgibbon in admiration of Kaufusi's contributions.
With Kaufusi locked in for the season ahead, the Sharks look to forge ahead with strength and determination, ready to tackle whatever challenges come their way on the field.
