Kaufusi the man to put punch in Parra

[Avenger]

Parramatta have decided desperate times call for desperate measures and have launched a massive bid to sign Melbourne's tough prop Antonio Kaufusi in a bid to give them more presence up-front.

A powerhouse 23 year old who played for Australia in 2006, Kaufusi has been an integral part of the Storm pack that has dominated all others in the past two seasons and would be a handy gain for the struggling Eels, who are being hammered in the forwards.

I liked that Jeff Lima fella better, but Kaufusi will do.

 

[Johns Magic]

He's been soft for over a year now

 

[TheRam]

Yeah with supposedly what money? It's to late, the place stinks now to all players, and the coach sucks as well. We have buckleys.

I agree since he got injured in that SOO game.

 

[Bigfella]

On the right lines.

Hope we don't pay too much given the injury issues.

Certainly the type of player we desperately need. encouraging to hear; but the source is questionable.

So what we will pay massively over what he is worth?

Especially with attitudes like that....

 

[Stagger eel]

lol...what a load of sh*t.

 

[fish eel]

What are we paying him with?

I'd love for it to happen (big Kaufusi fan).

But, and this is not a potshot at the struggling Eels, why would you leave the reigning Premiers (who will most likely see much more success with the great structure they have in place) unless you were forced out? And at 23, I doubt he's being squeezed out of Melbourne - specially with Folau leaving.

He's been relegated to reserve grade at the Storm this year

I thought he was injured.

I thought he was injured.

Nup he was just dropped a few times I'm pretty sure.

Ah.

Well, I'd still take a punt - he's young, and a change of scenery might just do the trick. Worked for Paul Stringer.

 

[Stagger eel]

I really think Antonio should have a quiet chat to his manager about which club he chooses to be his bargaining tool....

 

[oldmancraigy]

IF we sign him, it better be for 50k

I'd be happy to have the guy here - even if he doesn't play, at least he has something different to offer than our current stock of props in that he's big and mobile and a tough runner of the ball (when his head is on right).

 

[Gronk]

FMD he has played SoO and had a Kangaroo jumper in his cupboard. At 23yo he must have something to offer ??
