Antonio kafusi is returning to Australia and says he might be returning to one of his old clubs that's either storm cowboys or knights...im assuming its proberly knights but would be kool having 2 sets of brothers at the club
KAUFUSI RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA
Huddersfield Giants former Australian International prop forward Antonio Kaufusi will leave the club in mid October and return home to Australia. The 29 year old played 18 games in the 2014 season and spent time during the year on loan to Bradford.
Antonio Kaufusi commented: “I have enjoyed my time in the UK but we have decided as a family to return home. I know I had next year at the Giants but an opportunity has appeared back home for us at an old club which we want to pursue at this stage. I would like to thank all my coaches and team mates for a most enjoyable year and the supporters too who have been great to me and my family. I leave the club in great shape and look forward to watching their development and in particular the younger props at Huddersfield who I think have a great future in game if they keep working hard. “
Giants Managing Director Richard Thewlis commented: “Antonio has been a super professional at the club and someone who the younger lads do look up to. His decision to move back home is a disappointment in many ways but he is looking to the future and he has a great long term opportunity for employment to pursue which may not be there if he remained in the UK for another season. He leaves with our very best wishes and thanks for his time with the claret and gold. In terms of our squad Antonio is right to point out that we have a number of highly talented younger players in the prop forward position and we have of course welcomed Craig Huby to to the club. The younger lads I am sure will now see their path to the starting seventeen in a slightly different light and the competition in there during the vital off season period will, I am sure, be fierce

So, Cowboys or Knights?
Anyone watch the UK league? Can he still go? I get the impression from some he wasn't that great even when he was here......i liked him - and he can't be any worse than G.Rose....and he knows the expectations.....Bring him home!
And get Lima while you're over there!!
