Kaufusi crashed over to score the first try in Cronulla’s 34-14 thumping of Newcastle at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday, then his sharp short pass helped set up their second for fellow front-rower Addin Fonua-Blake.

“I'll just have to have a look through it and just see where we think that the problems are and take what the main one is and see if we improve that for next week … perhaps it was complacency, getting that sort of start and just putting slippers on, I'm not quite sure why, I'd hate to think that that's that happened.
