Kaufusi replaces Hazelton for Sharks; Storm and Broncos stars return for preliminary final on Friday.
Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has confirmed that Samoan international Oregon Kaufusi will replace Tom Hazelton in the side to play the Storm on Friday night for a place in the grand final.
Fitzgibbon had struggled to choose between the pair for Saturday night's semi-final against the Raiders but opted for Hazelton after Kaufusi suffered a calf injury in the Round 22 win against the Cowboys.
However, Hazelton lasted just four minutes before being ruled out of the match with a Category 1 head knock that will sideline him from the preliminary final in Melbourne under the NRL's 11-day stand down policy for concussions.
