The Roosters and Rugby Australia have reportedly held shock talks regarding a potential loan deal for Joseph Suaalii to return to the NRL in 2026.
RA were reportedly considering loaning the 21-year-old back to the Roosters in 2026, inbetween the 2015 British and Irish Lions tour and the 2027 Rugby World Cup.Suaalii is contracted with RA until the end of the 2027 tournament, but he reportedly also has a $4 million, two-year option in his favour for the 2028 and 2029 seasons.
Any potential deal would have seen the Tricolours chip in to Suaalii’s mega $8.5 million, five-year contract for the time he spends away from the 15-man code. His contract with the Tricolours reportedly sat at around $800,000 per-season, and the club reportedly weren’t willing to table a deal in excess of that to entice him to return.
