'Welcome back to rugby, Joseph.' 🔥 9WWOS NRL Wallabies
"He has made his commitment to the Roosters club for the next year and a half crystal clear, and we're excited about the path we're on.""The Sydney Roosters have been great to me and my family since I got here and the club is always going to be a big part of me," Suaalii said."There's still a long way to go in my journey with the Roosters and my sole focus is on working hard every day to keep improving and performing my role for the team.
Nine's Danny Weidler reported that Suaalii would be "catapulted" straight into the Wallabies squad for their 2024 spring tour of the northern hemisphere and be a "headline act" for the Lions tour and World Cup. "There must have been a lot of money on offer because it's not often that Nick Politis will lose a player that he wants to keep," Weidler said."There's rumours that it could have been around $2 million a season to get him to cross codes."
Former Wallaby Stephen Hoiles said the lure of playing sevens at the 2028 and 2032 Olympics was likely another major factor for Suaalii.
