If the Roosters were to sign Joseph Suaalii?

[The Skeez]

Given his athleticism, size & skill for a mere 16yo and knowing that he will grow even more over the years..

If the Roosters were to sign Joseph Suaalii,
where would you play him?

Sonny has 14 days with not much to do - get him to call the young fella.

[OMR]

No thanks, let’s see how he handles pressure playing and all the expectations first.

[Chook]

I would love to sign him just to see the meltdown from Crowe.

Chook.

That would be funny. Another entry into his Book for Fools.

[JAF]

Nah - Maybe get him at the end of this contract (when he is 20) after hype has settled down

Hey bro, you'll get to play with Sanjay Bill Williams!

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

As brilliant and talented as he seems to be, I would want to see him get settled and established in first grade first. It seems logical to me to start him on the wing, then consider moving him into the centres.

Let Souths mess up their salary cap for an untried 16yo kid. They need middle forwards and their intent on signing outside backs. Going to be interesting to see what happpens in a couple of years time when Walker finishes up and Reynolds is past his use by date.

I’m just interested where they’ll first play him and what position they see him eventually settling.

Start him on the wing?

[IRoosterManI]

hard to gauge just how good the kid is, all the highlights ive seen is him against guys half his size who look scared to tackle him...he wont get the same treatment against men, he literally could be anything so to throw this much money at him is insane imo... lol@souffs are burying themselves atm and I am LOVING it.

[Kingbilly]

He will be middle aged at 25.
Wonder how much the chat in Coffs was worth to the parents ?

[Bruce Pickett]

We will move in after Maximus chucks a tanty and phones at him after a few bad performances.

[Waylander]

There's been so many kids that have looked a million bucks in the juniors because of superior size and strength, only to come back to the pack when they play against their physical equals. I wouldn't pay big money for him until I see him succeed against opposition that he simply can't overpower & intimidate because of a physical disparity.

With respect to this comment, the future is now.

Reynolds is already past it, whatever 'it' was. And Walker has been bog average this year, too.
