The Roosters are actively working to keep Joseph Suaalii on their roster, despite his existing rugby union contract worth $4.5 million. This effort is particularly motivated by Joey Manu’s impending move to French rugby, leaving a gap at centre. Neil Breen, speaking on 2GB radio, revealed the Roosters’ intense efforts to secure Suaalii’s future with the club amidst ongoing speculation. He highlighted the strategic importance of Suaalii potentially returning to rugby league, especially with Manu’s departure and considering James Tedesco’s aging. Despite contractual complexities, Breen stressed the Roosters’ determination to explore all options to retain Suaalii. He also discussed broader implications across rugby codes, with rugby league clubs eyeing players from rugby union, causing discontent among some players like Jordan Petaia. Breen mentioned the Dragons as one club interested in acquiring such players due to their need to bolster their squad.
