The NSW Waratahs say they’d be happy to have Sydney Roosters star Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii a year early
Potential early return to union would depend on financesThe NSW Waratahs say they would welcome Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii a year earlier than expected if the Sydney Roosters are willing to release the code-hopper from hiscontract at season’s end. But that is only the case if they can nut out the financials for the $1.6m-a-season star.
“How does that look between the Waratahs or Rugby Australia, or is there a little bit of a payout from the Chooks that softens that blow a little bit as well? But the short answer is, if he came across, do we want him now? A hundred per cent we do. But the reality of it, with the money, I don’t know how that would work.”
“I think people forget that while they’re professional footballers, Joey is a young man too, and as much as they say they don’t read social media or what’s going on, they’re all aware of it,” he said. “Does he have good support? He’s the talk of the town at the moment, but he is a young man still.” “You don’t want to parachute a guy straight in. He’s got to earn his stripes,” he said. “He’s obviously a good player, but Dylan Pietsch, Mark and ‘Jorgo’ have been doing the business for us every week.”
