What position would he play in Union?
Would he see more ball than he did at the Roosters?
Personally, that’s been a failing for the team over the last few years, not being able to give Joey good ball for him to work his magic. When Latrell left he should of been the go to guy in attack. Kyle Flanagan couldn’t pass and was consequently sacked. You could say the same with Sam Walker. Unleash the beast.
Unfortunately when Joey was shifted one in, he couldn’t make it work. If our pack was firing, was running against a retreating defence, he would just about be unstoppable.

It does leave us short an x-factor player. But we should have a little extra in the cap to find a replacement or a bit to find Teddy's long term replacement.
Robbo and Nick may get into Suaalii's ear about getting out of his rah rah contract.

It might be different if NZ Rugby were chasing him.

He says its every kids dream to play for the All Blacks and if he goes to union his too.

Awesome player. Worth every cent and more to whoever acquires his services. The NRL will continue to lose its best until they do something about it. Also, if they wanted a real good advertisement for Rugby League then they should have let JWH play and serve the remainder of his suspension in Australia. But they have no idea how to promote the game or how to keep the best players.“Soon will the present day order be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead”- (Baha’u’llah)
