Sualli?

[Bansai Pipeline]

God you'd want to live up to those expectations. Crazy pressure.

Welcome Joey MkII, learning FB from Teddy and having Sonny in your ear is a pretty good drawcard.

Here's the latest- from 2022 onwards although maybe a release could be arranged for 2021?.

I'm not sure why the Chooks would have to fork out 50k development fee though - maybe it could argued for this to be paid if released with 1 year to go on his Verms contract if this is normal practice but if he finished his contract with the Verms and moves to the Chooks for 2022 onwards there would be no fee payable as he would no longer be a Verm contracted player??

Is the development fee the norm in the NRL or just in this case?? mmm seems from what i could find the Verms can be paid this but it looks like they are wanting the maximum - 50k

Four Development Fee on NRL Contract 20% of playing fee to a maximum of $50,000

Did we get 50K when they signed Latrell?

I very much doubt it.

It doesn't matter. We get a once in a generation talent and Souffs show themselves as the clowns that they are. $50k is chump change.

I unfortunately picture him scratching his backside at the airport.

And this for good measure when he thought he could pursue a music career

Every time I read Rusty wooing a player I always think how pathetic! It's like 'Join my club! I'm a Hollywood star!' I wouldn't give a toss!

This saga is just the Latrell saga but Sualli is younger and is meant to be a once in a generation star. I hope for the best for him if he joins but im concerned about all these young stars 21 and under asking for the world in contract negotiations. I would understand if they were a superstar player considered as one of the best in the game but why at a young age when you're not fully developed. I guess its another case of too many cooks in the kitchen trying to maximise money at a young age.

Please don’t curse him with Joeys abominable defence.

Hollywood star my arse. Not for a long time. Last Hollywood movie he made was Noah.

The new gen doesn't want to earn it mate. They don't want to serve burgers or sit on the bench as a first job anymore. They think they can leave school, college, Uni or Juniors without any experience and walk straight into a high paying management or leadership role.

I don't care what his background is at smashing under 16's, he needs to show and prove his worth with the big boys to get the same spoils.

Everyone needs to earn their place in the team, the respect and the money.

[ChookMaster]

Can he pass and kick and tackle?

Well he did play AFL when he was younger so you’d think he would know how to kick and as to passing a ball, he was a fb in his junior grades so I think he would have some ability... our coaching staff to develop him into a superstar of course

[Snapn1]

Can't wait to see him develop over hopefully 2021 if not 2020

[Larry Long Balls]

When does he turn 18? It seems he is more a prospect for 22 than 21 based on his age.

I absolutely agree with you, it echoes the naivety that some people my age hold when it comes to working and trying to earn large sums so early so they don't have to work a day in their lives. If Sualli is really the prodigy he's hyped to be, he needs to earn those massive wages.
