Originally posted by Adrian Proszenko for SMH on Joseph SuaaliiSuaalii is listed to play in the centres rather than in his customary spot at fullback. However, such is Suaalii’s confidence in his ball-playing ability that he has already told Roosters coach Trent Robinson that he is capable of playing at five-eighth should the need arise.
“He’s pretty much put his hand up for all the positions in the backline,” a staffer said.
He’s be a handful at 6. Plus whoever played outside would relish the space he created and defence he’d draw
He’s the wunderkind you’ve heard about but never seen play. As he prepares to make an anticipated footy appearance on Saturday, just who is Joseph Suaalii?..it’ll be interesting to see

Suaalii's potentially 200cm and faster than Lam (forward, not laterally). Imagine him against the faders:
- Wighton: 'striiiip!!!! Peel off boys the striiip is aaaawn!!!!'
- JWH: [takes the tackle like a champ]
- Suaalii: [takes a pass from friend then runs straight at Wighton]
I think he's more a winger and will probably end up a centre (or FB at another club when he wants $$$). However, the Drizz went alright using GI as a half for a while. It's an unconventional but somewhat effective piece of methodology.
IMO it would do your knees in if you're that heavy though. IMO little guys suit #6 better because their lateral movement's a lot faster, there's less of them to grab onto and their bodies are built for higher repetitions throughout a match.

If he does play it will be because of an injury as i can't see him dislodging any of the current players this season - Possibly of the Bench although it will weaken the bench as usually it's 3 forwards and a second DH- I know Robbo at times has picked an outside back on the bench but i don't think that plan should be revisited again. i.e Toops on the bench in the finals series in 2017.

I don't predict long-term injuries but they way they play & train, I reckon those 3 will all need at least a couple of weeks off during the season. Suaalii could end up playing quite a bit of footy of that's the case.
