The Suualii Appreciation Thread

I agree and I reckon he will go ok at the back as well but I just think he would go better elsewhere. It’s only early days so I could be waaaaaaay off the mark.

Fair enough fullback can be a tricky and challenging position to play I remember not being totally sold when Mini was moved there. But he was pretty good. Personally I’d prefer his next move to be to the centres where we get to see him a bit more regularly defensively where he looks very strong. We have Teddy for a few more years yet and Manu can play fullback like he will this week.

You’re such a shit stirrer mun..

No I meant that seriously. The 'myth' is meant as a joke, but am wondering whether he has a serious chance of playing.

I reckon if anything happens to Daniel or Brian he will play

The other great thing about this kid is he’s a utility player which can fill any number of spots comfortably which only increases his worth on the market. So far he looks like the real deal unlike Mitchell and Ponga who are fading into oblivion. Ponga because he’s stuck in a losers team and Mitchell became great at the roosters but since joining vermin has been plagued with suspensions and injuries.

He is not a utility player. What a strange comment.

I just mean you can play him in a few different positions no? Wing, centre, fullback?

[roosterchook]

The influence this kid has already on games is amazing what about his offload to Teddy as he’s falling which led to line break?

He covered Manu’s defensive ****ups on 2 occasions nailing Talakai just brute strength, great physicality, opposing forwards don’t want to be catching the ball when he’s in your face let alone opposing backs.

No doubt Uncle Nick and Robbo will be sealing his future very soon he will command a much bigger paycheque based on what he’s shown he deserves it.

That offload had Artie written all over it.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Crazy to think he might play.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

What is the Myth's role in Origin? He's just there for the camp I take it?

Surely. It would be ridiculous to play him.

Love how you copped it on the chin about the myth it shows plenty of character. This is just to give Suaalii a taste of origin but he will be in that team in the not too distant future.

[rented tracksuit]

So he might play a handful of minutes and not be available for us for the game against the Faiders?

Selfish I know but that's a fair trade!

[RoosterFanNZ]

When he gets selected to play for the blues in a year or so, a wing/centre combo of him and Latrell will be scary for Queensland

[ChookMaster]

Either way if he plays or not Freddy has done us a huge favour by getting him in there. Soak it all up young fella watch and learn.. come back to us and apply it and you will be a starter for the rep team in no time.

Surely. It would be ridiculous to play him.

IMO the general reckoning is that if a winger/centre goes down, Hynes plays... if Hynes goes down then you look at things like moving Matto/Frizell into to mix while shifting around players with utility value.

He could technically play, but I think the odds are similar to me becoming the big boss at work due to a long string of unexpected absences (hint: fortunately there's enough contingencies in place to ensure that never happens).

I reckon they'd be playing Frizell at centre ahead of Suualli. Not in any way due to Suaalii lacking the talent (IMO he'd go just fine in Origin)...

I reckon they would be already shytting the nerves at that thought.
