He’s the dual code teen sensation that everyone wants and Rugby Australia boss Raelene Castle will fight NRL clubs hard for the signature of Joseph Suaalii.
Earlier this month, foxsports.com.au reported that South Sydney were preparing to trump RA and offer the phenom the richest contract in the history of Australian sport for a 17-year-old.
The report stated that Souths intend to table the 16-year-old a three-year, million-dollar plus deal on August 1 this year — the day of Suaalii’s 17th birthday.
Under NRL guidelines, the fleet-footed outside back — who has been spinning heads for The Kings School’s First XV since he was 14 as well as South Sydney’s Harold Matthews side — can’t be signed until he turns 17.
