He was a rugby union prodigy who will earn millions in rugby league but teenage sensation Joseph Suaalii channelled his inner AFL star to score a spectacular try and help the Roosters snuff out a Magic Round rally from the Eels.
Brad Fittler’s NSW selection headaches intensified as Suaalii, having been slowly integrated into the Roosters’ NRL squad this year after off-season foot surgery, scored a second-half double as the Eels roared back to within one point after trailing by 19 early in the second half. “The toughness and class he showed in that game, for an 18-year-old, was very special,” Roosters coach Trent Robinson said.
