Rejoining the Roosters is no certainty for Joseph Suaalii when his contract with Rugby Australia runs out in 2027.
insists he hasn’t made any plans to rejoin rugby league after his switch to rugby union despite steady speculation linking him with a return to the team he loves: the Roosters.“I honestly have not said anything,” Suaalii told this column. “Nick says that all the time, which is good to hear that he wants me at the club. He is a good man and I respect everything that he has done for me and the club – but I honestly have not looked that far ahead.
“I find different ways to handle things and I feel like I’ve found peace with it. And I’ve found peace with understanding that it’s just the media’s job to sell papers.”“I feel like I’ve been in the public eye for a while,” he says. “I think my first article was when I was maybe 13 or 14 and comparing me to. Back then it was fun to say you’re in the paper, but now you need to deal with it and accept it. I’ve learnt how to do it and that makes my life easier.”’s team is the lack of noise.
“You know, there’s so much more to life than football and I have so much more to give in other areas. And just a little conversation like that puts a lot into perspective. It’s an injury. It’s not the end of the world.”Michael Maguire will never say it publicly but the team he announced for Origin I last weekend was set in stone two weeks earlier. Of course, Maguire was sweating on injuries, but the team he named last Sunday night was the one he picked a fortnight previously.
“What do people want?” asked Bennett, who has worked with Marshall previously at Brisbane, South Sydney and with New Zealand. “Do they want to destroy his family? It’s a high-pressure job and taking a few days away will only do him good. We’ve got the bye coming up and I’ll be going away. You need the balance and Benji is within his rights to get away.
Don’t forget, beneath Benji’s brilliance was a man who came back from five shoulder reconstructions. He is determined and wants to win. But like Frank Sinatra, he will do it his way.
