Gus sounds Like a landlord tryna kick a Tennant out before their lease is up because they've decided not to renew it hahha
Gus sounding like such a sook, as a rooster supporter knowing he's leaving im still thrilled to see him play over the next 2 seasons.
Yea why is Gus sooking... If he is under contract with Roosters, he is well within his rights to play out his contract...
@@Younis1446 Gus probably wanted to throw Suaalii 1.8 to go play for the Bulldogs
As a roosters support, suaalii has a lot of hype to deliver on, i hope he doesn't leave NRL before coming close to living up to the hype. Let's see
@@shanehodges6980 He'll deliver in union, where any loser who is even vaguely good enough to be in the NRL dominates the world easily.
@@Hardcastle83 So why has the only NRL player that moved to Union who “dominated” anything been Sonny Bill Williams (after he got the Cinderella treatment from the NZRU)? And the rest have either been “good but not that great” (Matt Rogers & Wendell Sailor & Brad Thorne) or totally out of their depth (Benji Marshall).
After all: This guy was poached from Union to begin with.
Cry me a river. Young bloke securing the bag. Good on him.
It's kind of funny how many people on social media celebrate the fact that Australia is a capitalist country. But when athletes want to get paid everybody starts complaining.
@@leaderofnoone9087 you reckon he’s worth the big bucks? I mean he’s getting more than immortals of the game have gotten
@@leviclarke2429 that's why he gone..
Yep good on him, beats working 9-5.
exactly. these league guys need to grow up a bit, christ. And I'm a league guy.
Let the guy live. There's more to life than the NRL. Life changing money for his family, a new challenge and I'm sure he will be back one day.
he's a kings boy, doubt his family needs the money. but i agree, whatever makes him happy.
A lot of people forget that Suaalii is an absolute gun at both sports. He went to Kings in Parramatta to play rugby before choosing league, I'd imagine because it's a more secure option for teenagers looking to turn pro. He still has essentially two seasons to win a premiership, play Origin and more test footy before going to union for the Lions tour in 2025 and World Cup in 2027. If he comes back to league in 2028, he'll only be 25 and Tedesco may be retired by then, so he can get that Roosters fullback jersey. I love seeing players try to create these opportunities for themselves - if they're good enough, like SBW, club's and codes will accomodate and it's fascinating to watch.
He went to Kings after they saw him playing league in the West and gave him a scholarship
bit early to be calling him an absolute gun, he has insane potential, but he leaving NRL before even getting close to that and more than likely leaving with out a premiership ring or even getting close to it, last year when he filled in at fullback (his preferred role) he was pretty abysmal, especially setting up his defensive line and positioning - vividly remember him getting caught out on grubbers a lot. Then his performance at the world cup as full back, disappointing. Good luck to him in rugby, but he got no where close to getting to gun status in league.
comparing him to SBW is just apples and oranges, SBW was an established premiership winning player with personal outstanding performances for 4 years..... sualii, debut season 2021 played a few games spent majority of season out with foot injury, 2022 yeah a few good games with a lot of potential ---- but no... he hasn't accomplished any thing in NRL and falls very short when you start making comparisons.
The bloke is overrated
The money hungry sualii family
Watch thw ship sink
Gus is carrying on like a spoilt kid. The fact is Sualli is a superb rugby player and league player. When he switches back to rugby he will be an amazing playing on the world stage for the wallabies. Bring it on!!
Can someone explain to me exactly what this kid did wrong????? $350k per year NRL or 1.6M a season Rugby, We gonna miss you playing league but do what’s best for you and for your family . All the Best Sualii
He betrayed the sport
@@strikerbowls791 Would u take a 1.6m salary for your family or 350k to show your loyalty for a sport and the fans who don't know anything about your family
@@strikerbowls791 Even The Sport is Not Loyal to The Players ! It’s All Business Nowdays , those Loyal Days are Over
@@kingpaula8134 Exactly
betrayed the sport? wait till you find out he played union before league champ.@@strikerbowls791
So it's ok for League to poach juniors from Union, but when those want to return to Union, Gus has a bit of a grizzle.
exactly, it's like they don't acknowledge poaching all the rugby school boys
Suaalii is a young professional athlete, he must do what's best for his career prospects you never know when things can end with injury in contact sports. Suaalii has a contract to complete in the NRL, Gus is being emotive and not rational. I have no doubt that Suaalii can play both codes at a professional level. Great for the ARU to have such young talent boost their stocks, players switching codes will continue, there are many examples to choose from not just the high profile players such as SBW, RTS, Tuqiri, Sailor, Folau, Rogers etc that is professional sport.
Gus cant help but come off as extremely bitter in this segment.
I mean he has a point, talk of the town for 18 mpnths lmfao
Anyone would think he’s never understood that the two rugby code’s are professional sports…
The important point here is that unlike may NRL stars of the past who have torn up contracts to make immediate moves to other codes or other NRL teams, this young man is prepared to honor his contracts and work them through. This shows integrity beyond his years and should be respected not ridiculed. It is really sad to see Gus taking the stance he has.
We all wish Gus would make the decision to disappear... always throwing his toys out the cot 😂
Was looking for the laughing emoji and realised I wasnt on Facebook... 😂
Jealousy mate.
Siebs is a great addition for this bit. He can explain it in a way the others simply can't. Nice to see Nine being forced to do this a bit more with Rugby in the same stable. League has taken way more than it's lost, win some lose some
He sounds like he needs to clear his throat
they've taken way more because they have 17 teams, not 4
He has severe mental issues shouldn't be on the panel
Apparently he is coming out as gay soon
Very sad for his family
@@tast7017in clubs. But rugby is an international game. Not based around clubs
@@joedennehy386 gee you dont say. And where are those international team selected from?
Sua'ali'i has done everything as well as possible here. He's telegraphed his intentions early so the club can do whats best for it and allowing rep squads the chance to evaluate his selection.
I think that attitude means he is deserving of selection in any team that'll have him.
Gallen is exactly right. He’s playing league RIGHT NOW so he should be selected for NSW if he’s good enough. Gus saying he shouldn’t be considered because he’s going next season is just bitterness that he’s chosen the other code.
Yeah but even Gallen also said he doesn't think he will be selected, fullback and centres have plenty of people in front of Joseph. So it's irrelevant
@@shanehodges6980 It’s not irrelevant. Just because Gallen thinks he won’t be selected, that doesn’t mean he won’t be selected. That’s just Gallen’s opinion. He’s not a selector so it means nothing.
@@bonanimathambo8721 It's actually the definition of irrelevant because Gus isn't selecting the team either, and in no world is sualii getting selected before Tedesco / turbo as fullback or katoni/wighton/Crichton as centres or addo carr/ to'o as winger, even tupou before him.
Unless there is several injuries he wont be getting near a jersey, especially with his current form @ the roosters.
@@shanehodges6980 The point is that Gus thinks he shouldn’t even be considered because he’s moving to rugby next year. That’s the point.
If somebody said you should never be allowed to win the lottery because you live in Sydney, I can’t say that’s irrelevant because you probably won’t win the lottery anyway. That isn’t the point. The point is it’s ridiculous for someone to say you shouldn’t be allowed to win (when everybody else is allowed to) when you’ve done nothing wrong.
I could boo him every time he touches the ball but then again I hate the Roosters.. I’m kind of happy they are losing him. I’d like to see players leaving them rather than them constantly signing star off contract players.
Why not just be happy for a young man thats being rewarded for his hard work
An act of desperation from Rugby Union. They are basically bankrupt and throwing all their money at an unproven player.
He is a long way from a superstar player.
Reminds me of that boss that when you wanna do something for yourself and move on they turn on you, in NZ there's alot more respect amongst codes , most union fans watch league as well
Mosr union fans in NZ do not follow league.
Maybe he wanted to play in a World Cup that has full stadiums 🤷♂️
Possibly. He's a Leo and they tend to like the big stage.
@@connorduke4619 starsigns literally have nothing to do with this 🤦🏼♀️
@@kwesttttt So are you an expert on human personality traits, human spirit or even that the human spirit is eternal and uses different astrology signs to have different experiences of life on the physical plane in each incarnation?
@@connorduke4619
No but are you an expert on how unicorn farts and tea leaves effect the aether in which ephemeral human souls come to inhabit the mind/body duality and thus the determine the ultimate karmic balance and destination of young sports athletes ?
@@garywebster3044 I am not a Wokester who believe unicorn farts will generate base load power. BUT I do have decades of 100% success experience in convincing university (inc. PhD) educated people that their personality very closely aligns with their natal astrological chart when properly and fully calculated (which it is usually not).
I will also add another Leo league player who joined union to play in a world cup ws Sonny Bill Williams. They do - all other factors being equal - tend to enjoy the limelight more than others. SBW else went into boxing prize fighting which yet another Leo - Paul Gallen - did as well.
I also bothered to fast and meditate to an extreme, silencing both body and mind, to see if I could perceive an non-physical dimension like the ancient Indian yogis claimed to be able to do 3,000 years ago.
And guess what? It's there and feels even more real than the physical. The physical is a vague dream compared to the astral which permeates, pre dates and post dates our short trips to the physical.
cheers
He was originally poached from Union, we didn’t hear any up roar from them, now union has come back and poached him back, everyone, especially Gus is having a mad cry about it🤦🏽♂️
It's funny hearing Gus act like leauge isn't a off branch of rugby union which is globally favoured unlike league
Funny that, NRL are known for poaching young union players 👀👀
So true....
He was poached from Union in the first place!
Disgusting how quick they turn on there "stars"
There is not good money in rugby league. Easy decision to go to rugby. Rugby league world cup had cricket scores. World cup rugby easily better. Go on ya Joseph. I'm proud of you.
Love it how the NRL commentators overlook how many of their stars are from schoolboys rugby pathways. It’s the height of hypocrisy. You don’t even have to look beyond the Roosters. There’s a half dozen of them.
Gus is jealous he never had the offer to jump
😂
That's well and good from Gus but you would have to pay him out, and it would affect your salary cap. So unless it was impacting the environment negatively you might as well play him. Especially if he can help you win. And what is Gus expecting players to do on their next contracts? Not talk to anyone until their contract is over? That's not how contracts work. You have to lock in your next gig while you can.
Don’t hate the player , hate the game
Or just not hate either lol
@@enterpassword3313 well Rugby League has lots to fix and if they think everything is great they are kidding themselves
@@darylkanofski9327 the game has been in the best position in years wtf you talking about, it's union that is dead in this country.
@@DabDabGoose Yeah but union is way more global.
People don’t know that this guy was playing rugby union since he’s junior rugby days before he signed to NRL
Well, he started in Rugby and NRL enticed him with some big pay days... Now Rugby have enticed him back... Good for him, Union is an international game on the move. He'll probably end up in France making large amounts .
or Japan
League is a joke haha no wonder he wanted to leave😂😂
Made a business decision that's best for him. Sour grapes Gus.
Young poly kid doing well for himself. You love to see it
Except these guys hate to see it😭 they mad because polys are just to good 😤
I think most people forget that Phil Gould was one of the softest players to play professionally. That’s what Les Boyd told me anyway! The bloke Carry’s on like he was an immortal the flog
Is this the same Gould who signed Kikau to struggling Bulldogs from another club more than 12 months out. Out of all administrators he should know what that entails. So Gould’s allowed but others aren’t whether same code or not?? Good on Suali’i. If it was my bro, I’d encourage him the same.
Gus is good at walking. He did it at the warriors. Didn’t honour the contract!
He has a contract for another year and a half. He will give his all for the Roosters. We will then wish him well and move on. Gus should stay out of the Roosters club and work on the Dogs club they need all the help then can get.
People keep talking about him coming back to league tbh I doubt it when players go to union from league they usually don’t come back they get a taste for regular international rugby as well the huge amount of money you can make
I wish the loser had of left before Origin 1 !
Go now! Spot on. See ya
It’s simple. Gus is threatened by the existence of Rugby Union 🤣 bro needs to chill
Seibold is actually a very smart footy head, if he wasn’t a head coach I’d be more than happy to have him be on the show
Haha 😂 he’s a Harvard graduate and probably the only one in both codes.
League heads are so fragile. Never mind that fact that a great portion of league stars started in Union, but when they jump ship back its sour grapes
He'll make better money, for his village back home, I suppose.
Good luck to him ...
It's not for his village mate , the guy deserves it if he is hurt badly in a game to the point he cannot perform then to he justifies his income no one else will look after him. The guy deserves it and all the best in your rugby future.
Go now. Go get your money while you can brother. Do what's best for you and family
I hate to admit this but Gus has a point. Keeping him in the game will only promote rugby and not the nrl every time he plays.
So what if it does promote rugby
Sam Burgess and RTS didn’t cop any flack, so dunno why they’re picking on Suaalii for
@@willyjohnson444 Burgess was actually committed to helping South succeed before he left...
Yeah, because league supporters didn’t know rugby union existed until Suaalii signed with the Waratahs.
N yet, these Muppet r doing free advertising for union 😂😂
Lol people actually think Union is a more simple game than League? Hahahaha
Maybe I’m wrong but I just don’t see the hype. What’s so good about him that he warrants 1.6m a season?
The lack of international rugby league is extremely poor! Rugby union internationally offers more, travel, competition, tours.
Gus you right .. being a rugby union guy you right
Does any one in particular owns the game in Australia.
Joseph has the right to do what he wants but as a die hard nrl supporter, I understand we’re Gus is coming from Joseph’s only a kid and he’s a gun
That's such a terrible take by Gus. I know he's just stirring the pot for the headlines but jeez, thats still a bad take
its like your wife telling you she'll leave you for another man in 2 years but you guys are good till then... hahahaha Im with Gus ...best of luck ... off you go bye bye... but I gotta say... Brumbies are getting a top talent for sure
...top wife? 😂😂😂
Sour old men. NRL should enjoy Sualli presence till he leaves. He is a talent
Yeah why not compete in another world cup this year with better coin. Come back in another 3-4yrs
What is he saying, end of the day you can’t fault the guy. International rugby is the pinnacle of both sports. It’s the biggest globally out of both sports. Can’t blame him for going and telling him to go sooner is just petty
He says he has nothing against Sualii but he’s sounding like a salty whiny sook 😂 Joseph’s not the first to do it and he won’t be the last. For that money you’d be an idiot not to do it and then come back to league when the 3 years is done. No sport or team is loyal to their player so I find it weird how psycho some people get when you don’t stay loyal to one team or one sport. It’s just a game, you’ll survive
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, for years rugby was poached by league, now the boot is on the other foot and gus didn't like it. Diddums, most of them don't make it. Brad Thorne made it Sbw sort of made it.
This is exactly why I don’t watch league, even as a lifelong diehard union fan. League could learn something from union’s culture.
Guss knows very well we got talent who come from Rugby back ground....Cronk, Ponga, Criton, Murray, good % of Pacific Islanders.
Gus mad about a situation he guessed would happen months ago lmao he’s going to be a rich 21 year old in 2025, don’t blame him
The NRL are seriously the most arrogant bunch around. Hosting a world cup that actually matters, wake me when the Rugby League world cup matters
Same thing could be said about any sport, and the same to a World Cup in any sport- that's what matters because it is the pinnacle of the sport itself, aside from sports that are in the Olympics. A RWC wont matter to a staunch Football supporter, and neither will a Fifa World Cup to a non-Football follower 🤷🏽♂️. Union has done well to tap in to the USA market, but League has given a bigger exposure to Pasifika and Micronesian countries. It's a chance for reform and growth moving forward. That's one aspect I don't like about Union, wont see that with a side like Georgia being promoted and supported in making that next step past pool play, even though they've won the majority of their European Rugby Championships since 06 along with staying competitive against tier 1 teams.
@@MrRendezvous the numbers don't lie tho. Globally Union is a much bigger game than League, here it's a different story. But guys like Gus and Kent seem so out of touch they can't even acknowledge that Union has always been and continues to be the bigger game on the world stage.
@@MrRendezvous you're correct tho in what you said btw
Good old Captain Gus Hindsight. "I said it would happen". Why so mad then? The kid played rugby at school, got swooped by Rugby League and now he got swooped to go back to Union. It's a business and if a player can command that salary in another job, then that is his worth, right or wrong. Get over it. Good on him for getting paid. As if RU won't mention he came from League every time he does something good in Union.
well said gus but remember he always plays devils advocate because everyone is trying to keep their job even the tough gallen
Gus is right.
Has a league commentator pronounced a Polynesian name correctly ever?
Well it's obvious what rugby league has to do now. We've got to develop the international game. More test matches.
Nrl can’t hold these players! On to bigger and better things.
People are overlooking Gus’s point, yes it comes across as salty or having a sook but he pointing out the fact that it does absolutely nothing for the game of NRL to have him play now for the next 2 years. All it does it promote Union and the Wallabies and although that’s ok as a country and supporting the codes, it does absolutely nothing for League especially when the game is trying to still grow and it’s actually reaching massive levels. I don’t think losing Joe is bad for the game at all, but it does promote a rival code so I can completely understand Gus’s frustration.
100%
But Gus at the same time is mocking Union for no one knowing anything about it, so you can’t have it both ways, either union is dead in Australia so why worry about a kid moving over or Union is actually a threat
@@lauifisaufoisamoa I agree. He’s a moron contradicting himself. If Union is dead in Australia then what would he have to worry about?
Sualli is not worth the Money , It's time for East's to get rid of the Primadonna Ballerina as soon as possible
Gould is Right , He should Go Now
Israel folau still better than him 😂
Geez alot of you in the comments don't listen too well. Gus made it clear, he has nothing against Suaalii for choosing rugby. It's about not advertising rugby every time he plays from this point onwards. Why should the NRL create a bigger star for the next year and a half only for him to leave and bring attention to a different code. I agree with Gus, don't let the door hit you on the way out, leave now.
NRL didn't make him. He's a talented player who made a name for himself and he's got every right to make the most of the best opportunities that are now presented to him. Best of luck to him.
@@jackfrost9466 noone implied the nrl made him and noone said he doesn't have the right to go. You're arguing with yourself here.
The point is he's made his decision on his future, his future is outside the NRL, so why should the NRL keep growing his brand when long term it just hurts them. Let him go now. You wanna be a rugby player, then go and don't come back.
@@bigtomivan Well then the Roosters Club should not be in the NRL, is what you're saying 🤗😂🤣
@@jakesblink4609 no idea what you mean
Interesting to see how worked up the rugby league pundits are getting worked up over this. You would never see this kind of reaction in union if a player decided to switch to league.
We HAVE TOPOU FROM THE ROOSTERS HAS PLAYED GREAT FOOTY ALL YEAR LONG DESERVES HIS PLACE IN THE ORIGIN SIDE ,
Go now! 🤣🤣
old man has lived the better part of his life lol
Gus has a point but at the same time, that decision will be between the roosters and sualilii. Can’t get mad at the kid for wanting more money and rugby offers that. Rugby league money wise doesn’t compare to what rugby can in Europe and Japan. It sucks but that’s life
I feel sorry for this kid. This topic get way to much air time bro..
Look if you dont like him leaving, then quit poaching from the rugby union junior talent pool.
💯
Well if all he’s ever gonna be is a winger at the roosters he might as well go to Rugby and be a $1.6mil winger there
Was nothing said in the past gus when all those league players went to union good on you suuaali
GO THE ROOSTERS 🐔
Rugby, Lions, home WC, couple years in France then retire in Japan. Take all you can young fella 🙌
Gus says anything to stand out
Go get the money Joseph ! If I was offered the same in my job there would be no questions ask! Don't listen to the haters! Think of your future !
Gus is so grumpy it's not funny. Suaalii is good enough to start for nsw right now he's playing to the end of his contract
Union all the way 👌🏼
Gus has a heart bigger than phar lap, but we should be looking at uniting the codes. RL/RU in Australia and RU on the international stage. RU is a harder game.
RU is a harder sport I agree. in league all you do is run. in union there’s line outs, scrums and mauls.
Harder game to watch , most rugby forwards would last all of 5 minutes & 2 decent hits 🤣
@@lesm350 most rugby league forwards won’t event last a minute against union forwards 🤣
@@lesm350 put a NRL forward in Union and watch him get snapped in the scrum, rucks and line outs hahahaha considering union forwards are bigger the the NRL ones 🤣
@@michaelkonelio7452 🤣🤣🤣🤣Scrums, rucks & lineouts, just a place for the overweight, unskilled , rugby forward to rest up until they can complete another 10 man pileup aka tackle 🙄
If you are given a good offer,take it with both hands,its your future that matters not anybody or the sport.its just like finding a better employment in the job market but this is sports and you have the right to choose another sport that has given you a good offer.i see that you also played union in your junior days so why not?take the opportunity with both hands and good luck to you Suali'i.
Does anyone like both rugby codes lol. Enjoy domestic nrl and origin in league and then get all the international goods with the bledisloe, 6 nations and world cups in union.
For sure, both codes can be a great watch for a fan of both.
This is why Australian rugby is struggling. Because you choose to support domestic league and not domestic rugby. If Aussies supported rugby like they do league, we wouldn't be waiting 20 years just to win back the Bledisloe and we'd have another World Cup under our belt.
Good on this kid 👏🏾👏🏾
He should go now grub using his knees in tackles what a grub
Live with it Gus ya sook.
Nice to see someone leave the Roosters for unders.😂😂😂😂😂
These guys are mad that Rugby "poaches" their players, when Cameron Murray and Joseph both played high level Rugby UNION as kids and were poached to play league. Get off your soap box Gus.
And they were playing League before the Union schools poached them, get a clue. It's always this way in Australia. I don't know why union ppl always seem to conveniently forget these things, or they're just liars.
2:32 tell me the roosters hand out brown paper bags, without telling me the roosters hand out brown paper bags
Gus is just venting out what he really wanted to say to Sonny Bill Williams when he switched codes back in the day lol. Get that money while you can still play elite footy cos when you reach your 40's its good luck to your body and mind sports wise
The kid who will take his place could be anything and the Roosters poached him from union
Who cares hes not even that good man. Hes been here for no time at all, made no name for himself really. So eh, see ya bud.
And btw when it comes to talking about how good they were in rugby at highschool, the talent pool for rugby compared to league is trash, Ponga is a great example, he was so talented but it also helped that every team he played against through highschool was made up of kids that were trash at rugby.
He'd be a awesome addition to Joe's Aussie team,
Doing well,2from 2 against Wale's,about time, watching from NZ,the crowd was, impressive,great to see,
Well done West islanders 🤭💯👍🇳🇿
