War ignites with NRL boss’ brutal move

Suaalii will leave the Roosters at the end of next season, giving him the chance to don the green and gold for the Wallabies when they host the British and Irish Lions down under in 2025 – a rare tour which happens every dozen years.But V’landys believes the 19-year-old will get ‘terribly bored’ in union and will return to the NRL in the future.Watch every game of every round of the 2023 NRL Telstra Premiership Season LIVE on Kayo Sports.
