NRL trials 2021 LIVE updates: Joseph Suaalii set to play for Roosters’ feeder side
At last! Suaalii touches the ball, wins a penalty
He’s made some good tackles, one of them a try-saver, then makes his first carry there and earns his side a penalty. He certainly doesn’t look out of place physicall out there as Sam Walker makes a mistake, so more defence now for the Bears. They’ve been on the wrong end of the possession count thus far but it’s 0-0.
Update: He hasn’t touched the ball yet
But he did make a tackle. Stay tuned.
Very keen to have a look at Sam Walker as well
He came down from Qld and didn’t get a run for the Roosters last year but he’s a super talent, the son of Ben Walker. Some young guns out and about here. And they are off and racing at Seiffert Oval.
Welcome to a festival of NRL (trial games)
Look, it’s not quite the season but we honestly can’t wait that long. We’re live all afternoon and evening with a full book of trials starting with boom teen Joseph Suaalii as he steps out for the North Sydney Bears (Roosters feeder club) against the Raiders. They moved heaven and earth to get him from arch-rivals South Sydney and this is everyone’s first look at him playing against grown ups.
