Alex Walmsley is exactly the type of player we need. From memory multiple nrl clubs have tried and failed to get him here.

That run out of his own end in GP was so good ..

This column has seen the Suaalii contract offer on a South Sydney letterhead and can reveal the figures: $800,000 in 2024; $900,000 in 2025; and $1 million in 2026. It would appear $2.7 million over three years is not over the odds for a player of his enormous potential, despite Suaalii being only 19. Suaalii has a unique contract with options in his favour that make him effectively a rolling target for opposition clubs.

I can definitely see him getting that sort of money on his next deal, and I'd love it to be with us. But I'm not really sure how we could justify that sort of contract in our squad, especially if we're talking about our best current player getting that money on his next deal.

A quick way to loose control of a club's cap management is to give players " unique contracts" & thereby make them
"a rolling target for opposition clubs" & rugby . We have been reading on this forum in recent days about how astute the Roosters are with their player management so watch this space .

Is he getable you think?

He's signed until end of 2025 and I can't see St Helen's letting him go even with a huge transfer fee.

Didn't they lose him because they thought what he asked for was too much?

 

[MrDravid]

I thought it was more because they didn't want to give him a player option every year on his contract?

 

[HaroldBishop]

Yeah was a good call, I wouldn't either. What's the point in a contract?

 

[Western Sharkie]

Yep.
I don’t think the coin was the issue, pretty sure it was “the terms” that got the Roosters his signature

 

[Proud Shark]

According to the article the contract has been pulled. I was more posting as a cost reference as some of us had been fantasising about luring Suallii here.

Dom Young has signed with the Roosters
