Fullback? Really?
We have a couple make shift stand ins, we have a couple "has potential". Where's our Keenan, Barrett, Ramos/Jaminet, Hogg? We have fullback quality that is exactly befitting of a team 7th in the world.
edit: Kellaway & Wright are slowly transitioning, both to mixed results. Hodge is Hodge. Petaia hasn't nailed down the position. Jorgensen has played 4 games of rugby. Banks was good but never fantastic and is OS.

This will be a fun topic because Jorgo is an out n out Fullback.
As a Tahs fan I gotta say I only trust the Brumbies not to fuck him up tbh

The thought did cross my mind that he should go straight there.

On what planet are the Wallabies FB options even close to 'solid'??

Your guessing he would have achieved far more, he wont be even playing at full back in that time, Jorgo wasn't that far behind him in school rugby so your saying we should give jorgo an extension at 1.4? is stupid money

If he's a good player and R.A. want to keep him, they probably will have to.
It's somewhat funny money though because RA certainly won't be footing anywhere close to the whole bill.
I'd bet pretty much anything that someone who is really keen on Sua'ali'i playing rugby has fronted up a lot of money to make it happen.
I wonder if it is the Kings Old Boy referred to earlier in the thread?

Sua'ali'i is in a different stratosphere despite how exciting Max has been. He will genuinely be the best rugby player in the world in both codes. Whilst i still feel it could be a leverage play after Teddy's new deal to secure the Roosters FB jersey you can't really put a price on a Top 2 not 2 Wallaby starter in a position that hadnt been resolved since Izzy logged in to instagram.

I’d be astonished to find out it’s 1.6m. Remember the last time this happened with speculation and RA came out and said the amounts talked about were ludicrous and not remotely close to the amount. But people still continued to believe the NRL focused journalists amounts.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s around $1m but will bet it’s not remotely close to 1.6

If its only 1m he'd stay at the roosters he'll get that there.

And from someone's post yesterday apparently this offer is being driven by 3rd party deals etc. So not coming out of RA coffers.

I cant see how a bloke who cant even get a fb jersey would become the best player in the world, he has proven he is a good player in the centres, interms of young players in that position Bradman Best had a better rookie season a few yrs back than Joseph did last yr. He went to the RLWC & certainly wasn't a stand out

Quite possibly. He's a very promising young player.

He did play Rugby at school. Which many of those young blokes would have.

Might have something to do with the current FB being the club captain.

even if twiggy takes it out of his ash trey in his caterpiller doesnt mean he's worth it

Well, looks like we'll find out.

But he wouldn't even get the fb jersey at Manly, Parra, Storm, souths & you could argue the same at the broncos, cowboys.
