He needs to plead the Benji Marshall case and accept he’s a good NRL player but rugby is not his game. Strange though, in that he is Fijian and would have grown up on rugby.
To be fair, Vunivalu won’t be the first Storm star who has left the club and their structures and lost his lustre. It’s happened to a lot over the past 10 years.
I mentioned it on another thread but his limited training whilst in Melbourne is pretty well known, probably a red flag when even the player himself admits to having not trained much until arriving in rugby.
His market value in the NRL would have been slightly higher a few months ago, but he will still fetch a good contract with someone like the Dolphins.
