Gus sounding like such a sook, as a rooster supporter knowing he's leaving im still thrilled to see him play over the next 2 seasons.
Yea why is Gus sooking... If he is under contract with Roosters, he is well within his rights to play out his contract...
@@shezadm6300 Gus probably wanted to throw Suaalii 1.8 to go play for the Bulldogs
As a roosters support, suaalii has a lot of hype to deliver on, i hope he doesn't leave NRL before coming close to living up to the hype. Let's see
@@shanehodges6980 He'll deliver in union, where any loser who is even vaguely good enough to be in the NRL dominates the world easily.
@@Hardcastle83 So why has the only NRL player that moved to Union who “dominated” anything been Sonny Bill Williams (after he got the Cinderella treatment from the NZRU)? And the rest have either been “good but not that great” (Matt Rogers & Wendell Sailor & Brad Thorne) or totally out of their depth (Benji Marshall).
After all: This guy was poached from Union to begin with.
Let the guy live. There's more to life than the NRL. Life changing money for his family, a new challenge and I'm sure he will be back one day.
A lot of people forget that Suaalii is an absolute gun at both sports. He went to Kings in Parramatta to play rugby before choosing league, I'd imagine because it's a more secure option for teenagers looking to turn pro. He still has essentially two seasons to win a premiership, play Origin and more test footy before going to union for the Lions tour in 2025 and World Cup in 2027. If he comes back to league in 2028, he'll only be 25 and Tedesco may be retired by then, so he can get that Roosters fullback jersey. I love seeing players try to create these opportunities for themselves - if they're good enough, like SBW, club's and codes will accomodate and it's fascinating to watch.
He went to Kings after they saw him playing league in the West and gave him a scholarship
bit early to be calling him an absolute gun, he has insane potential, but he leaving NRL before even getting close to that and more than likely leaving with out a premiership ring or even getting close to it, last year when he filled in at fullback (his preferred role) he was pretty abysmal, especially setting up his defensive line and positioning - vividly remember him getting caught out on grubbers a lot. Then his performance at the world cup as full back, disappointing. Good luck to him in rugby, but he got no where close to getting to gun status in league.
comparing him to SBW is just apples and oranges, SBW was an established premiership winning player with personal outstanding performances for 4 years..... sualii, debut season 2021 played a few games spent majority of season out with foot injury, 2022 yeah a few good games with a lot of potential ---- but no... he hasn't accomplished any thing in NRL and falls very short when you start making comparisons.
The bloke is overrated
The money hungry sualii family
Watch thw ship sink
Gus is carrying on like a spoilt kid. The fact is Sualli is a superb rugby player and league player. When he switches back to rugby he will be an amazing playing on the world stage for the wallabies. Bring it on!!
Gus sounds Like a landlord tryna kick a Tennant out before their lease is up because they've decided not to renew it hahha
Cry me a river. Young bloke securing the bag. Good on him.
It's kind of funny how many people on social media celebrate the fact that Australia is a capitalist country. But when athletes want to get paid everybody starts complaining.
@@leaderofnoone9087 you reckon he’s worth the big bucks? I mean he’s getting more than immortals of the game have gotten
@@leviclarke2429 that's why he gone..
Yep good on him, beats working 9-5.
exactly. these league guys need to grow up a bit, christ. And I'm a league guy.
Sua'ali'i has done everything as well as possible here. He's telegraphed his intentions early so the club can do whats best for it and allowing rep squads the chance to evaluate his selection.
I think that attitude means he is deserving of selection in any team that'll have him.
The important point here is that unlike may NRL stars of the past who have torn up contracts to make immediate moves to other codes or other NRL teams, this young man is prepared to honor his contracts and work them through. This shows integrity beyond his years and should be respected not ridiculed. It is really sad to see Gus taking the stance he has.
Siebs is a great addition for this bit. He can explain it in a way the others simply can't. Nice to see Nine being forced to do this a bit more with Rugby in the same stable. League has taken way more than it's lost, win some lose some
He sounds like he needs to clear his throat
they've taken way more because they have 17 teams, not 4
He has severe mental issues shouldn't be on the panel
Apparently he is coming out as gay soon
Very sad for his family
@@tast7017in clubs. But rugby is an international game. Not based around clubs
@@joedennehy386 gee you dont say. And where are those international team selected from?
Why not just be happy for a young man thats being rewarded for his hard work
Suaalii is a young professional athlete, he must do what's best for his career prospects you never know when things can end with injury in contact sports. Suaalii has a contract to complete in the NRL, Gus is being emotive and not rational. I have no doubt that Suaalii can play both codes at a professional level. Great for the ARU to have such young talent boost their stocks, players switching codes will continue, there are many examples to choose from not just the high profile players such as SBW, RTS, Tuqiri, Sailor, Folau, Rogers etc that is professional sport.
So it's ok for League to poach juniors from Union, but when those want to return to Union, Gus has a bit of a grizzle.
exactly, it's like they don't acknowledge poaching all the rugby school boys
Can someone explain to me exactly what this kid did wrong????? $350k per year NRL or 1.6M a season Rugby, We gonna miss you playing league but do what’s best for you and for your family . All the Best Sualii
He betrayed the sport
@@strikerbowls791 Would u take a 1.6m salary for your family or 350k to show your loyalty for a sport and the fans who don't know anything about your family
@@strikerbowls791 Even The Sport is Not Loyal to The Players ! It’s All Business Nowdays , those Loyal Days are Over
@@kingpaula8134 Exactly
betrayed the sport? wait till you find out he played union before league champ.@@strikerbowls791
Gus cant help but come off as extremely bitter in this segment.
I mean he has a point, talk of the town for 18 mpnths lmfao
Anyone would think he’s never understood that the two rugby code’s are professional sports…
Young poly kid doing well for himself. You love to see it
Except these guys hate to see it😭 they mad because polys are just to good 😤
Seibold is actually a very smart footy head, if he wasn’t a head coach I’d be more than happy to have him be on the show
Haha 😂 he’s a Harvard graduate and probably the only one in both codes.
We all wish Gus would make the decision to disappear... always throwing his toys out the cot 😂
Was looking for the laughing emoji and realised I wasnt on Facebook... 😂
Jealousy mate.
Don’t hate the player , hate the game
Or just not hate either lol
@@enterpassword3313 well Rugby League has lots to fix and if they think everything is great they are kidding themselves
@@darylkanofski9327 the game has been in the best position in years wtf you talking about, it's union that is dead in this country.
@@DabDabGoose Yeah but union is way more global.
Gus is good at walking. He did it at the warriors. Didn’t honour the contract!
Well, he started in Rugby and NRL enticed him with some big pay days... Now Rugby have enticed him back... Good for him, Union is an international game on the move. He'll probably end up in France making large amounts .
or Japan
Go now! Spot on. See ya
He was originally poached from Union, we didn’t hear any up roar from them, now union has come back and poached him back, everyone, especially Gus is having a mad cry about it🤦🏽♂️
Reminds me of that boss that when you wanna do something for yourself and move on they turn on you, in NZ there's alot more respect amongst codes , most union fans watch league as well
Mosr union fans in NZ do not follow league.
Maybe he wanted to play in a World Cup that has full stadiums 🤷♂️
Possibly. He's a Leo and they tend to like the big stage.
@@connorduke4619 starsigns literally have nothing to do with this 🤦🏼♀️
@@kwesttttt So are you an expert on human personality traits, human spirit or even that the human spirit is eternal and uses different astrology signs to have different experiences of life on the physical plane in each incarnation?
@@connorduke4619
No but are you an expert on how unicorn farts and tea leaves effect the aether in which ephemeral human souls come to inhabit the mind/body duality and thus the determine the ultimate karmic balance and destination of young sports athletes ?
@@garywebster3044 I am not a Wokester who believe unicorn farts will generate base load power. BUT I do have decades of 100% success experience in convincing university (inc. PhD) educated people that their personality very closely aligns with their natal astrological chart when properly and fully calculated (which it is usually not).
I will also add another Leo league player who joined union to play in a world cup ws Sonny Bill Williams. They do - all other factors being equal - tend to enjoy the limelight more than others. SBW else went into boxing prize fighting which yet another Leo - Paul Gallen - did as well.
I also bothered to fast and meditate to an extreme, silencing both body and mind, to see if I could perceive an non-physical dimension like the ancient Indian yogis claimed to be able to do 3,000 years ago.
And guess what? It's there and feels even more real than the physical. The physical is a vague dream compared to the astral which permeates, pre dates and post dates our short trips to the physical.
cheers
It's funny hearing Gus act like leauge isn't a off branch of rugby union which is globally favoured unlike league
Gallen is exactly right. He’s playing league RIGHT NOW so he should be selected for NSW if he’s good enough. Gus saying he shouldn’t be considered because he’s going next season is just bitterness that he’s chosen the other code.
Yeah but even Gallen also said he doesn't think he will be selected, fullback and centres have plenty of people in front of Joseph. So it's irrelevant
@@shanehodges6980 It’s not irrelevant. Just because Gallen thinks he won’t be selected, that doesn’t mean he won’t be selected. That’s just Gallen’s opinion. He’s not a selector so it means nothing.
@@bonanimathambo8721 It's actually the definition of irrelevant because Gus isn't selecting the team either, and in no world is sualii getting selected before Tedesco / turbo as fullback or katoni/wighton/Crichton as centres or addo carr/ to'o as winger, even tupou before him.
Unless there is several injuries he wont be getting near a jersey, especially with his current form @ the roosters.
@@shanehodges6980 The point is that Gus thinks he shouldn’t even be considered because he’s moving to rugby next year. That’s the point.
If somebody said you should never be allowed to win the lottery because you live in Sydney, I can’t say that’s irrelevant because you probably won’t win the lottery anyway. That isn’t the point. The point is it’s ridiculous for someone to say you shouldn’t be allowed to win (when everybody else is allowed to) when you’ve done nothing wrong.
I could boo him every time he touches the ball but then again I hate the Roosters.. I’m kind of happy they are losing him. I’d like to see players leaving them rather than them constantly signing star off contract players.
Sour old men. NRL should enjoy Sualli presence till he leaves. He is a talent
People don’t know that this guy was playing rugby union since he’s junior rugby days before he signed to NRL
Gus is jealous he never had the offer to jump
😂
That's well and good from Gus but you would have to pay him out, and it would affect your salary cap. So unless it was impacting the environment negatively you might as well play him. Especially if he can help you win. And what is Gus expecting players to do on their next contracts? Not talk to anyone until their contract is over? That's not how contracts work. You have to lock in your next gig while you can.
Good on this kid 👏🏾👏🏾
Made a business decision that's best for him. Sour grapes Gus.
Is this the same Gould who signed Kikau to struggling Bulldogs from another club more than 12 months out. Out of all administrators he should know what that entails. So Gould’s allowed but others aren’t whether same code or not?? Good on Suali’i. If it was my bro, I’d encourage him the same.
Go now. Go get your money while you can brother. Do what's best for you and family
old man has lived the better part of his life lol
Gus says anything to stand out
I don't follow much Rugby League anymore so can someone fill me in, will Suaalii be playing fullback when he switches to Union as that is what I though he wanted to do
Probably play anywhere for 1.6 million
@@Jack-gn4gl Probably but I thought that's what he wanted or was it, that's why I admire players who stay at one club especially Jonah Lomu who was offered over a Million to play at the Sharks in the early 1990's but said he wanted to play for the Allblacks
Disgusting how quick they turn on there "stars"
I hate to admit this but Gus has a point. Keeping him in the game will only promote rugby and not the nrl every time he plays.
So what if it does promote rugby
Sam Burgess and RTS didn’t cop any flack, so dunno why they’re picking on Suaalii for
@@willyjohnson444 Burgess was actually committed to helping South succeed before he left...
Yeah, because league supporters didn’t know rugby union existed until Suaalii signed with the Waratahs.
N yet, these Muppet r doing free advertising for union 😂😂
Sualii the super star! He’s a great player
No... he's not !
@@BaxterThewall What are your thoughts?? I’m saying this cause is a fact Suaalii is a super star, even if you’re a hater I respect this player.👌🫡
@@paulfua1803 At least wait until he accomplishes some thing before calling him that... he has that potential, but no.. He is not a super star.
He’s worth every penny at 19 years old. People forget all the top fullbacks Teddy, Turbo, Gutho, Latrell, Slater, pappe and TVS couldn’t make the run on team at the same age but all peaked in the early to mid 20’s.
The only guys in similar growth and ability at 19 was Folau and Inglis.
@@BaxterThewall I keep hearing his name but why is he so special
Good to see seibs back around the game ,as a bunnies supporter I liked him when he coached us I think he's a smart coach does his homework 😉 good to see h bounced back from the Brisbane debacle he's come out the other side good on ya Seibs
How do you watch the whole show?
Monday nights on channel nine
channel 9 have their own streaming site that has the complete shows mate
@@mohamadalsalman2485 I thought he meant how do you endure sitting through such a terribly dull show. Remember the actual footy show and the sunday roast? Oh how far we've fallen.
@@Hardcastle83 haha the footy show was peak tele but this is not that bad and it their takes are pretty interesting to see
I agree 100% with Gus.
Man...I felt sick just typing that.
I think most people forget that Phil Gould was one of the softest players to play professionally. That’s what Les Boyd told me anyway! The bloke Carry’s on like he was an immortal the flog
Guss knows very well we got talent who come from Rugby back ground....Cronk, Ponga, Criton, Murray, good % of Pacific Islanders.
Funny that, NRL are known for poaching young union players 👀👀
So true....
He was poached from Union in the first place!
I wish we could say this to gus
People keep talking about him coming back to league tbh I doubt it when players go to union from league they usually don’t come back they get a taste for regular international rugby as well the huge amount of money you can make
Siebs musta caught up with sleep already, looking fresh and spritely
Well it’s not your fella’s business..!!
He’s already been their before, Good on him👏👏
Maybe I’m wrong but I just don’t see the hype. What’s so good about him that he warrants 1.6m a season?
On ya Gus!
Live with it Gus ya sook.
Siebs actually knows what hes talking about here. You leaguies should look at that as a prime example of spreading your wings overseas and taking in the bigger picture :)
Gus 😂 love you mate
Interesting to see how worked up the rugby league pundits are getting worked up over this. You would never see this kind of reaction in union if a player decided to switch to league.
Joseph suallii gonna be a blast for rugby union💪🙌😝😊😊
Hmm no. Ordinary player. They paid way overs.
What is he saying, end of the day you can’t fault the guy. International rugby is the pinnacle of both sports. It’s the biggest globally out of both sports. Can’t blame him for going and telling him to go sooner is just petty
Gus you right .. being a rugby union guy you right
Does any one in particular owns the game in Australia.
Rugby, Lions, home WC, couple years in France then retire in Japan. Take all you can young fella 🙌
Suaalii: "No, I stay!"
That one year contract could nearly set you up for life. Do u get Superannuation at 10% with that too
Joseph has the right to do what he wants but as a die hard nrl supporter, I understand we’re Gus is coming from Joseph’s only a kid and he’s a gun
We HAVE TOPOU FROM THE ROOSTERS HAS PLAYED GREAT FOOTY ALL YEAR LONG DESERVES HIS PLACE IN THE ORIGIN SIDE ,
He'll make better money, for his village back home, I suppose.
Good luck to him ...
It's not for his village mate , the guy deserves it if he is hurt badly in a game to the point he cannot perform then to he justifies his income no one else will look after him. The guy deserves it and all the best in your rugby future.
He should go now grub using his knees in tackles what a grub
He's still in rugby league should be eligible for NSW
An act of desperation from Rugby Union. They are basically bankrupt and throwing all their money at an unproven player.
He is a long way from a superstar player.
The biggest taking point in both codes.....in Australia 😂😂
He'd be a awesome addition to Joe's Aussie team,
Doing well,2from 2 against Wale's,about time, watching from NZ,the crowd was, impressive,great to see,
Well done West islanders 🤭💯👍🇳🇿
Thanks Gus, he’s coming.
Love Gus, he tells how it is. Bang ‼️
The kid who will take his place could be anything and the Roosters poached him from union
Go now! 🤣🤣
Gus has a heart bigger than phar lap, but we should be looking at uniting the codes. RL/RU in Australia and RU on the international stage. RU is a harder game.
RU is a harder sport I agree. in league all you do is run. in union there’s line outs, scrums and mauls.
Harder game to watch , most rugby forwards would last all of 5 minutes & 2 decent hits 🤣
@@lesm350 most rugby league forwards won’t event last a minute against union forwards 🤣
@@lesm350 put a NRL forward in Union and watch him get snapped in the scrum, rucks and line outs hahahaha considering union forwards are bigger the the NRL ones 🤣
@@michaelkonelio7452 🤣🤣🤣🤣Scrums, rucks & lineouts, just a place for the overweight, unskilled , rugby forward to rest up until they can complete another 10 man pileup aka tackle 🙄
Gus mad about a situation he guessed would happen months ago lmao he’s going to be a rich 21 year old in 2025, don’t blame him
Good on you Sualii play for Toa this year uso 🇼🇸
this yr?? who they playing this yr?
Good old Captain Gus Hindsight. "I said it would happen". Why so mad then? The kid played rugby at school, got swooped by Rugby League and now he got swooped to go back to Union. It's a business and if a player can command that salary in another job, then that is his worth, right or wrong. Get over it. Good on him for getting paid. As if RU won't mention he came from League every time he does something good in Union.
Agree
Gus is right.
Nrl can’t hold these players! On to bigger and better things.
Has a league commentator pronounced a Polynesian name correctly ever?
People are overlooking Gus’s point, yes it comes across as salty or having a sook but he pointing out the fact that it does absolutely nothing for the game of NRL to have him play now for the next 2 years. All it does it promote Union and the Wallabies and although that’s ok as a country and supporting the codes, it does absolutely nothing for League especially when the game is trying to still grow and it’s actually reaching massive levels. I don’t think losing Joe is bad for the game at all, but it does promote a rival code so I can completely understand Gus’s frustration.
100%
But Gus at the same time is mocking Union for no one knowing anything about it, so you can’t have it both ways, either union is dead in Australia so why worry about a kid moving over or Union is actually a threat
@@lauifisaufoisamoa I agree. He’s a moron contradicting himself. If Union is dead in Australia then what would he have to worry about?
Well said Gus
Hahaha stupid
Leave him alone hahahha
There was never any judgement against lote, korabetie, sonny bill, why suallii? to be honest he is a good chance of playing in a grand final this year in my opinion, he is a fantastic player, I think we as nrl fans should just make the most of his talents in league, I think brandon smith is correct in saying his defection to union is not going to be the answer to australia beating the all blacks, he would enjoy more wins staying in league but the money must be the key factor in his defection to union, his pockets will be fuller in union but his name would be bigger in league, but im a league fan through and through, at the end of the day he is doing what he truly wants to do and thats his choice, good for him, there is another kid waiting for his chance in league out there that is very happy with josephs decision, so in one way it is fantastic for league to allow for the next big talent to enter the scene, gotta think of the positives hey
He has made his decision? He decided to play for the Roosters for the next 2 seasons - and has signed to play rugby in 2 years. That’s what he has decided and I’m a Raiders supporter
He should went to nfl and being a wide receiver
I know it sounds harsh but Gus is speaking the truth. There is a financial war between football codes in Australia. When the ARU lost Sualili, originally, they would have been devastated. Phil Gould is simply expressing the disappointment of losing a battle in a much bigger war.
2:32 tell me the roosters hand out brown paper bags, without telling me the roosters hand out brown paper bags
The lack of international rugby league is extremely poor! Rugby union internationally offers more, travel, competition, tours.
its like your wife telling you she'll leave you for another man in 2 years but you guys are good till then... hahahaha Im with Gus ...best of luck ... off you go bye bye... but I gotta say... Brumbies are getting a top talent for sure
...top wife? 😂😂😂
You could tell Gus wanted to quote the great PowerFish - “Now F#*K Off! “🤣🤣
It’s simple. Gus is threatened by the existence of Rugby Union 🤣 bro needs to chill
Gus got it right
geeez the kids young, it wouldn’t hurt to be supportive lol😂😂😂
Listen to the Gusfather.......he speaks the Gospel......Amen!
@ PaulGallen - flipping that question around, how do think NRL players feel when 1 player earns over 1 million and the other 24 have to share in 11 million. That could not be a serious question - clutching at straws. Players will go between both codes as long as the moneys there. Coaches will trade players out like cow fodder, so it’s all fair game that they get whatever $$$ they can.
Union all the way 👌🏼
Was nothing said in the past gus when all those league players went to union good on you suuaali
He's not a good fit for Union Just like RTS and Vunivalu. But he's good enough to make the wallabies squad bring him in this year and try to get him to play in this year's WC. Sonny Bill Sam Burges were beasts in league came to Union and got owned lol
