Sydney Roosters young gun Joseph Suaalii granted exemption to play NRL before 18th birthday
Joseph Suaalii will be able to make his Sydney Roosters debut before his 18th birthday after being granted an exemption by the NRL.
Key points:
- The ARLC has given the Roosters permission to select Suaalii before he turns 18
- The 17-year-old scored two tries for North Sydney in his NSW Cup debut
- North Queensland star Jason Taumalolo was the last player to debut in the NRL as a 17-year-old
The ARL Commission (ARLC) approved the Roosters’ application today, after several months of debate around the youngster’s availability.
Suaalii still faces a battle to be picked in the Roosters’ all-star backline, but is likely to be the next player called in if there is an injury.
