Joseph Suaalii, a young talented player, made the decision to switch from rugby league to rugby union by signing a long-term deal with Rugby Australia in March last year. He will be playing for the NSW Waratahs in Super Rugby and is expected to eventually represent the Wallabies. Suaalii will be eligible to play for the Wallabies at the 2025 British and Irish Lions tour and the 2027 Rugby World Cup, which will be held in Australia. His contract with RA is one of the biggest in Australian rugby history, rumored to be over $1.5 million per season. The exact position Suaalii will play in union is still up in the air, with suggestions that he will play at fullback or on the wing. His move has drawn comparisons to other rugby league stars who successfully transitioned to union. Overall, Suaalii’s switch to rugby union has generated excitement and anticipation for his future performances on the field.
