This is when the Tigers offer suali'i a 5 year deal at fullback guaranteed for 8 mill on the quiet.This can only get messy. Suaalili and his manager know the best outcome for him is for Teddy to leave. Last resort for him would be to leave Roosters to be fullback at a less successful club.
Teddy knows either the roosters stick with him and lose arguably the best young player in the game or he can draw a line in the sand and leave sooner rather than later to maximise his last contract.
Teddy may have a couple of years left in him at the end of 2025, but not at peak earning. If he were to be released for 2024 he could command $1.5m a year for 3-4 years easy.
Don't see Suaalili rolling over and playing centres like Manu. He may do a Latrell and leave but this could be the beginning of a PR spin that Teddy wants long term security and helping Roosters secure the future could be a "nice" way for Teddy to leave.
