‘Rugby boss’ who nobody has ever heard of. Good on them for taking advantage of the free publicity we are giving them but rugby is still rugby. Perfect cure for insomnia.‘Thuggish behaviour’: Rugby boss claims NRL figures are turning on Suaalii
Rugby Australia’s chairman has fired back after Phil Gould urged Joseph Suaalii to leave the NRL immediately and “don’t let the door hit you on the arse”.www.smh.com.au
Kinda the worst publicity though isn't it?

yes - plenty of rugby league players from Australia and NZ go over there to play a few seasons and experience a different lifestyle
Plenty of people from Australia live in shitholes like South London and work and then travel to Croatia and the Greek Islands
Living in a shithole doesn’t sound like much of a glamourous option compared to living in Australia
I think the spending time in France thing is a bit of a lifestyle thing now that most players are so highly paid in the NRL they can now afford a few years basically earning nothing and playing/coaching and enjoying the lifestyle while they are still relatively young
Most people can put up with living in dumps like Leicester if they know they can always come back to somewhere nice
nothing like a few rainy "summers" up north to appreciate what you have
My Pommy mates say what they miss the most about London is Paris and Majorca
yep
I found northern England really lonely and cold

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. He's still young I'll give him that but he certainly hasn't justified a $1.6M price tag. Desperate move from the ARU paying that to a guy that's not making the NSW Origin team.
The challenge. Regardless of the status of RL outside of Australia, the NRL houses some of the best Rugby talent in the world and as it's brand grows, the lure of challenging yourself in that environment is very appealing.
