Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson has revealed to Mark Levy youngster Joseph Suaalii will not play in their weekend clash with the NZ Warriors.

Despite the 17-year-old’s contract being signed off this week, Robinson said Suaalii will “most likely not” make it onto the field.

“He’ll be in the 21, I want to give him some of that experience, but we’re pretty good in the outside backs at the moment.

“I do want to get him closer to the action – Norths don’t play this weekend for us, so I want to give him that experience of an NRL game day.”
