Samoa star Joseph Suaalii has been called out by viewers after being placed on report for a dangerous act in his side's thrilling Rugby League World Cup quarter-final victory over Tonga.
The 19-year-old played a starring role in Samoa's heart-stopping 20-18 win in Warrington, which set up a semi-final showdown with England and a chance to atone for their 60-6 flogging by the hosts in the opening game of the tournament.

However, Suaalii will be nervously waiting to find out his punishment after being placed on report for lifting his knees during a questionable incident involving Tonga forward Felise Kaufusi.
Suaalii has been previously warned about his running style while playing for the Roosters in the NRL, with the teen superstar having raised his knees into an oncoming tackler, on a number of occasions now.

As an aside ... it would be a fair contest ... Sualli's knee V's Kaufusi's elbow ... winner take all.

Suakneeli has had that running style all his life it's a miracle he hasn't been pulledd up for it before. He must have terrorised the poor little Anglo rugby kids in the private schools running like that in under fourteens.

 

[MissKate]

Well he couldn’t have picked a better person to knee in the head

When he did this before all he got was a ‘naughty boy letter’ oh he must have been terrified - no wonder he didn’t reform his running style

Brent Kite says Hi! Not sure how many weeks he got busted for

 

[globaleagle]

It's a highly dangerous and deliberate act (no matter what the coaches blurt out).

He can either fix it, run like every other human, or spend extended periods on the sidelines.

Even though Kaufusi should be sitting out with his constant elbows, knees to the head are not on.

Hopefully even the paper bags from Nick wont let this disappear.

Looked terrible. Next game is against England so presumably will get a week.

Or a tournament ban…..which in this case is the same timeframe unless you are the Terrorgraph

 

[globaleagle]

If you ignore a first caution letter then you'll be hit with .....

another caution letter.



Samoa fullback Joseph Sua'ali'i has received a caution for raising his knee in a tackle.

NRL Judiciary Report: Kiwi games counted in NAS ban

Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona will only miss one game at the start of the 2025 season after it was ruled that three of New Zealand's Pac Champs game would count as part of his ban.

Though Junior Paulo raises an arm...1 game suspension. Raise a knee into a players face "Please don't do it again."

 

[Captain Moondog]

If he jumped on someones head he'd cop a severe reprimand. Murder someone on the field he'd probably incur a fine. The games new untouchable.....don't upset him he may go to Union.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Yep, let him play, fans want to see him. But ban Paulo becuase we don't want Samoa to actually win the game.

I think a couple of brown paper bags got delivered there by express post

 

[Tragic Eagle]

It is dangerous and he is a repeat offender. What is the difference between a raised elbow and a raised knee at a player attempting to tackle you head on? None.

 

[ricardo]

Plays for roosters, any ban will be during the Australian Rugby 7s i guess ... where is Kaufusi's Elbow when you need him ...

 

[Kaufusi's Elbow]

Got a long way to go, Felise has ended more careers than this little fella has backflipped on contracts ...

I'm sure they're all accidental 🙄

 

[MissKate]

So all a player has to do now is threaten to leave the nrl to join union and they get preferential treatment with the judiciary, bet it only works for the select teams

 

[Under the Sticks]

It’s not an elbow from Kaufusi anymore, it’s a dorsel fin!

 

[Under the Sticks]

I thought Uncle Nick supported Greece not Samoa
