NFL Penrith Panthers finally sign Joseph Sua for $85 Million’s… See more…
New Samoan head coach and current Penrith Panthers assistant Ben Gardiner disclosed that Suaalii had been ruled out of the end-of-year Test matches due to concussion issues.
The Roosters outside back, who will soon join the 15-man sport known as rugby union, missed the club’s semi-final game against the Melbourne Storm, having suffered his second concussion in three months.
“He’s unavailable. I had a discussion with the Roosters a few weeks ago… It’s concussion protocol. I don’t want to go too much into it because I’m not privy to that information,” Gardner said via The Daily Telegraph.
Gardner also discussed the absence of Jarome Luai who will miss the Pacific Championships via injury after re-aggravating his shoulder issue during the Grand Final.
The five-eighth is set to go under the knife to repair his dislocated shoulder to be ready for the beginning of next season.
“Having a discussion with Jarome yesterday, he is very disappointed he can’t be part of the team. He’ll be a close part of what we do, he’ll be coming on the ride,” Gardner said.
