Williams was a hero of the Roosters' 2013 premiership and made a cameo appearance for the club late last season. He was a hyped young superstar when he won a title with the Bulldogs in his debut NRL season, back in 2004, meaning he has walked in Suaalii's shoes.<\/p>\n
Suaalii made a sensational appearance for North Sydney, a Roosters feeder club, in a trial last weekend – in which he scored two tries against Canberra.<\/p>\n
