The Reds have added firepower to their backline after signing Melbourne Storm wing Suliasi Vunivalu on a two-year deal, beginning in 2021.
A schoolboy rugby union talent in New Zealand, Vunivalu will make the switch back to the 15-man code following several years in the NRL.
During his time in rugby league, the electrifying wing has broken the record for the most tries of any player in his first two seasons and currently has a total of 72 tries in 94 appearances for the Storm – including 11 in the 2019 season.
Reds head coach Brad Thorn said: “As a group we look forward to welcoming Suliasi Vunivalu back to rugby and to Queensland in 2021.
“Suliasi grew up playing rugby in New Zealand before becoming one of the NRL’s most exciting players.

Would be Aus-qualified by now I assume? -

@mofitzy_ Hallelujah - This was a limited edition Blues jersey that quickly sold out and they had to make more. You think they would learn from history.

@Daffy-Jaffy
Crazy thing is if you look at most top sports leagues, the designs are simple (NFL, NBA, most soccer/football kits), so it's not as if they are following trends with these designs. -
@mofitzy_ you are right. It seems to be mostly Rugby teams who try to out ugly each others Jreseys. I think the trend stated in Europe, France especially.
Stad Francais are world ugly Jersey champions several times over I think.
I could go on but I may have over stayed my welcome. -
@Daffy-Jaffy I was watching the History of rugby and the Stades owner said he wanted to make rugby more like entertainment and make it appeal to women hence the colour.

I'm a jets fan (for my sins), and they released a new Jersey this year that was basically a slightly different shade of green with a white stripe on each shoulder. Fan base likes the green, but still thinks the jerseys are hideous.
Fans hate change.

The Waikato jersey is still the world's ugliest. Especially paired with those white shorts
