Dan McKellar says it'll require more than just the arrival of Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to lift the Waratahs out of the Super Rugby doldrums as the new NSW coach remains tight-lipped on where his code-hopping star will play. Suaalii is the headline acquisition at the Waratahs following last year's wooden-spoon campaign, but his heroics on Australia's Spring Tour have given hope he can spark a revival under former Brumbies coach McKellar.

A no-holds-barred spray from the usually laidback Benji Marshall has been the wake-up call Latu Fainu needed to perhaps fulfil the potential that once led to him being labelled the NRL's hottest property.
