Sunia Turuva, the electrifying winger for the Penrith Panthers, is facing an uncertain future as he remains off-contract despite winning the prestigious 2023 Dally M Rookie of the Year award.
This Fijian flyer took the NRL by storm last season, proving himself as a force to be reckoned with on the left wing spot as he filled in for the injured Taylan May.
Turuva's remarkable performance not only helped his team secure the NRL premiership but also put him ahead of his rivals Jahream Bula and Jacob Preston in the race for the coveted Rookie of the Year title.
In an exclusive interview with Zero Tackle, Turuva opened up about his contract situation and revealed his desire to stay with the Penrith Panthers for the long haul.
When asked if remaining with his beloved club was his ultimate dream, Turuva passionately responded, "That's kind of what it's going to have to be, I love this club; it's home." With his undeniable talent and unwavering loyalty, it would be a true loss for the Panthers to let this diamond in the rough slip through their fingers.
