Biography of Sia Soliola



HERITAGE NO : 1180
After making his debut in the Australian Jersey Flegg competition, Soliola moved onto the Premier League in which he won a premiership with the Roosters in 2004. In 2005, Soliola made his first grade debut for the Roosters against South Sydney and went on to play 19 games for the club that season, crossing the line 6 times and making more tackles than any other centre in the game that year with 19.7 per game. He was chosen to make his international debut at the age of 19 for New Zealand in the Tri Nations series of 2005, however was forced to pull out due to injury. However, one year later in the same competition, Soliola then went on to gain representative honours with the Kiwis. Sia scored 4 tries including a double against the Australians in Melbourne.

The next two seasons were dogged by injury as Sia sustained serious knee and shoulder injuries. The latter was symptomatic of his play, as he was regarded as one of the hardest tacklers ever to play in the NRL.

His career with the Saints saw a continuation of this poor fortune and he was forced to miss much of the 2010 season with a serious injury. However, there was light at the end of the Old Trafford tunnel as Sia recovered in time to help guide Saints to their fifth successive Grand Final against Wigan.

The 2011 season witnessed Sia playing at full throttle again and the Saints supporters were treated to his characteristic hard runs and crunching defence. Although still donning the number 4 jersey, Sia played most of the season in the second row. His fine form led to his selection for the Exiles in the International Origin match against England at Headingly on 10 June 2011. The 2011 season was a real roller coaster for all the team. Not only had the club got to contend with playing all their home matches at Widnes, following the sale of Knowsley Road, but a series of injuries threatened to derail the quest for silverware.

Never the less the players responded magnificently by reaching an eleventh consecutive Challenge Cup Final and a record breaking sixth successive Grand Final. However, a sour taste of disappointment featured as the Saints lost to Wigan in the Challenge Cup and Leeds came back strongly in the last twenty minutes of the Grand Final to dampen the spirits. Sia had collected his second losers Grand Final medal.

Sia proved to be a most consistent player for the Saints and a firm favourite of the Saints faithful. His tough tackling and willingness to take on the opposition made him an invaluable asset for the club.

He was finally rewarded in the 2014 Grand Final as his try in the second half sent the Saints on their way to victory over Wigan.
