Someone I know was having a drink with the Wigan players after the match on Saturday and asked Harrison Hansen about Sia's tackle. To which Hansen replied......



"I saw myself going in under the posts dragging us back into the match then that big bugger came out of nowhere and hacked me down"



That tackle was definitely a game turner.

not been impressed with Sia all year but yes that was a great tackle

Why have you not been impressed?

I thought he was in myself, I couldn't believe it when he went down.



I think Sia's been a great player for us. He can play as a narrow forward for the hard drives, or hit angles wider out.



There was a comment made by the sky crew (probably bill arthur) during the last match, something along the lines of

"The Wigan players on the pitch are nursing a few knocks, most of them caused by Sia Soliola!"

Each to their own. I think Sia is married though, so Harrison might have to look elsewhere for his meat.

He is married.....two kids i think, one of them is only a week old.



Im not a stalker......honest

I agree he's been a great player for us....

Was a great tackle. He just managed to clip Hansen's shin with his hand. Could have been a game changer. But wasn't to be.



The same same could be said for Shenton's last grasp ankle tap on Tomkins when Sam was about to race under the sticks. It's big effort's like those that make all the difference.

Shenton always made a couple of big tackles on Tomkins during the DW play off match....defensively Shenton has stood up of late.

have to agree with that he has put in some very important tackles during the later part of the season.



Sia has improved as the season has gone on in my view. He missed a few and came out of the line too much early on.

Ive liked from watching him at sydney roosters and he was always a stand out player, any player who is a regular starter in the nrl is a quality player IMO they are on a different level to super league and to be fair hes had abit of bad look with injuries and fitness and he looks like hes got his match fitness back at the right time quality player IMO wouldnt mind him at warrington

his physical presence on the field is amazing the shots he puts in and he runs hard what more can you ask for

He's only 25 as well...
