Pictured here in 2008, Sisa Waqa had just made the switch from Union to League, after signing a two year deal with the Sydney Roosters. Waqa was playing for Gordon RFC in the Shute Shield, where he scored 26 tries in 18 games.
Born and raised in Fiji, Waqa represented the Fijian schoolboys, under-19s, under-21s and Fiji A in Union before moving to Australia.
Waqa would play 7 games in 2 years for the Tri-colours before signing with French rugby club Montauban. The deal fell through and Waqa spent the 2010 season playing locally in Sydney. Then, in true Craig Bellamy fashion, the Melbourne coach through the flying Fijian a lifeline.
Since joining the Storm last year, Waqa has found a home in Melbourne and on Sunday he'll play in his first NRL grand final.
