Playing as a half back flanker for the 1980 Grand Final Solin was a one of the best on round and managed to kick two goals in a losing side. In 1982 Solin played on the half back flank again and kicked one goal as part of the premiership team, in the 1983 premiership side Solin lined up at fullback playing on Warren Ralph (who still kicked 3 goals but was still well held).
