Filiga has been heralded as the next Sonny Bill Williams.[1] The Sharks won a bidding war in late 2007 for Filiga, committing to a AUD600,000 contract over three years. Filiga, previously a Bulldogs junior, has yet to make his debut in first-grade and spent most of 2007 sidelined with chest and foot injuries.[2]

Filiga recently changed his name from McNichol to his mother’s maiden name of Filiga.[3]
