Background
Born in Fairfield, New South Wales, Suli is of Tongan descent[2] and played his junior rugby league for Fairfield United. He was then signed by the Wests Tigers. Suli later said, "I got axed by Parra in Harold Matthews when I was 16. They actually wanted me back but I just didn’t want to go back. I just said I wasn’t interested. I was going good at the Tigers and I just wanted to stay here."[3]
Playing career
2016
In 2016, Suli played for the Wests Tigers' NYC team.[4]
2017
In January, Suli re-signed with the Tigers on a 3-year contract until the end of 2020.[5] In round 1 of the 2017 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Tigers against the South Sydney Rabbitohs,[6][7] scoring a try.[8] The Daily Telegraph said, "Apart from owning wonderful speed, footwork and vision, Suli is also larger than your favourite reality TV star’s ego. Truly, this young bloke is the real deal. A genuine Next Big Thing."[9]
