Mosese "Moses" Suli (born 9 June 1998) is a Tongan international rugby league who plays for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League. He made his debut for the Wests Tigers and was signed by the Canterbury Bulldogs for the 2018 NRL season before his contract was terminated in the pre-season for repeated indiscretions.
He plays as a centre and wing.
Background
Suli was born in Fairfield, New South Wales, Australia. He is of Tongan descent[2]
He 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]
2018
On January 31, Suli was released by the Wests Tigers. It was reported that Suli would only attend training sessions for five minutes, and would sleep in a teammates car while the team was training.[10]'He was quickly signed by the Canterbury Bulldogs. However, 28 days later, his new contract was terminated by the Belmore-based club following repeated indiscretions.[11] It was revealed he had been given 2 warnings in his first 2 weeks at the club.[12]
Suli subsequently joined Manly-Warringah, making his debut in round 9. By round 14, he had been dropped again after misplacing his passport and missing training in New Zealand.[13]
