Sia Soliola has revealed the lengths he went to have a takeaway meal 😲
"It was my full face but given the experience I had with previous fractures I was quite confident that I could maybe squeeze one or two games in so it is nice when you have a vision and it comes to fruition."
Besides being unable to eat his favourite meals, the hardest part of the 10-week recovery period for Soliola was being around his team-mates when they were preparing for a match but being unable to play."I did lose a bit of weight but I was able to get it back on pretty quick because with this injury – unlike a cheekbone or an eye-socket – I was able to start working quite quickly," Soliola said.
He was also pleased by the form of the Raiders during his stint on the sidelines, in which they also lost star hooker Josh Hodgson , winger Bailey Simonsson and forwards Corey Horsburgh and Emre Guler to long term injuries.Canberra have maintained fifth place since round 11 and are still a chance of finishing in the top four.
"It is a credit not only to the guys and the work they have been doing but also to the coaching staff in terms of the standards that were required," Soliola said."We didn’t really know what was going to happen so everyone prepped accordingly and how we needed them to because we have had injuries and the guys that have come up have done a really good job."
