Playing career

Early years

After a stint with the Akarana Falcons, Su'a joined the Newcastle Knights in 2022. [4]

2024

In 2024, Su'a signed an NRL development contract with the Knights, moving into the NRL top 30 squad in 2025. [5] In round 25 of the 2024 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Knights against the South Sydney Rabbitohs. He was originally named 18th man, but following the loss of Tyson Frizell due to foul play, the Knights were able to activate Su'a as a usable player. His night finished early, after he was sin-binned for a high tackle. [6]

2025

On 27 February, the Dolphins announced that they had signed Su'a for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. [7] Su'a was granted an immediate release by the Knights to join the Dolphins in 2025. [8]
