Instagram post reveals NRL star Sia Soliola’s classy message for fan

Raiders star Iosia Soliola’s classy message on his arm strapping has been revealed in a heartwarming Instagram post.

The veteran forward’s incredible connection with a Raiders fan identified only as Mandy was shared with the world over the weekend when she posted a message of thanks to Soliola.

The 34-year-old had Mandy’s name written in permanent marker on his forearms.

The post also shows Soliola gave the fan one of his personal Raiders jumpers and reached out to her without the pair ever having previous contact.

The Instagram post reveals why Soliola is widely known as one of rugby league’s good guys.

“This is @sia_soliola of the Canberra Raiders,” the post by @millieg begins.

“My Canberra mate @clare_ellen reached out to Sia to tell him my story, with the request “please keep her smiling”.

“It was Sia’s own shirt that I received in the mail this week, fully signed by the team & donned with a message of support: ‘To Mandy, we’re with you every step of the way #BleedGreen’.

“Sia reached out directly to me via Instagram. He was humble, respectfully asked that it was ok to message me, and thanked me for following Canberra Raiders. He also reiterated that they were behind me, and to sing out if I needed anything.

“Last night Sia played his game with my name written on his arm.

“I’m so completely blown away by the gesture of this man. This man shaves his head to raise money for domestic violence victims. He serves food to homeless people. He does so many other things.

“But this week he put the most incredible smile on my face many times.
