Sebastian Su'a (born 15 September 2003) is a New Zealand professional rugby league footballer who currently plays as a prop forward for the Dolphins in the National Rugby League.

Playing career
[edit | edit source]Early years
[edit | edit source]After a stint with the Akarana Falcons, Su'a joined the Newcastle Knights in 2022.[4]
2024
[edit | edit source]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
[edit | edit source]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] On 13 April the move was immediate with Su'a in a swap deal with Dolphins player Mason Teague.[9]
