Ricky Stuart and Sia Soliola's relationship goes beyond just coach and player, which is why he hopes his prop's time with the Canberra Raiders goes beyond his playing days. Soliola will start against the Penrith Panthers at Panthers Stadium on Sunday, with Stuart wanting to honour his veteran in his 100th game for the Raiders. Soliola joined the Green Machine from English Super League club St Helens ahead of the 2015 NRL season. He won the Mal Meninga Medal as the club's best and fairest in his first season and has gone on to become a leader on and off the field. Stuart has known the 32-year-old since he was 17 and gave him his NRL debut - on the wing for the Sydney Roosters against South Sydney in 2005.
