Karlos Filiga ( né McNichol; born 16 October 1988 in Wellington, New Zealand) is a former professional rugby league footballer who played for Cronulla-Sutherland in the National Rugby League (NRL) competition. Filiga primarily played at centre or in second-row. As of 2024, he is a Personal Trainer in Cooma.[ citation needed]
Filiga was born in New Zealand. His father is Australian and his mother is Samoan. Filiga changed his last name from McNichol to his mother's maiden name of Filiga. [2]
In 2007, Filiga was labelled by his manager as "the next Sonny Bill Williams". [3] [4]
Cronulla won a bidding war in late 2007 for Filiga, committing to a A$600,000 contract over three years. Filiga, previously a Bulldogs junior playing for the Chester Hill Hornets, didn't make his debut in first-grade in 2007 as he spent most of the season sidelined with chest and foot injuries. [5]
In 2008, the first year of his three-year Cronulla contract, Filiga's NRL appearances were limited by his form. He spent only 11 minutes on the field in the NRL, playing off the bench in a match against Penrith in round 13. [3]
Cronulla Sharks released Filiga on "compassionate grounds" in April 2009. [6] It is estimated that Filiga's 11-minute NRL career cost Cronulla A$20,000 per minute. [6]
Filiga then went to play for the Wentworthville Magpies, who are the feeder club for the Parramatta Eels NRL Side.
As of 2017, Filiga plays for The Cooma Stallions. [7]
