Big hair and big heart: Raiders Sia Soliola to shave his iconic locks to help local kids in need
This Thursday night (22 November), Sia Soliola is shaving off his famous locks to raise funds to support disadvantaged and disabled children in the ACT via local charity Kulture Break and while he is quietly nervous about the shave, Soliola says he is committed to the cause.

'Anyone would have done what I did': Sia Soliola's desire to help Canberra
Sia Soliola is the type of guy who shaves his head to raise money for charity. And serves food at a homeless shelter. And drives a distraught stranger around the streets to help her look for stolen belongings. The Raiders cult hero will shave his head to raise money for Kulture Break on Thursday afternoon, cutting his long locks for the first time in almost three years.
"He's 'Uncle Sia'. He's always there for the boys, he's one of the nicest blokes you'll meet. He'd do anything for anyone," Jarrod Croker said.

Canberra Raiders star Sia Soliola's haircut raises $50k for Kulture Break
It would have to be the most expensive hair in Canberra. And it's taken Canberra Raiders prop Sia Soliola's breath away - in part because he raised more than $50,000 for charity getting it cut off, but also because he had to front for training in the unseasonal cold on Friday without the warmth of his mop.
"It's breathtaking. It's what it's for, that's really the grateful thing, and what it's going towards," Soliola said. "That was pretty cool. I'm speechless. It's one of the reasons why I love this place, I love this game."

Well done to Sia for raising this money. He will be 'Kojak' for Xmas, but by next March he'll have a good rug up top.
