Debut: Vs Wests Warriors (A) 08/02/2025
Honours:
Leeds Rhinos signed Samoan forward Keenan Palasia from NRL side Gold Coast Titans on a two-year contract ahead of the 2025 season.
An impressive first season in blue and amber saw the prop play 28 times under Brad Arthur as his strong carries and hard-hitting tackles saw the Leeds fanbase warm to Palasia. He ended the season with one try to his name - a sole score in a home win over Castleford Tigers - plus he finished as one of the top tackling forwards in the Super League competition with 581 total tackles.
The 106kg forward joined the Titans in 2024 and made 15 appearances in the NRL having broken into the competition with Brisbane Broncos in 2019. He made his debut for the Broncos in 2019 before helping the side to the Grand Final in 2023 in his breakout season. He appeared in 20 games for the runners-up including an impressive spell off the bench in the Grand Final against Penrith when he made 131 metres and recorded 18 tackles in 38 minutes. In total he made 53 appearances for the Broncos.
Having grown up on the Gold Coast, he moved home to the Titans in 2024 and started the season playing for the Maori All Stars team, representing his maternal heritage. He also has three caps for World Cup runners up Samoa including playing against Australia and New Zealand in the 2023 Pacific Championships.
