. Siale continued to play up until 2007 where he made 10 appearances, until he signed with the Reds for the 2008 Super 14
season along with fellow New South Wales Waratahs
player Morgan Turinui
.
Chris came of age in the ARC where his excellent footwork and line breaking ablitiy combined with his strong defence earned him a way into the depleted Queensland midfield along with 2007 Waratahs team mate and Wallaby World Cup member Morgan Turinui
. He was also unlucky to be called up to the Wallabies squad for the 2007 World Cup held in France, due to an ankle injury he had suffered during the ARC tournament. The duo prove to be a strong center combination for previouly midfield lacking Reds.
