Maurie Fa'asavalu is a former Samoan rugby union player who now plays Rugby League for St Helens.

Maurie Fa'asavalu was signed by the then St Helens coach Ian Millward in the winter of 2003 after a series of outstanding performances playing at flanker for Samoa in the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

Fa'asavalu took some time to adjust to Rugby League, but developed into an important part of the St Helens squad in 2006. He is however used primarily as an impact player, starting most games from the interchange bench.

Maurie Fa'asavalu made his debut on 13th March 2004 against Leeds Rhinos in a 24 to 14 victory at Knowsley Road.

Fas'asavalu was unlucky not to receive the Lance Todd Trophy for his performance in the 2006 Challenge Cup victory, where he scored a try in the 2006 and battered the Huddersfield Giants into submission.

St Helens fans were treated to Fa'asavalu's victory dance in both the Challenge Cup Final and the Grand Final for Super League XI. His inimitable try celebrations have seen him develop a real following on the terraces at Knowsley Road.

In total he scored 10 tries in 28 games during the 2006 season.
