He was a Samoan international representative who primarily played at {{rlp|hk}}. Early lifeElisala was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and moved to Woodridge, Queensland, Australia when he was 1.[4] Of Samoan descent, he played his junior rugby league for the Logan Brothers,[5] before moving to Townsville, Queensland. Whilst there he attended Ignatius Park College, and became close friends with future Cowboys teammate Michael Morgan.[6] Playing careerElisala played 69 games for the Cowboys in the National Youth Competition from 2010 to 2012. He started his NYC career as a {{rlp|fb}}, and {{rlp|wg}} before moving into the {{rlp|hk}} position.[7] He represented the Queensland under-20 team on 21 April 2012. In 2013, Elisala progressed into the Cowboys' NRL training squad. He began the season playing for their feeder team, the Mackay Cutters, in the Queensland Cup. On 20 April 2013, he debuted for the Samoan national team in their Pacific Rugby League International match against Tonga.[10] DeathIn the early hours of Sunday, 28 April 2013, paramedics and police were called to a Mackay CBD hotel where Elisala, 20, was found unconscious and not breathing after plunging from a hotel balcony. Elisala was admitted to Mackay Base Hospital, and put on life support[8][7] He died the following evening after his condition worsened and his life support system was turned off. Elisala had most recently played for the Cutters on Saturday night, scoring a try in their 22-22 draw with the Tweed Heads Seagulls.[5][7] ReactionThe Mackay Cutters retired jersey number 14, which Elisala had worn regularly off the interchange bench, for the remainder of the 2013 season.[9] A minute's silence was observed at Parramatta Stadium on 4 May 2013 prior to the Cowboys' NRL match against the Parramatta Eels. The Cowboys players also wore black armbands during the game to honour Elisala.[10] Following the suicide of Wests Tigers-contracted Mosese Fotuaika on 28 February 2013,[5] Elisala's death by suicide provoked scrutiny of the NRL's welfare systems for young players.[11] References1. ^{{cite web|last=Brundson|first=Simon|date=4 January 2016|title=North Queensland grand final hero Michael Morgan almost walked away from rugby league in 2013|url=http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/teams/cowboys/north-queensland-grand-final-hero-michael-morgan-almost-walked-away-from-rugby-league-in-2013/news-story/64565c90f974b0349d2949e10ba8fea6|publisher=Fox Sports|accessdate=11 April 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Elisala, Alex}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Alex Elisala|url=http://www.cowboys.com.au/playerprofiledisplay/Cowboys/Alex%20Elisala/1974|publisher=cowboys.com.au|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130205022410/http://www.cowboys.com.au/playerprofiledisplay/Cowboys/Alex%20Elisala/1974|archivedate=5 February 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Alex Elisala|url=http://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/players/Alex-Elisala/summary.html|publisher=Rugby League Project}} 4. ^{{cite web|date=30 April 2013|title=Partner's emotional tribute to dead NRL player|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/8614337/Partners-emotional-tribute-to-dead-NRL-player|publisher=stuff.co.nz|accessdate=11 April 2017}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|last=Garry|first=Chris|date=30 April 2013|title=North Queensland Cowboys player Alex Elisala dies, aged 20|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/north-queensland-cowboys-alex-elisala-player-on-life-support/story-e6frfgdf-1226631619185|publisher=Herald Sun|accessdate=29 April 2013}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|last=Lutton|first=Phil|date=20 May 2015|title=Michael Morgan overcomes tragic loss of Alex Elisala to roar into Queensland Maroons ranks|url=http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/state-of-origin/state-of-origin-michael-morgan-overcomes-tragic-loss-of-alex-elisala-to-roar-into-queensland-maroons-ranks-20150520-gh62q0.html|publisher=Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=11 April 2017}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite web|last=Frost|first=Pamela|date=29 April 2013|title=League community mourns loss of Cowboy Alex Elisala|url=https://www.dailymercury.com.au/news/cowboy-alex-elisala-life-support-mackay-hospital/1847493/|publisher=Daily Mercury|accessdate=11 April 2017}} 8. ^1 {{cite web|date=29 April 2013|title=Young Cowboy dies in hospital|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-29/young-cowboy-passes-away/4657876|publisher=ABC|accessdate=11 April 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web|last=Frost|first=Pamela|date=1 May 2013|title=Cutters retire Alex Elisala's jersey for season|url=https://www.qt.com.au/news/cutters-retire-alex-elisala-jersey/1849759/|publisher=Queensland Times|accessdate=11 April 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web|last=Frost|first=Pamela|date=3 May 2013|title=Game will pause to remember Cowboy Alex Elisala|url=https://www.dailymercury.com.au/news/game-will-pause-to-remember-elisala/1853281/|publisher=Daily Mercury|accessdate=11 April 2017}} 11. ^{{cite web|last=Jackson|first=Glenn|date=4 May 2013|title=The mind game: playing with an invisible pain|url=http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/the-mind-game-playing-with-an-invisible-pain-20130503-2iyf6.html|publisher=Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=11 April 2017}} 9 : 1992 births|2013 deaths|New Zealand rugby league players|New Zealand people of Samoan descent|Samoa national rugby league team players|Mackay Cutters players|Rugby league hookers|Rugby league players who committed suicide|Suicides in Queensland |
