context_section_description: In round 4 against his former club the Sydney Roosters, Waqa played his first match in the 2012 NRL season in the Storms’ 44-4 victory over the Sydney Roosters at AAMI Park.

Waqa returned to first grade in round 19 against the North Queensland Cowboys in the Storms' 20-16 loss at AAMI Park. Waqa retained his wing spot for the rest of the 2012 season after when regular Storm winger Matt Duffie suffered a shoulder injury.
