The Fiji Airways Kaiviti Silktails are halfway through to week four of their off-season training session and the team will be breaking for Christmas next week.

Kaiviti Silktails head coach Wes Naiqama says he prefers to recruit and train players from the local scene instead of bringing in players from overseas.

Kaiviti Silktails head coach Wes Naiqama plans to finalize his 30-man squad for next year’s competition after the initial trial.

Auckland-born speedster Solomon Alaimalo has officially joined the Wests Tigers, marking his transition from the world of Super Rugby to the National Rugby League (NRL).

The Kaiviti Silktails side have put in an application to compete in the Jersey Flegg Cup competition in New South Wales, Australia next year.

The Kaiviti Silktails have only 10 survivors in their current extended 38-member squad from the one that participated in this year’s New South Wales Ron Massey Cup competition.

There is a huge potential for local players to thrive in the Australian Football League.

The Kaiviti Silktails have been undergoing intensive training as they gear up for the upcoming season.
