Fiji Bati Coach Matt Adamson says it is time for Henry Raiwalui to stamp himself more on the side.

The 29-year-old came through the Dragons Under-20s side.

Adamson says Raiwalui has been around with so many influential and powerful players in rugby league.

“He’s got a lot of footy in him. He’s one of those guys that’s gone along at a certain level. I had a chat with him today and sort of encouraged him to step out and become a leader. There’s a lot of good footy to still be played in him.”

Raiwalui is on the starting line-up for the Fiji Bati clash against the PNG Kumuls.

Fiji will take on PNG at 6pm on Saturday while Tonga will take on Samoa at 9.10pm.
