The Nadera Panthers Rugby League team is adamant that they can reclaim their status as Local Rugby League Champions in the coming years.

Once known to be the giants of the 13 man game, the Panthers are grooming young talents with the hope of becoming champions once again.

Nadera Panthers’ coach Dakuitoga Vulaono says he is now trying to build a team combination for the long term.

Dakuitoga is hoping some of his players will be selected in the national team to represent Fiji in the Pacific Games in Samoa next July.
