Fiji Airways Kaiviti Silktails Strength & Conditioning coach Vanavasa Niuqila says there was a sense of pride seeing their former players continue their sporting careers abroad.

Niuqila recently returned from a week-long NRL Workshop in Sydney with the Sydney Roosters.

He adds he is thrilled to see the talent they developed excelling overseas.

“They have really done a good job there and it has encouraged me to work hard on my job in order for me to build these boys – these Kaiviti Silktails boys in order for them to – in the case they have a chance to play for that competition, the Sydney Roosters so they can make us proud and I am happy for their performance that side.”
