Silktails head coach Wes Naiqama says he’s happy the pair will return to the side.

Naiqama says Waqanisaravi known to them as ‘Big Sonny’ spent most of the year with the Sydney Roosters grand final Jersey Flegg squad last season and was rewarded with a test jersey, playing for the Fiji Bati in the Pacific Championships.

The former Bati skipper says Waqanisaravi will continue his player development training with the Roosters in Sydney and as a club they have high hopes he’ll be pushing for a New South Wales Cup spot next season.

Taukeisalili according to Naiqama will also continue his training with the Roosters in Sydney.
