The Kaiviti Silktails are set to bring their A-game to the Gold Coast for the next three pre-seasons, as they gear up for the upcoming Jersey Flegg Cup seasons.
This strategic move comes as part of a partnership agreement with the City of the Gold Coast, allowing the squad to immerse themselves in top-notch training facilities and prime beachside vibes.
Having already set foot on the Gold Coast earlier this year for their clash against the PNG Hunters, the Fijian squad is no stranger to the sun-kissed shores of the Aussie coastline.
Now, they're back for more, with plans to take on the Gold Coast Titans and the Redcliffe Dolphins in two high-stakes pre-season trials.
The man leading the charge, Petero Civoniceva, a legendary figure in the world of Rugby League, has deep ties to the Redcliffe Dolphins.
With a career that saw him don the jerseys of the Australian Kangaroos, Fiji Bati, and several NRL teams, Civoniceva knows a thing or two about what it takes to succeed on the field.
After hanging up his boots in 2014, he returned to the Queensland Cup for one final season with the Dolphins, cementing his status as a true Rugby League icon.
As the Silktails prepare to touch down on the Gold Coast in February 2025, they're not just there for a holiday - they mean business.
With their sights set on victory, this squad of skilled athletes is ready to show the world what they're made of.
So, get ready to witness some top-notch Rugby League action, as the Silktails bring their own brand of flair and finesse to the Gold Coast shores.
