The Kaiviti Silktails have scored a try with their new 2025 coaching staff lineup, with former Fijian Schoolboys head coach Timoce Duve taking the reins as permanent head coach of the Jersey Flegg Cup team.
This move signals a new dawn for the Silktails, as they join forces with the Canterbury Bulldogs, after previous flirtations with the Sydney Roosters.
Having cut their teeth in the Ron Massey Cup, the Silktails are now tackling the Jersey Flegg competition as part of the Pacific Sports strategy.
While the ultimate goal is to field an NRL team in Fiji, that dream is still a Hail Mary pass away.
Despite some lackluster performances on the field, the Silktails' board, captained by former star forward Petero Civoniceva, remains steadfast in their commitment to the team's long-term success.
Duve steps up to the plate as the interim head coach, following the departure of Wes Naiqama midway through the 2024 season.
With a new coach at the helm, the Silktails are gearing up for a season of fierce competition and determined grit.
