After a commanding 62-0 victory against the Lami Steelers in the Vodafone Cup round 7 competition, Nadera Panthers head coach Vula Dakuitoga emphasized the team’s focus on improvement rather than their opponents. This significant win at Bidesi Park comes as a testament to the Panthers’ preparation and determination to restore their legacy as a dominant team in the league.
Coach Dakuitoga stated, “Our preparation and our focus for this year are not focused on any teams; we are just focusing on our target,” highlighting their commitment to enhancing their performance from last year. He noted that the team is concentrating on strengthening their defense and refining their attacking strategies to enhance their overall game.
The Nadera Panthers have shown remarkable progress in this year’s Vodafone Cup, already achieving a significant start with previous victories, including a 30-4 win against the Serua Dragons and a 28-14 victory over the Makoi Bulldogs. This upward trajectory is a clear reflection of the team’s resilience and hard work, which Dakuitoga aims to continue fostering.
Fans of the Panthers can remain hopeful as their team seeks to maintain this momentum in upcoming matches, aspiring to return to their former glory in the Fiji National Rugby League. The focus on steady improvement resonates well with the players and supporters alike, providing an optimistic outlook for the rest of the season.
