Kaiviti Silktails’ fullback Mikaele Senibua remains undeterred by the team’s challenging start to the Jersey Flegg Cup season, insisting that their quest for a first-ever victory is still alive and well. After two opening losses—26-6 to the Parramatta Eels and 40-22 to the Canberra Raiders—Senibua is determined to refocus and learn from the setbacks.
“I have high hopes for the boys to win a game this season because I know we have been through a lot during the pre-season and off-season,” he stated, expressing his confidence in the team’s resilience. The squad has been experimenting with new strategies during training that they hope will significantly impact their performance.
The Silktails are still seeking their first win since beginning their journey last season, but they draw a sense of hope and motivation from their experiences and the lessons learned in recent matches. This season presents a critical opportunity for the Silktails, featuring a young team that is gaining invaluable competitive experience within the league.
Their next match is against the St George Illawarra Dragons, scheduled for Round 3 at Churchill Park in Lautoka, where fans can catch the live action on FBC 2 at 12 pm. With the community’s support, the Kaiviti Silktails are optimistic that turning the tide is just around the corner.
This situation mirrors previous sentiments expressed by coach Timoce Duve, who highlighted the importance of persistence and a positive mindset, reflecting the evolving dynamics in Fijian rugby and showcasing the team’s ambitions for growth in the competition. The defiant spirit within the Kaiviti Silktails is a testament to their commitment to improving and overcoming obstacles on their path to success.
