Kaiviti Silktails coach Timoci Duve is prioritizing recovery as the team prepares for a challenging series of away games following their recent 28-18 loss to the NZ Warriors at Churchill Park in Lautoka. The loss, particularly frustrating for Duve, was attributed to a loss of momentum in the second half, which the Warriors capitalized on effectively.
“It’s back to the drawing board for us,” Duve stated, emphasizing the need to focus on recovery and revisit the fundamentals. The team’s immediate goal is to regroup as they prepare to face the Bulldogs next week in Belmore, a task made more critical given their upcoming five-week stint away from home.
Despite the setback, the Silktails have managed to hold their position in 8th place on the ladder, a spot they are keen to maintain in order to qualify for the quarterfinals. “We need to ensure our recovery is prioritized right now,” Duve added, pointing to their hectic schedule ahead.
The Silktails’ previous performance saw them demonstrating strong potential, but their challenge will be to sustain this while learning from the fluctuating dynamics of their recent games. Fans can look forward to their next match against the Bulldogs, which will be broadcast live on FBC.
In light of previous efforts shared by team members, there is a sense of optimism surrounding the Silktails. Acknowledging their growth and experience, players have maintained a positive outlook as they aim to turn the tide on their season’s fortunes. The support of the community will be vital as they strive to bounce back in their subsequent games.
This journey highlights the resilience and commitment of the Kaiviti Silktails as they develop as a team in the competitive landscape of rugby. The future remains hopeful, with the possibilities of success spurred by growth and community support.
