I feel like such a list should prompt some sort of conversation.

For me… I still like the idea of a Fijian NRL side. It’s the most prosperous nation of the smaller pacific isles and certainly produces the most talent and most of all, there would be far more likelihood of non Fijians moving to play there than non Papuans moving to Moresby.

Alas, I think there are other destinations a bigger priority than Fiji. Be great to see them in the NSW Cup soon.

[Gomersall]

There are 3 Fijians at Midlands Hurricanes. Please tell me Gordon Whippy owns an ice cream van. Is he justified and ancient?

Thanks for that, 4 Actually after doing some research. Fantastic stuff from Midlands to bring these players in.

[JohnM]

Is there anyone left on Fiji,?

As a Dons supporter I never knew Mafi is Fijian. Quite a way off 1st team though.

[Exiled Wiganer]

I have always found the World Cup scheduling slightly odd, as, aside from Rochdale’s brilliant Fiji links in 2013, we have never seemed to have got a grip on where they should play and how to promote them. Is that because there isn’t a Fiji equivalent of Samoa/Tonga in Auckland and West Sydney? 

[NRLandSL]

My best Fiji 17-

1.Jahream Bula  

2.Maika Sivo  

3.Waqa Blake  

4.Sunia Turuva  

5.Miakele Ravalawa  

6.Kevin Naiqama  

7.Brandon Wakeham  

8.Tui Kamikamica  

9.Apisai Korisau  

10.King Vuniyayawa  

11.Viliame Kikau  

12.Kitione Kautoga  

13.Taane Milne  

 

14.Kurt Donoghe

15.Ben Nakubuwai  

16.Gordon Whippy  

17.Caleb Navale

I am pretty sure Jordan Miller, top 30 West Tigers, is Fijian. He is currently playing NSW CUP for the Western Suburb Magpies. As well as Sam TUIVAITI who I believe is apart of the Eels Top 30 or development squad. , who was apart of the NSW Under 19's Series last year.

Shouldn't the aim be to get them playing in Fiji?
