A shoulder injury to fullback Ratu Jilivecevece has prompted Kaiviti Silktails coach Wes Naiqama to tinker with his attacking spine for the Round Five clash with Glebe Dirty Reds at Mascot Oval on Saturday.
Jilivecevece could be sidelined for a month after injuring his shoulder in the 30-26 loss to Windsor Wolves last weekend, which brings in 2021 season newcomer Ropate Tobe to the No.1 jersey while captain Penioni Tagituimua has shifted from hooker to halfback.
“Ratu’s been our fullback for both our games so far,” Naiqama said.
“He got the injury in the second half, so it was pretty courageous of him to continue on.
