He has never lived without his parents for more than a week but 18-year-old Filimoni Paul will spend 8 months in Australia playing for Kaiviti Silktails in the Ron Massey Cup to chase his dream to play in the NRL.
Paul who is from Naroro Village in Sigatoka started playing rugby league last year and intends to follow in the footsteps of Fiji Bati star, Viliame Kikau.

Potholes in Naroro Village in Sigatoka have become a “nuisance” for carrier drivers. Resident Gurmeet Singh had to fork out extra money from his daily income to repair his damaged tyres.
He said some roads up the Valley Rd were causing a lot of maintenance work for their vehicles.
“One of the tyres got damaged and I had to buy a new one which has cost me $100,” he said. He claimed that every time the road was graded, the drains were always left unattended, which created a lot of potholes on the road.
