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.

The Kaiviti Silktails have put any religious concerns behind them as they prepare to play Windsor Wolves in Round Four of the Ron Massey Cup, with the game being brought forward to Good Friday.
Originally the match was set down for Easter Saturday afternoon at the Windsor Sports Complex but with that ground still heavily water-logged from the recent wet weather, the game has now shifted tomorrow to Hammondville Oval in Moorebank.
Several players in the Silktails 28-man squad have a strong Christian faith, so playing football on one of the holiest days in the calendar might have been an issue but coach Wes Naiqama maintains his players are comfortable with it.
