Momi flyer Maika Sivo and Waqa Blake are set to ignite their Fijian flair again this year after being named in the Parramatta Eels bid of winning the 2022 Telstra Premiership season title, NRL.com reported.
The Fiji Bati duo were instrumental in the past seasons for the Eels.
However, Sivo, who is currently injured with an ACL injury will be out at the start of the season with Bailey Simonsson, Haze Dunster, Sean Russell and fellow Fijian Solomone Naiduki expected to temporarily plug the gap.
The upcoming Naiduki from Matacula Village in Tailevu, joined the Eels after a small stint with the Canberra Raiders in 2018.
With Sivo’s injury, the former Ratu Kadavulevu School winger may hit the spotlight soon.
Possible best 17: 1. Clint Gutherson, 2. Maika Sivo, 3. Will Penisini, 4. Waqa Blake, 5. Bailey Simonsson, 6. Dylan Brown, 7. Mitch Moses, 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard, 9. Reed Mahoney, 10. Junior Paulo, 11. Isaiah Papali’i, 12. Ryan Matterson, 13. Nathan Brown, 14. Marata Niukore, 15. Shaun Lane, 16. Oregon Kaufusi, 17. Ray Stone/Bryce Cartwright
