VODAFONE Fiji Bati captain Tui Kamikamica has emphasised the importance of team chemistry in helping younger players adjust to the international rugby league environment.
With several new faces in the squad, Kamikamica and the leadership group have been dedicated to building confidence and camaraderie.
His focus is ensuring that all players enjoy themselves during their time in camp, creating a positive and welcoming atmosphere for both older and younger players.
He believes that when players are happy and comfortable off the field, it translates into a stronger performance on the field.
“For me, the main focus is trying to make sure they enjoy themselves first in camp. We’ve got older players and young players in the group, but at the same time, they know how to play rugby league,” Kamikamica said.
“We want to make sure we make them enjoy leading to the game and training each day.”
Kamikamica added that the squad’s mix of experienced and emerging players has created a strong team culture both on and off the field, something that continues to define the Fiji Bati identity.
“At the same time, we want to make sure we enjoy each other’s company, because a mix of senior players and young boys, the more we can do that off field, it’s going to even make us stronger on the field.”
The unity and spirit of the squad were evident in their recent 44-24 victory over the Cook Islands in the first 2025 NRL Pacific Bowl Championship in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (PNG) last Saturday.
The Fiji Bati are on a bye week before their upcoming match against the PNG Kumuls next weekend.
