  • Sunia Turuva: Turuva is a rising star in the NRL, and he is one of the most exciting young players in the world. He is a versatile player who can play at centre or wing, and he is known for his speed, skill, and athleticism.
  • Maika Sivo: Sivo is a powerful winger who is one of the best try-scorers in the NRL. He is also a strong defender, and he is a key part of the Fiji Bati team.
