The Kaiviti Silktails to Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs pathway program has achieved another milestone, with recruit trio Alipate Qoro, Tevita Wanisi, and 2026 season captain Gabriel Rawamila departing Fijian shores to embark on the next step of their professional rugby league journey.
They head to Belmore to join team-mate Noah Rauluni, who is already in Australia, as the group officially links up with the Bulldogs system.
Upon arriving in Sydney, the incoming group joins former Silktails standouts Jerry Ramasima, Meli Wara, and Mika Senibua. Having previously transitioned through the Fijian pipeline, Ramasima, Wara, and Senibua earned contract extensions within Canterbury’s senior pathway structure, proving the effectiveness of the pipeline in developing NRL-ready talent.
This pathway highlights the core mission of the Kaiviti Silktails: creating clear, structured avenues for local Fijian talent to earn opportunities in Australia’s elite rugby league competitions.
Beyond on-field competition, the program supports young athletes with the preparation, professional environment, and international exposure needed to build long-term careers overseas.
