The Rugby Factory Academy

𝗥𝘂𝗴𝗯𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 would like to extend our warmest congratulations to 𝗠𝗿. 𝗦𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝗩𝗮𝗿𝗼 on his successful appointment as a newly elected Board Member of the Fiji National Rugby League. 🏉🇫🇯

Your achievement is a proud milestone, especially as the youngest board member of FNRL. This reflects your dedication, passion, and commitment towards the growth and development of rugby league in Fiji.

Mr. Varo has been a strong supporter of Rugby Factory Academy and has played an instrumental role as a valuable resource person in helping the academy connect and work alongside other clubs for development pathways and opportunities. His continuous support towards grassroots development has always been evident through his actions and commitment to the sport.

We acknowledge your passion for developing young talents and communities through rugby league, and we are confident that your presence on the FNRL Board will help raise the bar for grassroots development in the years ahead.

Wishing you all the very best in this new journey and leadership role. The future of rugby league development looks bright with passionate young leaders like you involved at the top level.

Congratulations once again, Mr. Sivaniolo Varo. 👏🏽🏆

The Rugby Factory Academy continued its second development clinic session with the Burenitu Roosters at Naboutini Village, Serua — another positive step in building grassroots rugby league.

Academy Director Selo Sanawa highlighted the strong growth and rising interest within the club, noting the players’ commitment and eagerness to improve. He was especially impressed with the team’s current fitness and conditioning levels, showing that the foundation for development is already taking shape.

Today’s session focused heavily on the fundamentals — positioning drills, game situations, running lines, rucks, 10m drills, agility, and core rugby league basics. A key emphasis was placed on tightening the edges and strengthening the middle, reinforcing the importance of discipline and structure in the game.

Sanawa stressed that success in rugby league always comes back to mastering the basics — a message clearly embraced by the players.

It was encouraging to witness the progress within the club, especially as some players prepare to take up overseas contracts in Australia and employment opportunities. This reflects the hard work and vision of both the club committee and the players themselves.

The journey is just beginning, and the growth is evident.
