I was on the Gold Coast yesterday and Petero was making an appearance in a Telstra shop on behalf of the NRL in his ambassador role. I had a chat to him for about 15 mins, mainly about his involvement with the Fiji NSW Cup bid and the Redcliffe Dolphins.
On Fiji's NSW Cup Bid:
He said that they will be playing next year. The Australian Federal Government's financial support was the last piece of the financial puzzle. in his opinion it will be massive for RL in Fiji and for the pathways that the local players have.
On Redcliffe possibly entering the NRL:
He said that he is still involved with the Dolphins and could confirm nothing other than the club has the ambition to be in the NRL and that they certainly have the financial backing to pull it off.
Awesome news on FIji - look for it to be announced soon. With regards to Redcliffe, I'd imagine the financial clout will be very attractive to the NRL when the time comes to award the second NRL licence in Brisbane.
