The FRU office bearers and accountants have failed on their part in meeting agreements and making due payments; they have taken advantage of the Fijian politeness, loyalty and patriotism. A big salute to these courageous gentlemen who stood up on behalf of their comrades.
So fkn sad to hear this. No wonder why. You guys have to get paid by the right amount. Me laucaqe laivi okoya e cicivaka tiko. E levu era via taura tiko nai tutu cecere mera mai butako kina me rawa kina na bula ni nodra matavuvale. No wonder why Simon left. Get Simon bk and pay him what he owns. Who wants to work without paying???. Fk that. This boys needs bk pay.
Goes to show that the players bravely speaking out aren't afraid of meaningless repercussions from FRU like they did Serevi years ago right when the 7s was thriving under his tenure.
Thank you for sharing your story team .. Wow ! this is an utterly disgraceful , disrespectful and disgusting behaviour from the FRU !! Corruption to the core … This needs to be investigated thoroughly and each individual who is responsible should be held accountable ..
This is a great move from these MEN who represent FIJI, to speak UP against this INJUSTICE....for we are GOD's people, and HE wants us to be BOLD and SPEAK out the TRUTH, just as our Forefathers, who wrote the BIBLE, did. Well done MEN, Well done !!!!! For the Son of Man, who has returned like a thief, is now in your midst...and he is one of you "For the RIGHTEOUS are BOLD as a LION"
Time to break the old habit which I hear was a common trend for years, especially when underperforming Flying Fijians or national teams in general is a reflection of how pathetic FRU board has been by not paying the players in full regardless of their own club wages local (Drua) and overseas. They're not called Fakol Rugby Union for nothing, especially when Peter Lazy or whatever his name is isn't doing anything to address the issue which they're too slow to react to. Good on the players for calling them out, especially IF they're even somehow banned from Flying Fijians duties by FRU which is minor now that the cat is out of the bag on false payment promises like the players' welfare means nothing to them.
Good the Rugby House is exposed. All the while some of us were praying their heart out for fiji to bring home the glory in 2023 RWC. Fiji nearly beat England in the quarters but bcoz of the real internal problems the Boyz let go never mind the glory. It's good for the rugby loving people to have first hand news from the players themselves. It is a real problem nearly in every sports in fiji. I have left watching soccer sevens n maybe stop watching 15s too. It's waste of time bcoz of dishonest n scrupulous officials.❤

the main issue: FIJI RUGBY UNION IS NOT FULFILLING ITS ROLE N PROMISES TO FAIRLY PAY FIJI REPS TO THE LAST WC N these 3 senior players, are highlighting the issue faced during the team preparation to the WC AND WHY the Fiji team loses , cause players welfare not looked after well.
This is bullshit. Fiji rugby is a brand. It markets itself so that its product, the players, could get recognition and be attractive to the professional clubs. It's only a stepping stone to you becoming a successful professional player. Adds more value to you. To say that they owe you a fortune is greed. The flying fijian jersey should be worn with pride. The pay may be delayed, but you all got paid. They saying that this has been happening in the past. But why are still then raising your hands to wear the jersey? If you think that Fiji rugby is not paying well, then stay with your club. Every time you perform in the white jersey, your values go up with your club. Be grateful. And this host is sounding like a know it all.
Your comment is a gross oversimplification of the complex issues facing professional rugby players in Fiji. While it's true that Fiji rugby is a brand, it's also a source of national pride and a pathway for many talented players to achieve their dreams. To suggest that players should be grateful for the opportunity to wear the Flying Fijian jersey is disrespectful and ignores the sacrifices they make. Many of these players come from disadvantaged backgrounds and rely on rugby for their livelihood. When they're not paid on time or receive inadequate compensation, it's a serious issue that can't be dismissed as greed. It's also important to remember that professional rugby is a business. Players have the right to negotiate fair contracts and expect to be treated with respect. If a player feels that their contributions aren't being valued, they should be free to explore other opportunities. As someone who does play professionally, I understand the sacrifices that athletes from back home and around the Pacific Islands have to make. It's disheartening to see people who have never experienced the challenges of professional sports dismiss the concerns of those who are trying to make a living. Your comment is uninformed and disrespectful, and it does a disservice to the hardworking players who represent Fiji first as their Nation and not the FRU.
@Vili1005 they've been picked for the Northern Tour. Let's see if their really standing for something. If they are, they will negotiate with FRU now and say, we’re not taking the offer unless you meet our demand. All they need to do now is read the contract, say I'm not happy with this, and I'm not going. Or, yes this is written in the contract, if they fail to meet this. I will take legal action, meawhile, ill go on tour because i am proud to represent my nation. At the end of the day, in the real professional world, it is what is written in the contract, not what someone said at the meeting or what someone was overheard saying during the gunu ti.
Master Lesi thank you so

That is great revealing this issue . Please name the officials who are responsible for this. Can't they sue the FRU ?

@@fahipapa whatever you say! This is a free world.....may be learn the language if you are so concerned.
@fahipapa...Who the heck are you when this forum is for us Fijian rugby players and the Fijian Public? Typical Keyboard warrior.
