The Vodafone Fiji Residents side is focusing more on their development as they will be facing the NRL Affiliated States side next Tuesday and Friday.

Team Coach Josaia Rabele says the game will help in the development of rugby league in Fiji and the local players as they come closer towards the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.

Rabele says this game has allowed the players to blend well as they come from different teams and clubs.

The Fiji Resident side will play the NRL Affiliated States next Tuesday at 6pm at the ANZ Stadium.
