THE MAIKA SIVO STORY

The NRL share this heart-warming real-life story about Fijian Parramatta Eels rugby league player Maika Sivo and his father, Joeli.  It centres around the fact that Joeli Sivo has never seen his son play in the flesh.

Sivo senior has never left Fiji, nor does he own a passport.  Maika Sivo, who came from humble beginnings and only recently started playing rugby league for the first time four years ago, is now one of this season’s top try-scorers.
