Tia Roko has been announced as the newly appointed CEO for the Fiji NSW Cup Bid.
Bid Team Director Petero Civoniceva says that Roko has been chosen to ensure the franchise has a firmly established leadership and governance model in place.
Civoniceva says that he is proud to announce Roko who has Fijian background to be the first Fijian born woman to lead a rugby league club from the Pacific.
