As the PNG Hunters home in on a first Queensland Rugby League Cup Final, the official birth of a Fijian team to compete in the New South Wales Cup could be confirmed before the end of the month.

Petero Civoniceva is heading Fiji's bid, and he says final approval from the rugby league authorities is just weeks away.

And taking their inspiration from the success of the Hunters, the Brisbane Broncos great says everyone involved with the Fiji project can't wait to get started.
