A regular member of the Suva side since 1999 (though he spent one year with Nadroga), Bill Gadolo gives plenty to the front row. A teacher at Suva Grammar School, Gadolo was member of the Fiji U21 team that beat Australia U19s in 1999. He made his Test debut in May 2000 against Japan.
Gadolo toured with the Fiji A team to Queensland in June 2002, then played against Tonga the following month when Isaia Rasila and Greg Smith were injured. He also captained the Suva provincial side to the semi-finals of the 2004 Telecom Fiji Cup.
Played in all of Fiji's matches in 2005, but missed out on selection a year later.
