Viliame Kikau.

Posted by Coryn Hughes on November 19, 2017 at 5:39am

Ok 6'5 120 kg I'm not sure what his contract status with Penrith is but should we be looking at this guy to bolster the front row stocks.We are looking for that taller big body shape and we've added Kane Evans but having a good look at this guy last night he was punching holes and rolling guy's everytime he got the ball.I know he's been mentioned on here before but how would fans feel on here if we managed to add this unit to our foward pack.Theres a few I liked this off season Liu Takeiaho and Kikau anyone of those 3 added to the pack would be a nice addition for mine.

Him,Latu or Takeiaho would be great pick ups. If someone like Isaac Liu, apparently they are both on chump change at the Roosters.

would be on twice as much as anywhere else besides Brisbane.

Also once the Pearce soap opera is soughted I'm sure the 2 Rooster boyz mentioned are most probably off the table aswell.

Love the look of Kikau though he's a unit and is mobile for his size so I'm loving what I saw from him.

  Bugger.

I've been saying the same thing Coryn. He would be perfect for us and higher in the pecking order than he would be there as well.

  It's the first time I've seen him play.
  
  To be honest I was waiting for Fiji to isolate him on Martin but they didn't do it.
  
  Outside of his size I love his outside in line running and his late footwork at the line though I notice a lot of those Fijian fowards have that late footwork.
  
  3 guys to stop him most hit ups he impressed me a lot pity he's resigned with the Panthers as I guess he's off the table.

He really stood out in the grand final for panthers reserves as well. He is exactly what we lack in size shape and mobility.
A contract doesn't mean much if he is promised a better chance than he has at panthers and show him the money as well.

I really hope he is in our sights.

Saw him against my countrymen (Kumuls) in Fiji before the WC & he was menacing for a good part of the game.

We were linked to him and close to signing him but Penrith then forked out a ridiculous amount of money, yet he's unlikely to even feature in their team on a regular basis in 2018, so go figure.

  Hi Ricky, any idea how much? Glad to hear we were interested, reckon he is gonna be one of the best. Perfect for us and would excel under BA?
  If we offered him a first grade spot off the bench straight up wouldnt that help a release? Contract mean zilch as we keep finding out these days.
