I think that provided Killer and Skivy remain healthy (and suspension free), this year will probably be Peta's last year as a winger. If we don't pick up a couple of decent halves for next year I can see Killer in his last year being moved to 5/8 with Peta moving to the centres to allow either Gutho or Tom T to play on the wing.
In 8 games he has 2 tries, 1 try assist and 4 line breaks whilst averaging 15 hitups and 126m................in a losing team
I'd hardly say he is not getting involved enough

Hiku was awesome yesterday and was the sole reason I even bothered to watch the game.....! Great defence, special note to the mammoth tackle on Inglis it was gold and what a top pass to Vatuvei who scored after that.
Well done Hiku.....!! 🙂

Add to those stats about 5 missed tackles a game, and also lets in at least 2 tries...when playing on the wing. That's why he cops a bit of stick on here. Whenever he plays centre or fullback, he looks a different player.

Hiku is a gem!
He is actually averaging 1.8 missed tackles per game
I get you point and i agree, he is certainly a better centre and fullback then winger but would you prefer Williame or Blair on the wing?
He is the best winger we have atm
Speaking of wingers and replacements...does anyone have any idea when Tom T is due to return. He must of done a fair bit of damage to be out this long.

Cheers for that...I thought he'd be getting close but couldn't find a source.

Yeah be good to see him back in action again. Not sure if it will be first grade or 20's, guess it depends how big Jorge and Wolfe go.

Hiku is not a winger. He has played very well for us as both a fullback and centre. He had some ordinary moments while on the wing early in the year. I think if we moved Killer to wing he might look ordinary there too. When he doesn't play out of position he shows why he stars for the Number 1 country in the Rugby League world.
Hiku was very impressive yesterday but is it because he is in a Kiwi jumper, there has been a long line of Kiwis who grow an extra 10kg all of a sudden when they play in the Kiwi jumper and play average for their club. Even manly in the past have had these types in our team many years ago like the Iro brothers, Darrell Williams etc. Hopefully he can transfer this into some consistent club form.
