I chortled when seeing that

 

[Sheikheagle]

He is good for a few devastating games a year, the rest he is lazy or uninterested

One of the most overrated players in the comp.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Wow , $800k

Jeez he’s overpaid at that rate

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

We need to see the Dogs real salary cap book. NOW.

Penrith fans will have a sign “give back kikau’s jumper” this year, aimed at Kikau.

Because they haven’t had a better second rower.

 

[double hoops]

Thank **** we didn't sign that lazy ompalompa

 

[maxta]

Wow , $800k

Jeez he’s overpaid at that rate

Agreed - It's almost $200,000 a game, as he plays well 4 games and other times forget he is there

Gee that’s a bad look isn’t it , in a Bulldogs jersey 12 months before his current contract expires.

To be fair you could have stopped once you'd put "in a bulldogs jersey"

How the NRL let’s this farce of a rule continue is amazing. Only competition I know of that a player can sign a whole year before he moves to new team. All other sports don’t let their players sign until the off season before they actually move, why can’t the NRL?

 

[globaleagle]

Based on the fact the signing rule is currently in place (and there's bigger issues world wide tbh);

If Kikau was told the pic would be released at an appropriate time, maybe he should be a bit miffed.
Why did the dogs want to do a pic a year early? Was it because they put pen to paper so it felt like a bit of closure to get a pic, or was it to accidentally release the pic early?

Gus - if he instigated the early release than his calls for an investigation rings hollow. If he didn't, is his apology and outrage real? Why would he really care?

If the panthers are so outraged...why didn't they re-sign him?

Knowing that he's going to the dogs next year, how much harm is there in the pic anyway? what, none of us can imagine Kikau wearing a blue shirt?

And is this worse than the player who wore a penrith jersey after the gf when he's contracted to another team?

The shadow knows...(and probably cares more than me).

Another Dishlickers’ own goal. And a big cheerio to Trent and Gus, well done gentlemen.😉

 

[Darren]

THE NRL is mad for allowing this to happen. Taking photos. I'm sorry, absolutely no loyalty and if he was one of our boys then send him to Blacktown. This type of stuff kills the fabric of clubs trying to win comps. There is no way now he can give 100% to Panthers. His mind is now elsewhere and just filling it time. It's like a job you know you are leaving in a few months. Just a slow gradual switch off as you don't have a future there. Totally agree with him looking after his future but this way hurts the fans and the coaching staff.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Could also be a ruse by Gould to get him a year earlier

 

[wombatgc]

Cleary should play him at their feeder club, the Windsor Wolves. Just cause he can.

Has Baz broken the news to Kikau, aka Cadbury Top Deck, that he will have to bring his own outdoor furniture to training?

 

[Shoe1]

Cleary should make him wear Canterbury gear at training, and get the forwards to go extra hard in drills.

This is the mentality I remember from being in sporting teams as a teenager. Relentless violent bullying if anyone stepped out of line.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Seriously though I reckon this is a Gould play to see him move in 2022 not 2023.

Panthers will be livid at this and you can’t blame them.

Kikau and the Dogs have every right to do what is best for themselves

But How they went on about doing it was not very classy but Trashy

The moral of the story
There are no morals in the Bulldog Culture
And Kikau and the Dogs make a perfect fit
