Would have fitted in well with us a few years ago but can’t help but think his days are numbered now.I wonder where this leaves someone like josh Jackson? I think he is a good player (not sure about the $ as with a new team in there will be some inflation on contracts for existing first graders) but is that the player they need?
Canterbury has basically rebuilt its roster and nabbed a host of big names on big salaries. Frankly I can't see how it will be under the salary cap this year, and certainly not in 2023.Wow massive overpay.
They’d have to be close to be over , at least in 2023 if not 2022.Canterbury has basically rebuilt its roster and nabbed a host of big names on big salaries. Frankly I can't see how it will be under the salary cap this year, and certainly not in 2023.
I liken what the Dogs' are doing to what the 'Fins have to do, so it will be interesting to compare the rosters of both club when the 2023 season starts. That will give us a good idea of how much Canterbury has rorted the system.
Apparently they booed him yesterday at their GF celebrations in Penrith.Very poor form indeed. I hope the fans give it to him next time he runs on..
Reported in the DT that Kikau was angry that the photo came out. Maybe he should have said "no, I am still a Panthers player" when they asked him to put the jersey on.
Viliame Kikau copped his share of boos at Penrith’s premiership party, but Ivan Cleary said the star backrower would be “mad” not to take the riches on offer from Canterbury.
Each Panther received a raucous reception from the 12,000 strong crowd at BlueBet Stadium, save Kikau, who copped a mixed bag from the Penrith faithful after a photo of him in a Bulldogs polo was leaked on Friday night.
Exactly, he could have posed for them in a doggies shirt after season 2022.Reported in the DT that Kikau was angry that the photo came out. Maybe he should have said "no, I am still a Panthers player" when they asked him to put the jersey on.
So the Tele claim he was angry, do they have an evidence of that or just a concocted story ?Reported in the DT that Kikau was angry that the photo came out. Maybe he should have said "no, I am still a Panthers player" when they asked him to put the jersey on.

Yep, and we all know how good Barrett is at getting the best out of those sort of players.He is good for a few devastating games a year, the rest he is lazy or uninterested
Pologate: Canterbury employee who leaked Viliame Kikau signing picture quits job.
The Canterbury League Club employee who leaked a photo of Penrith’s Viliame Kikau wearing a Bulldogs polo shirt has resigned.
News Corp can reveal the man is a high-ranking club executive earning an annual wage of around $200,000.
League Club management pinpointed a staff member early in their investigation with that employee being issued with a show-cause notice on Monday.
I don't think one edge backrower can save him if they flounder badly in 2022. I also think Gus is ruthless and will save himself and throw Barrett under the bus if need be. Outside of Kikau, all their big names will be there for next year (Addo-Carr, Pagai, Burton, Vaughan, Dufty, etc.).This is Gould playing a card... he wants to take the pressure off Barrett and if the dogs are struggling next year with the team he already has, Barrett will bring out the "we are building", Kikau will be here next year blah blah..
It also keeps their fans and sponsors happy and hoping for better results as they know better players will be joining the club.
All about feel good news to the fans but this doesnt change the fact Barrett can't coach, especially over a long season and we will see cracks appear.
