Peta Hiku

[Frank]

He also mentioned Penrith have offered him around 1.3 million over 3 years. Take that and run champ!

That's ridiculous coin for him. If true good luck to him. For that kind of coin I'd be looking at Roberts.

Penrith need a centre to replace Whare when he comes back to Manly

I have to admit that I like Peta Hiku.

As an outside back he doesn't have the pace of a Snake or Turbo Tom, but we have all seen what he can do at fullback and we know that he is a much better centre than he is a winger.

Wherever he ends up I hope 2 things for him. That he goes well and that its not at Parra-doesn't-matta. If that means he becomes a Dragon or a Panther then so be it, though to be honest I wish that he stays at Manly. In a year or two we are probably going to be losing both Killer and Skivy to retirement and we'll need quality centres. Hiku fits that bill almost perfectly.

Hiku is a good player but he is not a perfect Killer or perfect Matai .
History of our club has proved we always replace class players with class players . Take confidence from our past and have faith in our future feathered friend 🙂

So Gutho will be returning in a year or two FFB (Feathered Friend Bozo)?

@PenrithPanthers look to have blown @NRL_Dragons & @TheParraEels out of the water in the race for Peta Hiku. Expecting a decision today.

Prefer him there than parra

 

[HoldenV8]

Hiku's a smart kid. Hopefully smart enough not to go to a career destroying club like Parra-doesn't-matta.

 

[double hoops]

Interesting. So Gus rates Hiku but Barrest and Bozo don't.

I wonder were Roberts will end up?

 

[KeithSheldon]

Panthers are probably my second favourite team so I would love Hiku heading over there, especially if it is over Parramatta.

 

[KaZa]

Not all that bothered losing Peta. Too slow at fullback or wing. Defence is questionable at centre. Good thing for him he is still young so up to him how much he can improve.

Roberts wants 300k per year.. rather Roberts IMO.

Manly regies are my second favorite team and I don't want him playing there.

 

[Disco]

I still feel this is a mistake

 

[HoldenV8]

Agreed, unless we actually do have plans in place to bring back someone like Dean Whare.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Would love Whare back at Manly. 10 times the centre Hiku would be

 

[swoop]

The more a club pays for Hiku the better for us, we might not have to pay as much of his contract.

His in demand so I don't think that will be an issue

I didn't think it would be an issue to keep him. Jeez he is a good back up in the 17 somewhere but I can understand if tb has told him he is free to go , well I'd look after myself also. Gonna miss that smile when you score for us peta but I'll hate it when it's reversed.

 

[Rodo]

So Hiku can go to the Eels to be with his old mates and carpool to and from training (and likely see his form head downhill). Or he can go to the Dragons and be the no. 1 fullback (his preferred position). Or he can go to the Panthers for the biggest paycheck and likely play centre (unlikely to get a look in at fullback unless Moylan is injured).

Mmm big decision for Hiku - mates, money or preferred position.

Not sure if this has been discussed. Wonder if Peta is still with his partner who is related to a footy club official. And if this is why he is not in the plans for 2016?

Not to put his personal business out there but they are still together.
