KIKAU kicking goals
By JOHN RYAN Photo by MEL POCKNALL PANTHERS’ giant Viliame Kikau showed his heart is as big as his fframe as he presented his ffooty boots to eight-yearo old Saxon Scott after Sund day’s first-ever NRL comp petition game in Dubbo. The Year 3 student at S South Dubbo Public said h he’s a die-hard supporteer of the Panthers and
was over the moon they’d chosen to play in his hometown. “I got this haircut for Kikau, because he’s my favourite player and I’m a Penrith fan,” Saxon told Dubbo Photo News. “He told me to come to the fence and meet him after the game.” The rest is history – the Panther’s hulking second-rower congratulated his Rabbitoh oppo-
nents after the game and then his first priority was taking off his huge football boots before walking over to the fence to find his number one fan and present his footy boots to him. “It’s really exciting,” Saxon said. Yes mate, and it’s a moment you’ll remember forever – there were lots of those moments in Dubbo last Sunday.
