- Biography:
Growing up playing Rugby Union in his native Fiji, Kikau was scouted by North Queensland and made a name for himself by setting try-scoring records in the Cowboys NYC side. He subsequently signed with Panthers in 2016 and scored a try on NRL debut in Round Two of the 2017 season. He finished the year as a member of the club's premiership-winning ISP side, which went on to claim the State Championship title, while also making his mark for Fiji at the Rugby League World Cup. Kikau carried that form into 2018, established himself as a mainstay of the Panthers NRL side and re-signed with the club until the end of 2022. Kikau's form in 2020 and 2021 saw him rewarded with selection in the Dally M Team of the Year on both occasions.
