FIJI second-rower Viliame Kikau was the star of Penrith Panthers’ win as he celebrated his 100th match with two tries against St George Illawarra at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in NSW on Friday night.

Kikau, who had family members fly over from Fiji to watch from the sideline, charged down a Ben Hunt kick and gathered up the ball before racing away to score in the 10th minute.

The former Marist Brothers High School student scored his second try in the 33rd minute to inflict further pain on a Dragons side struggling under the weight of errors and having to defend a man short.

Playing alongside Kikau was Fiji Bati dummy half Apisai Koroisau while Mikaele Ravalawa was on the wing for the Dragons.

In other National Rugby League matches, the Storm defeated the Rabbitohs 15-14 while the Roosters out-muscled the Sea Eagles 26-12.
