A dozen clubs are expected to chase Penrith juggernaut Viliame Kikau after Sunday's grand final - but he is set to reject them all. In a shock decision leading into the biggest game of the year, Kikau has told mates he could never play against his beloved Panthers. That leaves Kikau with two choices - signing a new deal at Penrith or a switch to rugby union. The 15-a-side game is keen to sign the wide-running forward and could offer him the million dollar deal he craves. Penrith will do it tough to match that sort of money, but Kikau and his family are well settled in the area and he may take unders to stay. Kikau is off contract at the end of next season, meaning rival clubs can talk to him from November 1. However rugby union franchises don't have to obey that rule and can approach the big unit anytime. Kikau is the x-factor in Penrith's premiership challenge - if he fires on Sunday night then the Panthers will have one hand on the trophy.
