Will Kikau take a hit up in his own half? And other grand final questions..

[Bring back John Fifita]

This rule was brought in for Billy Slater style kicks at the ball which risk injury.

My memory is Matthew Ridge was one of the first players to execute this, which was hotly debated at the time. Can't remember when using the foot/leg at the ball carried by the attacker became a "rule" etc. I thought it was long before slater was on the scene but could be wrong.

Kikau looked the most likely to win the game for Penrith. Unfortunately, he ended up the most likely to lose the game for Penrith.

Yep he was the danger man for me, Storm struggle with offloads, he could have torn them apart. Instead he tore the panthers fans hearts apart. Hopefully he comes back better and not broken.

It was, Ridge was a master of it, but in true Storm bashing fashion it was all the Storms fault and why the rule had to change lol

Yeah, he has that excellent balance of power and offloading. Unfortunately, he couldn't catch a thing on grand final night.

Didn't Ridge kick one out super cleanly and everyone was raving about it? Then the next time he tried it he kicked someone in the head.
