Vodafone Fiji Bati Player and Penrith Panthers forward Viliame Kikau scored a try for his side as they went down 18-22 to the Rabbitohs last night.

The Rabbitohs scored two early tries to take an early lead into the match.

The Panthers were led by a starring display from Viliame Kikau, but fell just short of securing a thrilling comeback win.

The Panthers fought back in the second spell scoring two tries, but it wasn’t enough to narrow the four point’s difference.

Penrith have been one of the competition’s big underperformers so far this season, and will need mass improvement if they are to start making a charge for the stop eight as we enter the second quarter of the season.
