Kikau helps Bulldogs snare promising forward from Tigers
The Wests Tigers are privately fuming over losing one of their brightest young stars to the Bulldogs.
Kitione Kautoga, who made his one and only NRL appearance for the Tigers against the Dragons in round 24 last year, is on his way to Belmore.
The Fijian forward, who scored three tries in NSW Cup in the opening round, was brought to the Tigers by former general manager Adam Hartigan. Hartigan is now at the Bulldogs working with Phil Gould.
The pair organised for Kautoga to meet with coach Cameron Ciraldo and his idol Viliame Kikau. It was enough to get him over the line.

The Tigers requested a $160,000 transfer fee from the Bulldogs to release him this year, but that doesn’t look like happening.

The rumour he was joining the Dogs seems to have been going around the Tigpies forum for a little while now.

Persoanlly I would be throwing kitchen sink at Nelson Asofa-Solomona. That is grunt versus the squeel of Twal

The Tigers just keep losing their best prospects to other clubs. They're such a poorly run club and have been since the joint venture. If they ever managed to develop and keep their best young talent from Wests and Balmain, they'd eventually become competitive again.

That big at 6 months, hate to see him when he's 10 years old.

It means nothing, but if anyone is curious about his debut in Rd 24:
- Was on field for 4 minutes
- Received the ball twice
- 1x run for 7m (2m post contact)
- 1x handling error
- Made 1 tackle (100% tackle efficiency)

Probably not worth digging up the replay lol
