One would often breathe a sigh of relief if you avoided a collision course with a 120 kilogram, 195 centimetre giant. But Canberra Raiders veteran Sia Soliola would rather take on a Penrith Panthers outfit boasting Viliame Kikau than one without him. Rest assured John Bateman would too. It sounds a little crazy, but Soliola wants to take on the best of the best if the Raiders are to be "fair dinkum" about making a statement in his 100th game for the club. And you can rest assured the rest of Canberra's pack would have preferred to take Kikau on - not least of which Bateman, who wound up with a fractured eye socket last time the two tangled.
