Vodafone Fiji Bati and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs forward Viliame Kikau is set to play his 150th NRL game when he lines up for his side against the Dragons in round 23 of the competition this weekend.

During an interview, Kikau says he is just blessed to be in the position that he is in right now.

The 29-year-old says leaving Fiji at a very young age to pursue a rugby league career in Australia, his dream was to even play 100 NRL games, but now he is lining up for his 150th match.

The former Marist Brothers High School student says he is grateful for this opportunity and he has a lot of people to thank but he is just excited to get out onto the field this weekend.

Kikau made his NRL debut for the Penrith Panthers in round 2 of the 2017 NRL season against the West Tigers and went on to play 123 games for them before switching to the Bulldogs last year.

Kikau and the Bulldogs will take on the Dragons at 9.35pm this Saturday.

In other games this week, the Titans will take on the Sharks at 8pm tomorrow, the Eels will play the Panthers at 10pm tomorrow, the Raiders will take on the Sea Eagles at 5pm Saturday, the Cowboys will battle the Broncos at 7.30pm Saturday, the Dolphins wills host the Warriors at 4pm Sunday and the Knights will take on the West Tigers at 6.05pm Sunday.
