Titanic Stats: Kini runs his way into history

It would be impossible to do a stats series from the 2024 season, without looking at the incredible running game of Keano Kini.

The 20-year-old broke a host of club records during a breakout season that saw him claim the Paul Broughton Medal as the club's best.

He averaged a staggering 212 metres per game across the 16 games he played in 2024, finishing only behind Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards for most average metres of players that played more than one game.

Kini continued his form in his debut international appearance for the Kiwis, running a game high 254 metres against the Kangaroos.

A debut to remember: Kini

In round 24 against the Dragons, he broke the Titans run metres record for the second time in his career - this time notching 346 metres.

Round 24 highlights: Dragons v Titans

In the first touch of the game for the Titans, the Dragons learnt a early lesson how you kick chase against Keano Kini.

Don't leave space, or he will find it.

And just like that the Titans youngster was in the backfield to set up Jojo Fifita for the first try. 

From there, Kini ran, ran and ran some more.

Suprassing 150 metres inside the first 25 minutes, he then had his own club record (321 metres against the Wests Tigers in round 15 this year) in sight. 

And, with 12 minutes to go he went past that number, with the NRL record his next marker.

370 metres by Clint Gutherson (NRL record), proved a number just out of reach, but you would be brave to bet against him beating that in 2025.
