Surely the scrum isn't the sole responsibility of the front row? Can someone explain to me the difference between the two props? I can't tell you how many times I got told on the weekend that mcgrath prefers loosehead. I don't really understand the difference. Wests definitely had a dominant...

I believe this is correct. As long as you start the game with contested scrums it doesn't impact the game. It's probably happened a few times but I know Gungahlin went uncontested against tuggies earlier in the year and it didn't mean gungahlin had to forfeit. I do have concerns about the depth...

g'day, Was able to get out to the games nice and early Saturday. Watched 4's all the way up. Lower grades as expected tuggies were pretty dominant against qbn in 4's. Same can be said for Gungahlin in 3's. Colts was a bloody good game of footy. Gungahlin just too strong in the end. For...

Hi All, I haven't been able to get down to a game for a while but was able to get down to VP for 1st grade. Daramalan were impressive. They dominated possession and territory the entire game. their number 7 (duffey?) was very impressive only on the scoresheet for one but came close another 3...

They're a good side. They've just had a couple of results go the wrong way. If Saturday is anything to go by they could definetly upset Vikings or royals come finals time. I was a little surprised to see him struggle he's played well in the games I've watched. He's still young, most of the...

G'day, I went out to QBN on the weekend and braved the cold. I have to start by saying it was a brilliant game of footy. I think I might have said this last year but that was the best game of rugby I've seen in a long time. Queanbeyan fought the good fight and starved Tuggeranong for...

Agree with all re Vikings vs Wests. Scrum was very inconsistent from the Vikings they had periods where the scrum was solid (even forcing a tight head) but then periods where it was very ordinary (losing a couple of feeds). It was a shame as the Vikings scrum was pretty solid last week. Right...

G'day All, I managed to get down to phillip to watch the game. I arrived about 25 mins into the 1st half t which point the score was 32 - 0. Unbelievable really! I can't comment on the first 25-30 minutes but if you'd just watched the 50 or so minutes I watched you would have said it was a very...

Hi all, Went out to watch the red men play on Saturday. I took the little one with me for her first taste of John I Dent. Unfortunately wasn't able to see any colts or 2nd Grade but based on the scores they went as expected. Easts we're not bad. Even though they went down by 50 they showed...

Thanks guys let's hope she's got a bit more talent than her old man! I constantly have this philosophical battle with myself. I firmly believe that a player shouldn't lose his position in a side due to an injury. It'd be like calling in sick to work on a Friday and finding out on Monday you...

G'day Fellas, apologies for my lack of contribution recently I've welcomed a new addition to the family and haven't been able to get down and watch any footy! I was able to get down and watch 1st and 2nd grade at Viking park. I'd be interested to know what the QBN guys thought of the...

Yeah I think that looks pretty accurate. There are a couple of colts graduating so we may see one or 2 of them get a crack Tittor probably being the most notable. There's also Trai Henderson and Len Ikitau (both colts aged) who may get opportunities throughout the year. Probably not as deep as...

If I had to pick today probably some combination of: 9. Henman/Bowden/Lonergan 10. Thompson 11. Knight 12. Robinson/Jackson-Hope 13. Suavai 14. Ravouvou/Robinson 15. Giltrap/Ravouvou I think there's probably a couple of spots up for grabs, especially if thompson is required long-term and...

Yes that's correct, not sure why he hung them up but I believe he's going to assist 1st grade as a coach. I think in Rakic case it was hard for him to crack the NRC side as a regular fixture. From what I understand he does have aspirations for higher honors. He played for randwick on the weekend...

I think things have changed a little since my comment. I think a lot of blokes toyed with retirement but have since changed their mind. It was my understanding that Sione was going to retire By the looks he's since changed his mind or I misunderstood. Phil Kite has been down to training but I...

All three are listed on the Vikings website as having represented the club. http://vikingsrugby.com.au/archievements/representatives-and-super-rugby-players/

Much movement between clubs this year? I heard rumblings that OJ Noa was considering a move? Can anyone confirm Eli Sinoti to Gungahlin? It doesn't appear that the Vikings have done any recruiting in the top grades just through colts. Notably Len Ikitau from Queensland and Luke Gesakowski...

Pretty Exciting! There's a lot of talent coming out of the JID Cup. It'll be good to see some of these guys getting an opportunity to train/play with the brums guys. Great for development and great for the comp. Should be a good day Sunday anyway!
