I am aware that Tom has done his ankle. Out for the rest of the time he would have been available, which was only 4 wks until he had 7's commitments.

Tom Cusack turned but to training with team just yesterday from 7's commitments. Interesting to see who he'll replace if he gets a run?

Im not sure how many of you saw the interview with Jonah Lomu on the Rugby club on Thursday night? One big thing he spoke about was self belief! He expressed that for the first time he believed we had a team who "might" have the goods to give the AB's a descent tussle, but he felt that the...

I thought so. I saw another thread that said the score was 26-23?? thanks!

Where was Jarryd Butler today? He was missed at the breakdown!

I agree. Spirit came to play footie today and deserved the win by far. They were the better team today. I thought the Vikings set piece was good, and running mauls went well. We just didn't seem to capitalise. We were lacking in defence and at the breakdown. Well done Spirit!

I am aware that he has been working with the UC Vikings scrum. Boys says he's been great!

Is Dan McKellar staying on. Wasn't he defense coach? I hear that Ryan is as tough as Nails.

Apologies - score was 26-23.

Congrats to the Spirit. They really came to play footie. Vikings out classed at the breakdown. Spirit kept Vikings in their half well in the first half. Vikings set piece was better but we didn't capitalise. Staniforth, Fotu, Coleman were my picks for the Vikings. Lots of work to do before...

If you haven't heard Spirit won 28-23. 2 yellow cards awarded to spirit 1 yellow card to Vikings. Both teams have things to work on, but Spirit were definitely the better team today.

Congrats to the Perth Spirit team. I am a UC Vikings Supporter, but IMHO the Perth boys came over east to play footie. Our boys were poor in defence, and at the breakdown. Spirit played very well, and wonderful to see a lot of the young up and comers get a decent run. I think Perth will give a...

I think the choice of Jake Rakic has definitely raised some eye brows, but he as previously proven himself in NGS, Australian 7's, Youth games in 7's and trial games. When he had his first start in 1st Grade last season he scored a hat trick in his first game. No one got near him. He has been...

Im not saying I agree with how things are done either, but whether we like it or not times have changed, the game has become more professional and part of that process is about making gaines in the gym. Just because most boys have to do work in the gym doesn't mean that they have no heart. Thats...

Well as far as I am aware all these players trained together for a number of months. A cull of the team occurred back in approx June, then the remaining squad continued to train at the Gym as well as starting contact/ apposed training etc. They looked at overall performances, improvements in the...

Congrats to all grades Vikings today. They had a clean sweep with all grades through to the GF. Very convincing win in 3's and 1's. Should be a great day next Saturday for GF.

I am aware that the NRC coaches have given an opportunity to some up and coming players who are training in a Shadow squad. They will train until the end of the NRC comp, and I presume will get a call up if they get major injuries. I think this is great, as the youngsters will still continue to...

Anyone game to guess outcomes for this weekend. I know that Vikings have a number of injury issues but I think they'll get up in 1sts. I also think Vikings 3rds will have a win.

There could be young ones coming through from the U20's Oz side besides Staniforth. Powell and Perry??? (9&7) And also NRC guys I imagine?

I completely agree with you on this one. We have a lot of depth ATM with youngsters over the last few years who have made higher honours in OZ Schoolboys teams and U20's combined states or OZ 20's teams. These are the guys that the development coaches should be tracking and watching. They are...
