NRC Final - Western Force v Canberra Vikings - UWA Sports Park - Saturday, 26 Oct - Noon (WST)

[Bobby Sands]

Bo Abra was so lazy in that counter-rucking play by Fergus Lee Warner.

 

[molman]

Oh no... what a poor start Vikings.

 

[kiap]

Reward for Lee-Warner

 

[Shaker]

How not to tackle. Awful defence.

 

[molman]

Vikings looking a little cooked. Lots of hands on hips.. body language not great.

 

[Uh huh]

Dumb penalty from the Force there. If this was the world cup, we'd have watched 17 replays and he'd have been given a yellow card.

 

[molman]

Sheeesh.... poor backs.

 

[kiap]

Viking scrum is cactus

 

[molman]

Blake Enever still doesn't look right. Wonder how long before they sub him..

 

[Shaker]

Force comfortably. Reckon they win by 30 from here. How can the Vikings be so cooked coming out of halftime?

 

[Uh huh]

That's game over. The Vikings backs have run themselves ragged trying to cover up for the inadequacy of the forwards. Starting to make mistakes in defence and there's no way back now.

 

[molman]

I'm not sure.. but they just really look off today. As an aside where's Toni Pulu? injured?

 

[Uh huh]

Vikings need to swap out the front row. Lachlan Lonergan has been ceaselessly awful and now he's completely cooked.

 

[Uh huh]

Yep. Along with Swain, Valetini and McInerney.

They need to change something.. and quick, or this will be out of reach..

 

[Shaker]

Its disappointing because you really want a final to be a contest. The Vikings are a good team, but they look like they played a game last night as well.

 

[molman]

Yep. Along with Swain, Valetini and McInerney.

What you wouldn't give for some of those players about now...

 

[Dctarget]

Banks' has been awful. Two dreadful kicks which resulted in a try and held up in a tackle.

Why is powell on the bench?

 

[molman]

this is painful... Vikings better than this..

 

[molman]

I'd bring Powell on.. need to change this up...
