Rams v Vikings NRC Round 2: Thursday 28 August 2014

[blastblastbronco]

Any of you QLDers can tell us a bit about Henry Taefu?

 

[Brumby Jack]

This is groundhog day for the Vikings.

First up tackles missed and playing in their own half/22 and going nowhere.

 

[Omar Comin']

Jesse Mogg. Oh dear.

And what is it with teams from Canberra playing boring kick the ball away at every opportunity, cynical rugby?

For all the fears about the new point system it actually punishes cynical teams more. The Rams kept attacking and the Vikings got a very early yellow card as a result. Now they won't get away with much cynical stuff in defence. In a regular game it might take 60 minutes for that to happen as every penalty goal attempt brings the ball back to neutral territory.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Rinse and repeat for the poor bugger.

 

[Happy]

First penalty to the Vikings after 25 minutes. Then straight through untouched for the try.

 

[Omar Comin']

Very soft try for the Vikings to come back into it.

Crowd looks pretty disappointing btw. In the hundreds.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Can't hear @Pfitzy.

Are they filming from the stand with the majority of the people in it?

More spectator noise from Ballymore last week.

 

[Bairdy]

Lilo not playing his best.

I don't think there's anyone in the other stand (where the camera is). They'd usually just open one side.

 

[Happy]

WTF is all the penalties against the attacking scrum!

 

[Happy]

Pathetic attempted tackle by the Rams 8 on that try

 

[Happy]

Lilo has finally found his kicking form. Now he just needs to find his form in general play.

Moggs kicking

 

[Happy]

So he is. That explains it!

 

[Happy]

I have been quite impressed with Makin tonight and when he came on last week.

 

[Happy]

Seilala Lam has been quite good as well, apart from a couple of wayward throws.

 

[kiap]

Vikings starting to bust the Rams now and get on top.

 

[Braveheart81]

Not a whole lot of people out here. Crowd is quite enthusiastic though.

That would be @Pfitzy.

 

[Happy]

Vikings forwards starting to dominate.
