Sam Giltrap had a great game at F/Back for Second grade Vikings this last week against Easts and then benched for first Grade and had a run with approx 15 mins to go. He's had a few injuries leading into this season. Nick Murray is out with concussion from trial game. Tittor was injured for a...

For someone who seemed to watch a lot of JID last year you don't appear to be overly observant with fielded teams. Vikings were missing quiet a few players in the trial game against Q'byn. Big Sione was missing, JJH, Oakman-Hunt twins, Jake Knight, Bowden, Callum Smith, Ben Hyne to name just a...

I agree that Vikings looked very tired today from the outset. After half time they appeared to have a little more zing, and to come back to within 1 point was pretty gritty. I don't thing that the Eagles necessarily played any better then usual..Vikings probably had their worst game of the...

There are player after player who have played 2 years of NRC or emerging into this comp in Australia that are crying out to be given an opportunity?? Why are we looking over seas. Isn't this what the NRC is supposed to be for everybody??? To build depth in Australian Rugby??? Because these...

Uni Norths first grade started out pretty strong and won a couple of penalties in the first half to be up 6-5 half way through the first half. Vikings started to then get their mojo on. Isaac Thompson with good ball from Joey Powell started to find defensive gaps and great offloads to his...

Im sorry but I can't see all the hype around OJ Noa…. What cause he's a big unit???? Where was he in the trial game against Vikings…who i might add didn't have there full side…colts players in back row as well as only 1 of the Oakman-Hunt bros playing who when you look at stats ran circles...

OJ is probably looking in good shape as he spend pre season with the Brumbies squad. The other loose forward your thinking of is Michael Wells. Under the new circumstances with Ita Vea's retirement I imagine Brumbies are not risking their loose forwards. JB injured, Pocock suspended, Vea...

I think that Gungahlin were a well improved side from last year and will definitely give some teams a good crack over the season. Having said that I feel the score was close due to the fact that Vikings had over half of their senior first grade squad away for a players wedding day… I think...

I hope Easts can give it a good go this year. Hopefully the Able bros can make a difference and will bring some physicality to the team. I think they will give a few teams a touch up this year.

Not saying that its not sad news we are losing such an incredible player for a year, but I don't see the point in not at least trying to develop further some of the boys they already have who have proven worth at 7. After all everyone was concerned when Cheika decided to use Pocock at 8 going...

I hear the FB is from QLD and has come down for colts. He was only filling in due to Isaac Thompson coming back from hami issue, Andrew Robinson covering for him at 10 while Ernest the usual FB covered Robbo who would usually run at 13. Ben Hynde? is in SA for Brumbies so young Callum Smith was...

I would rate JB over many of the players mentioned. He's already tried and tested as well. He's trained and played hard and earned his spot IMO. Brumbies have spent 3 good years developing him also. Wells has been contracted for 1 year but I think he's still struggling a little with getting his...

Ive heard today that Wests beat Royals in all grades with trial games?? Also Vikings beat Q'byn in Colts, 2's, 1's? Vikings 1's were missing a number of quality players due to rep commitments and injury. A number of new faces playing on both sides which is always good to see. After all thats...

The Australian Barbarians have had a win 38-32 full time. One yellow card to Cameron Orr just before half time for foul play. The kiwis made the most of us having a man down and we trailed coming into the second half 24-19. I hear we held them out for a good 10 mins in defence before the full...

Dean Oakman-Hunt NO.6 UC Vikings, has been coming off the bench for Jordan Smiler who is moving into the Row for Rory Arnold. Started at 6 for Round 4 against Rising in Perth. Had a good game
