Nigel Ah Wong must have been close to Backs player.

Nigel Ah Wong must have been close to Backs player.

And surely Tim Cree for Forwards player?

Missed a few games though, and I have no problem with Smiler winning.

Are rumours correct, Lala Lam is off to the Auckland Blues???

Thankfully not another gold jersey........

The Vikings have been allocated red and white colours by the ARU for at least the first two seasons.

Surprised to read that Vikings were the only team to turn a profit.........

Weekend article Canberra Times/SMH that 35 train on squad chosen. Had 18 Tugg Vikings.
I was wondering if this 35 was without contracted Brumby players.

Rutikha Ilolahia. Is he the player described elsewhere as the new Fotu Auelua? Big call if so, but did look good against Easts a few weeks ago.

 

[Highlander35]

Obviously from what little I know, that's a decent squad, but christ, alphabetically by first name is the worst way to sort players.

Does anyone know more about Cuan Hablutzel - all I know South African hooker and fairly young.

Hi all,

last year GAGR covered the NRC better than any other media unit out there. We had the support of a great bunch of supporters who stuck their hand up and either wrote reviews or previews or took photos.

If you are keen to stick your hand up to help out this year, please send me a direct message and let me know (including team and which discipline).

We make it easy with you in terms of templates for match reviews and previews.

Media accreditation through the ARU will also be available.​
