Hard-Hitting Lam Takes a Shot at NRC with Canberra Vikings
by Brendan Bradford –
Everyone in the Shute Shield knows. There’d be few at the Waratahs and another couple at the Brumbies who are aware too. But word is only just starting to leak through the NRC ranks. It’s not a difficult message, but true comprehension of it can only be gained through experience.
Don’t run at Seilala Lam. Pretty simple.
A few of his nicknames – ‘The Violence’ or ‘Shoulder of Death’ – should give it away. Or, if that’s not intimidating enough, check him out taking down Rams lock Jared Barry at Parramatta Stadium on Thursday night. Barry, the six-foot plus running machine and Rugby News Team of the Year second-rower, found himself on the wrong side of a couple of monstrous tackles as Lam’s Canberra Vikings ran out 37-18 winners over the Rams in the second round of NRC matches.
