Odds now (if the game was starting with these lineups) would be Vikings $1.78, Sharks $1.85. So, Vikings in the box seat, but Sharks not completely out of it. I'll keep Bakkum on for the first 10.
49:00 Lee Sweetman is tackled by Andrew James for the Vikings and a ruck forms. The ruck is contested and the Vikings players pile in. I think he got a little isolated there, and they've turned the ball over here. Bloody hell. James made a tackle, and it was an important one!
