Isaac Thompson proved his worth to the side, kicking four conversions and scoring a try of his own.
The Vikings also showed how tight their defence could be, with the Eagles struggling to gain metres.
The Rams travel to Canberra searching for their first win of the season, and coming off a bye.
Following a one-point loss to the NSW Country Eagles in their first match, where they were held off scoring for 21 minutes, the Rams must be more clinical in attack.
The Rams will also be looking to tidy up their kicking game, with three missed conversions costing them an opening win.

The last time these two sides locked horns was August last year, where a late Vikings onslaught carried them to a 19-point win.
Prediction
Vikings by 17
Will the Vikings make it two on the trot, or can the Rams avenge last year’s defeat and get their first win of the 2015 NRC season? Join The Roar from 2pm (AEST) for live scores to find out.
