Eagles knock on after 2 phases, Spirit head 30 m up field
Another fumble and Eagles have the scrum on their defensive 22. Godwin holding his shoulder after Cowan and Ainsley smashed him in back to back tackles.
Spirit look to Peni's wing but gets put into touch. Another fumble by Spirit after the lineout. Play stuck inside the Eagles half.
A couple of scrum resets holding things up.
If you watching it on Fox .. Swain and Robinson are just so bias .. if you could not see the pictures you would think Eagles playing by themselves ..
Spirit turn it over late, knock on into touch and thats halftime. First scoreless first half in NRC history.
0-0
Yeah, i chuckled when they were trying to point out what a strong bench the Eagles have. 90% of that half was the Spirit inside the Eagles half on attack running into a strong breeze. Perths defense has been great, its just the handling that is costing us. I expect us to play territory off the wind in the second and use our defense to hunt for errors and points. Not sure what the Eagles can change as they played a lot of side to side, those tactics won't work into this wind. 40 mins of pick and drive maybe. I think Perths pressure will eventually win this game.
if we dont drop the ball!
Has Benny Mac come on yet?
Eagles score 1 minute into the 2nd half. Seb Wileman. Eagles score using Spirits tactics of ball in hand. 5-0 Eagles lead

Eagles starting the half well. Had all the ball so far.
