Converson unsuccessful. Perth lead at half time 18-13.

Good effort with little possession..Good scrums..defending well...wind behind their backs in 2nd half

[Kiap]

Break out try to Spirit..Koteka,,,Lowrens then onto Godwin..chipped ahead and Lacey overrrrr!!

Not a huge fan of Godwins grubber kicks but he seems to make them pay off.

I might have to change my view.
