Over to Tonkar for his thoughts on the first half.
The boys really throwing the ball around .. Playing Fijian Rugby everyone wanting the ball.. City need to think about their game.. Cooper kicking to much.. The spirit all pulling their weight
Brisbanes best players are the 3 lads who played in Perth before joing Brisbane, Salesi Manu, Ngamanu and Alatimu, while their Wallabies Cooper, Douglass and Korczyk have been invisible.
Good half by the Spirit. Defence has been solid, attack has been deadly, not bad with the late changes and with the young fellas in the team.
Foote has a hard job on who he would sub at anytime .. All players got a red rag in front of them...
Set piece is strong scrum secure .. lineouts been strong..
Good running rugby.. Just got to keep starving the city of the ball in the second half..
Back out on to field City make a change frisby out this half
