Not sure, a lock I think.

RE the Qld Country locks, Dan Gorman was subbed on for Sam Fattal in the first half, Gorman was a late inclusion to the team due to an injury to Cam Bracewell.

Mitch King now subs on for Qld #8 Ben Adams

NSW scrum pushing out channel 2 ball while going backwards fast, yet they are getting it out.

NSW defence very good.

Now Qld scrum looks to have a few issues.

NSW holding on at 21 - 13, Qld have had the better of the half.

Tala Gray substituted not long ago. He had another very strong game with ball in hand.

Needs to get picked up by a Super team that isn't NSW in my opinion. He's far too talented to play 10 minutes in a Super season, but he doesn't fit the balance of the Tahs backrow. They already have an explosive wide forward runner in Hooper, and they need a lineout specialist at 6.

Reckon he could make some waves in Canberra or Brisbane.

Big let off for NSW, 5m scrum, NSW goes down under pressure, but Walsh lets them play on.

Qld replacement 20 goes off the back across field, gets isolated, NSW penalty.

Off the lineout they break through, Windsor cross kick to his winger, score.

That's the game. Windsor converts, 29 - 13.

Only a few minutes left.

NSW the better team, but gees Walsh let them off at scrum time. NSW definitely much better coached, and Tala Gray was a huge handful.

Qld subs: the big 17 year old blood nut Campbell Magnay at OC and Tonga Ma'af at HK.




13 - 29 now

Kellaway intercept, 70m run to score under the posts.

Will be 37 to 13, a few late tries blew out the score there.

Good win by the Eagles. The scoreline flattered them in the end. It was really hanging in the balance at 21-13 for a lot of the second half.

The last try secured a bonus point so that's 2 from 2 for the Eagles.

In any other season I think he'd have played a bunch of games for the Waratahs. He got injured in the trials and then Hoiles leapfrogged him and became an integral member of the matchday team.

Palu was also unbelievably healthy given the amount of rugby he has missed in most years.

I think we'll see more of Tala in 2015. He's a good player and an excellent ball runner.
