Half Cam Vazzoler converted and it was 6-nil.

A dangerous grubber kick by Brisbane was spilled by Eagles fullback George Campbell into the arms of Walker, who scored his second of the afternoon.

Vazzoler missed the conversion attempt, as the hosts led by 14.

That lead was stretched even further when Vazzoler reached out with his right arm, following handy lead-up play from Lleyton Hughes and Henry.

The half converted his own try and it was 20-nil after 26 minutes.

Just before the break, the Eagles got on the board, to carry some momentum in half-time.

Roberts failed to convert and it was 20-4 at half-time.

A more determined Eagles outfit started the second half, seeing them score first through dangerous fullback Jack Walsh, who created a try out of nothing.

Roberts added the extras and the hosts' lead was 10.

But the Gorillas withstood the onslaught and responded with a four-pointer of their own.

Dean Hodgson, in his first match as starting hooker, spotted a hole in the Eagles' defensive line and dived over from close range, to extend his side's lead.

The Eagles kept coming though and in the 72nd minute, added their fourth try of the afternoon through King, following sharp play by Rodney Coates and Roberts.

The latter failed to convert the try, essentially ending the Park's hopes of a grandstand finishing - with the match ending at 28-20.

In the Group Seven win, which moves the Gorillas to 3-3 on the season, Jake Goody, Hodgson, Walker and Tyler Atkins were phenomenal, while Roberts, Walsh, Scurr and Dallas Harrison did all they could for the Park.

Next up for the Gorillas is a trip to Rugby Park to face Nowra-Bomaderry on Sunday, while the Eagles will look to rebound against the Bulldogs at Centenary Field.
