It's fairly evident who had the better prep going into the first game last night, and losing Cronk early brought that to the fore. Fear not, it'll only force DCE to get up to speed with the rest of the spine, I'm fairly confident they'll gel pretty well by the next game.
Blues deserved to win last night. Somehow they've found the hunger 'n passion again which means we have a real competition on our hands for 2014 (even though the Blues have come close in recent years).
