Don't care. It's 2 points in the big, for an away game in which I budgeted for a loss. You'll take them anyhow you can get them.
Both teams are the goods this year. It's a three horse race and I'm prepared to call it even though it's early May.
Definitely. All that matters in the end is the 2 points. It's a gamble that Griffin has taken as surely deep down he must have known we had a low probability of winning the game without our stars.
I meant it as a compliment to you guys that with Slater/Smith/Cronk it is virtual full strength (although I think Blair is pretty important as well now to have around). As obviously Bellamy has a system in place (developed over many years) where the change of players outside the spine is almost seemless. Just getting guys to do their job. I think Griffin is trying to work towards the same structure. Earlier in the season he dropped Tronc/McGuire when they seemed to me to be in good form. But the guys that were brought in did their job. Also last season if we had Hoffman/Gillette/Teo out you would definitely know about it. But Griffin is getting guys to cover really well.
I think if Duffie/Champion played but Cronk didn't, I think the Broncos may have gotten away with the win.
My gut feeling is though at the moment both teams at their best, the Storm have the edge. Although you get the feeling that the Broncos are really building towards something this season. I hope so anyway.
Well done Storm. You should be extremely proud of how you guys are still having lots of success given what has happened.
