Triffic'

 

Not happy with the start .

 

why I think it is ok and possibly could get off to a good start.

 

It's got a banana skin possible start .
If we play , like we have been in the past at the start , great teams and get points it's super but if we don't get points we can be confident we got big teams out of the way .
If we play lesser teams and lose from the start , we have little confidence after as the bigger teams show up .
Oh well , it is what it is .

 

We will always have to play them at some point it makes no difference when we will still be playing them, it is a banana skin if we play them anytime between august and may. But we could lose to the big teams and then still lose to the so called lesser teams, what you say is illogical, we have to play every one twice and it doesn't matter when we play them. we lost to most of the so called lesser teams last season despite playing well in our first game against a so called top team. Whats your point

 

We have had great luck playing top teams coming out of the gates before they get there feet wet .
On the other side , like you say , we could get a great start against lesser teams and build a bit of confidence .
It's true though , we got to play the big teams sometime .

 

Promoted teams are always dangerous at the start until they run out of confidence.

 

Tricky first couple of months.
