Quote ="XBrettKennyX"Do you really think so?
Imo it matters not one jot how we play in Feb, Mar or April. It's all about how the team is performing at the end of the season, especially now under the crazy new playoff system.
e.g. Imagine a team who gets off to a flyer, wins every single game, then chokes, loses their final 6 games, but still limps home in top position.
Compare this to a team that gets off to a nightmare start, loses every game, ends up bottom of the table but then finds its feet, wins the last 6 games of the season, and finishes in 8th place, fired up and ready to go.
Who would your money be on?
Of course these are extreme examples, but as ever, hyperbole is often the best way to illustrate a line of argument.'"
It does matter...and as profesional sportsmen to the players it WILL matter.... just look back to the season from hell, don't try to believe that a good start is not important. And don't get into the semantics about how we ended where we did, a good start would have made things very different. A good start and growing confidence will help us to win games in the backs. The pack is still weak as it stands, and good confident ball play will be the way we will HAVE to win games...
