But without wanting sound cynical, what did Pagan call pre-season?
In pre-season I can take things seriously that are indisputably objective, body composition changes, time trials, etc., etc..
Winning one on one contests against team mates isn't objective, it's dancing with your sister!
In Rnd 1, when players can hear the footsteps are coming, and the crowd gasps in dread, then I'll take note of competitive form.
Yes, there's an element of truth to that but, when impartial observers describe our training and match sims as "brutal", it may not be all that sisterly.
As I wrote above, we'll find out on Thursday morning against a pretty good forward line ... even if there are some blokes missing.
