I don't really get the MSM Sheep reference??!!
In terms of comparing to last year, it depends a fair bit on your perspective of how we performed last year given it was a season of 2 distinctive and opposing halves. Our first half of the year was good after a rocky start, and we won 6 in 7 weeks which is our best run of form for many many years. But in the back half we won 1 from 11 and were terrible in some of those games. We lost to the teams who came last and 2nd last over the last 3 rounds - a pretty good indication of where we are at IMO.
I tend to believe our most recent form is the most relevant to where we are at and what I base my judgement on. We essentially have no established forward-line or goal kicking power, and hence we will struggle to win games.
We have a bunch of talented youngsters, but history shows if you run out with a team half full [or more] of players in their first or 2nd years you are going to get pumped more often than not.
I pray I'm wrong, and that we take the Tigers by surprise on Thursday, but I think we are in for a long long year of pain.
