I too don't expect us to hit our straps till rounds 8-10 even later.
I know many expect us to dominate from round 1, and I hope that's the case, but realistically it's a long season and we have some new players with a new coaching staff so it will most probably take time to gel.
IMO the important part of the year is post Origin. That's the time teams should want to get a roll on and play their best footy hitting the semis flying, like we did in 02 and 10. Points gained early are important but being dominant IMO isn't. Showing the potential to dominate is though.
Look at the Wankos last year. Dominated till Origin, but hardly won a game post, and limped into the semis where they were gorne before they played. IMO it's too long a comp for especially a young new squad to dominate from start to finish.
