It's a bit of a truism that a strong pre-season sets the foundation of a successful season.
It's also been well-documented that our pre-season hasn't been ideal.
We played all the way up to to October for the GF, then the majority of the squad played in the World Cup. Being Kiwis, most of them played the entire thing. Add into the mix that ridiculous 9s tournament, and then the World Club Challenge... that's a lot of footy.
Come round 1, it's pretty clear we're underdone. Behind the 8 ball.
How long will it take for the team to hit its straps?
And how big a set back is it?
