    Tough draw

    Well, by the time they play at Subi, hopefully it will have cooled down a bit.

    I dont see away games first up as a bad thing. it means that the team can regroup and develop if they don't do well and on the other hand if they do manage a few wins will have a distinct advantage running up to the finals!

    Good point Zim. Always look on the bright side of life... *whistles*

    It is a really tough draw though... But I guess if we're serious about making the top 4 this year we need to beat anyone and everyone everywhere.

    Yes they did it on purpose Horrendous draw for the Force. A 50/50 result or better from the first six games could set them up, any worse and season over imho.
