As much as it pains me (and it does) to say it, who really cares if we make the playoffs or not?
The more important question in my mind is whether we can actually win any of our games in Australia, and whether we can do so with any conviction, because 6th is frankly as good as 8th or 9th given our unlikely chance of progressing further from that rank.
We've made the play-offs before, and that shouldn't be the goal any longer for this team. They are more than capable of finishing in the top 6. The question now is how far they can go in the play-offs, which essentially means they either have to get a top 4 position, or start to learn how to win at least some games on the road.
Kind of agree Ahmad, but 6th and making playoffs for 3rd year is a hell of a lot better than getting 8th or 9th, especially given pre season shennanigans. Even if we do get the arse in round 1.
I think making the 6 wiould be a fantastic result all things considered
