Someone please allay my fears all will be well, as if these signings do not come off we are up s$*^s creek
 
My Concerns primarily revolve around pre season warm up games
 
ie We play local sides (put together) whereas we already have Sydney & Adelaide competing in this Asian League (albeit almost completed) and then numerous sides playing in various other Asian Pre Season friendlies/comps
 
Gulp !!

The two games they have had so far have been against creditable opposition. I'm not sure who is playing in the rest of the games.
Game time was always going to be a factor when you win the spot four months out from the season and you have no team/club.
I guess all we can do is hope they gel quickly. They are definitely going to need right up till Aug 26th to get things sorted though.
Sounds like most teams have new personnel though, so that is too our advantage.

We are definitely well behind the pack in terms of preparation! That was always gonna be the case tho, certainly dosen't help having RH wearing the all whites hat as well... still not sold on the fact that he can give 100% to both jobs???

Let's see how the pre-season cup goes. If WP put up a strong effort there then there'll be nothing to worry about. A sh*te preformance, however...

Dont worry about it, wait till the season starts and we get the wins on the board.

My point was don't get too stressed about how they're not playing friendlies against top-class sides.

Really i wouldnt read into the results to much, i think its just more to get the team working in a game enviornment and gtet the crowd excited. Its working so far.
