I think a narrow loss is the likely outcome, If we play well maybe a draw but I doubt it. I think we will have to wait until the CCM game for a win.
Actually if you want any team for the Nix, its the Jets. We have the best win % against them, plus our win % at Westpac (43.57%) is only slightly better than playing Jets at their home (41.18%) but our best team to play away.
Actually I do not think stats from previous seasons are any better than tea leaves when it comes to predicting who we should / could / beat this season. It is such a different team we're fielding now that it has to be judged on its own merit, not on the merits of our past teams who regularly beat the Jets or whoever.
At the moment, we are likely to come up with a narrow loss or a low-scoring draw against probably every other team especially if they have the same coach and stable team, with a core of experienced, effective players. Improvement to those those "winning" odds will only come once Talay has a chance to work further with the squad of newbies that we now have.
There were some bright moments in (probably) every game we've played this season, but it has been nowhere near enough so far.
