hi ben welcome you need to meet our goose he will keep you on the strait and narrow good is the goose

2 top 8 teams for a start, I expect form to continue, 2 convincing 6 point losses.

I suspect we'll go into both games as slight underdogs, based on this year. We have a lot of new players, Catalans have a new coach, opening day of the season, it's hard to say.
Good chance they'll be close games, so hopefully we'll show more composure than at the back end of the 2012 season. I think (rightly, IMO), we've been understanding about that poor run of results, but if we start slowly I fear people will start saying '1 from 12' and so on.
I believe there is some optimism among fans (judging by the forums), I think it is justified, but I also think it is likely fragile. Looking at the opening 8 fixtures prior to the first derby, we need to be looking at winning 4 or 5, because Easter through April will be very tough, especially if we're down on confidence.

i predict it will be cold and LRR will be carrying on her shameless campaigning
