I'm all for getting the team to peak at the right time of the year, but it's difficult to see the benefit when we're serving up poor performance after poor performance.
But starting badly doesn't necessarily mean the season's a write-off. Saints traditionally (or in the past few seasons at least) start the season off badly and they seem to kick on after game 6-7.
