Yes, I agree, the league is very competitive. If the better side doesn't turn up then they stand a solid chance of losing, but all things being equal the better side will usually win. Pulling a few, unrelated results out of a mass of fixtures doesn't really show anything more than that.

Unrelated? The OP said you had no common sense & lack a brain if you expect Bulls to beat those teams. I showed that, on paper, a poorer team did just that.

but then they got smashed by 80 against the dog-lovers.


anyone can beat anyone by the looks of it so far this year.
should be a great season

They may have done, but the point was not whether they did or could, it was whether they were expected to. Foinavon won the National, but not many expected it would.

Thanks for your contribution. Actually the OP said 'if anyone thinks we could'. I think you could, as do you. I wouldn't be surprised if you even put money on it.
