I think the general idea is that this Sunday is more important to them as a practice for Toulouse than a tourney they want to win. As they will have to play top Pro teams at a Millennium, they want to get used to it.
Personally, I think 2 or at a pinch 3 is the right place for them in this company - don't forget that half of the team used to play for Thunder until the end of last year, & they weren't exactly a cr@p team, and the rest all have good skills & experience.
