Not sure I agree with you. If you lose the first 3 games of the season, they won't define how the season will go. However, if we lose the next 3 they will be more defining as we probably won't make the top 3, and definitely not top.
So although every game is worth the same amount of points, when the game is played has to be taken into consideration.
6 points is a very solid return from those three away games.
