It's just what the other trans-Tasman league teams didn't want to hear.
Noeline Taurua, coach of defending champions the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic, believes her side are better placed at this stage of the pre-season than they have been in previous years.
If, after this year's monumental championship-winning effort, the Magic weren't already considered the team to beat for 2013, Taurua has pumped up their tyres by being "delighted" about where they are at in their preparation, knowing that there is still plenty to be improved.
"We definitely want to start better than we did last year," she said.
"I think every year you learn new things, and there's always a willingness to see how you can be better the year after."
The Magic started pre-season training in November - a couple of weeks earlier than previously so they can put more work into building a fitness base and getting their systems up and running prior to the New Year.
All of the Silver Ferns players are on a compulsory break and don't come back until January 7, with that group doing their own fitness work.
Australian import Khao Watts comes back to the country on January 4 and new recruits Jamie-Lee Price and Nadia Loveday have been managed amid their school commitments, having completed year 12 and 13 respectively at Mt Albert Grammar School.
The squad, which has also undertaken mental skills sessions, have this month had two fitness sessions a week and five-hour skill sessions on Saturdays.
"The girls are working really hard as individuals and we are quite clear about the targets that we're going to be setting for ourselves and being able to live up to the standards next year," Taurua said.
"When I reflect on where we are at this particular moment in comparison to previous years, we're way ahead of ourselves, so I'm really happy."
The Magic's first game of the season is on March 24 against the Canterbury Tactix in Nelson.
Last season Mt Maunganui hosted a pre-season tournament for all 10 teams but that concept has been scrapped, with teams to organise their own plans this time.
Taurua was disappointed they wouldn't get to view all the teams under one roof, and said that left a gap in their preparation in terms of practising against the Australian style of play.
Because of that the Magic are looking to play the Australian Institute of Sport team, in possibly more than one game on February 24 in New Plymouth - the day after the Magic face the Central Pulse at the same venue.
Prior to that the Magic will play the Northern Mystics in Auckland on February 20, and are set to round out their preparation with a yet to be confirmed match on the weekend of March 2-3.
There are going to be invitational pre-season tournaments in Queenstown and Sydney, though the former one is the weekend the Magic are in New Plymouth, with Taurua still unsure of when the Sydney one was.
The pre-season fixtures are relatively early compared to when the competition starts, but Taurua said they have structured their programme to give themselves six weeks prior to playing any games, then another two-week block to "make sure we're on the right path" before the championship proper.

Oh please God, not another blessed vision
Stay away! Comedian Tim Vine wrote a song about the everyday things that ring 'alarm bells' for him
The other day, I dropped into a perfectly ordinary Italian restaurant for lunch, and was just looking through the slightly dreary selection of main courses — spaghetti bolognese, and so on — when the waiter came up.
'If you have a few minutes, I will explain our concept,' he said.
Alarm Bells! as that wonderful comedian Tim Vine would say. Whenever I hear the words 'concept' or — worse — 'vision', those alarm bells ring loud and I immediately look for the nearest exit.
'Don't worry,' I said, perhaps a little curtly, 'I think we'll just order.' But I was too late: before I managed to finish the sentence, he had embarked upon a lengthy disquisition about the restaurant's 'concept', which, through the fog of PR jargon, really boiled down to nothing new or unexpected at all, ie: serving customers food on plates, then clearing the plates away and bringing the bill.
But these days, no one can tie their laces or boil an egg without first proclaiming their 'vision' or 'concept'. This means that even the most everyday little restaurant must trumpet its concept.
'OUR CONCEPT', proclaims the website for Indian Express in Preston.
Underneath, they reveal what the concept is: 'Indian Express is an Indian takeaway home delivery service that is licensed to sell alcohol.'
More from Craig Brown for the Daily Mail...

Furthermore, 'Not only are we the only takeaway in Preston that is licensed to deliver alcohol but we don't charge the earth for the privilege either.'
Further north, The View restaurant in Fife also offers 'OUR CONCEPT', which, it emerges, is this: 'People often struggle to decide what to have when they go out for a meal and then end up wanting what the person next to them has ordered. The View's menu concept allows you to choose several different dishes — individually or share them if you prefer.'
It can't be long before cutlery manufacturers will boast: 'Our concept is to provide knives, forks and spoons to help you transport your food from your plate into your mouth.' But the need to boast of a concept extends way beyond the world of eating and drinking.
'Spa Essentials is a one-stop shop concept for all the finishing touches to perfect your spa or salon,' reads one website.
'Our Concept: at CCTV-Global our vision is to create an affordable and reliable solution for your CCTV security needs,' reads another.
'Vision' is, of course, even more unavoidable than 'concept'. I was brought up a Catholic, so I tend to associate the word 'vision' with the Virgin Mary appearing before Saint Bernardette at Lourdes. But nowadays a vision is more often applied to perishable goods or household items or sales targets.
'Our vision is for Tesco to be most highly valued by the customers we serve, the communities in which we operate . . .' reads the PR guff on the Tesco website, 'to be a growth company; a modern and innovative company and winning locally, applying our skills globally.'
Unsurprisingly, Richard Branson has had a vision, too. Below the words 'Our Vision' on the Virgin website, we learn that: 'We have always succeeded in business by offering consumers another way, a better way and being willing to fight their corner . . . One thing has remained true; our belief in the power of entrepreneurship and innovation to help us rise to the new challenges that we all face.'
'Our Vision': Branson's Virgin Group has a 'belief in the power of entrepreneurship and innovation to help us rise to the new challenges that we all face.'
As with most PR drivel, these 'visions' are simply a very long-winded way of saying nothing at all. Translated from gobbledegook, it emerges that train companies have visions of rail passengers getting to their destinations on time, and umbrella manufacturers have visions of customers staying comparatively dry by holding their product over their heads.
We all face this daily tsunami of gibberish, awash with concepts and visions. Even the most stolid organisations cannot help being swept away by it. The Jockey Club, for instance, highlights 'Our Vision & Mission', and National Express announces that 'our vision is to earn the lifetime loyalty of our customers by . . .' blah, blah, blah.
'Policing for You' is the slogan of Nottinghamshire Police Force, which announces 'Our Vision', in lines cut up to resemble poetry, and printed in four different colours:
Policing for you by working in partnership to protect and reassure through a visible and accessible service that is flexible and responsive to community and individual needs.
Incidentally, it may be worth noting that George Entwistle's last-but-one job was 'Director of BBC Vision'. And look where it got him.

Young Adult Romance
Alec and Sabrina are crazy in love. Problem is: Sabrina's really crazy.
Sabrina, an artist, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, and her parents check her into the Wellness Center. There she meets Alec, who is convinced it's the world that's crazy, not the two of them. They are meant to be together; they are special. But when Alec starts to convince Sabrina that her treatment will wipe out everything that makes her creative, she worries that she'll lose hold of her dreams and herself. Should she listen to her doctor? her decision may have fatal consequences.
Brian James calls Life is But a Dream "the most intense book I've written. Bringing this unique character to life and seeing the world through her eyes, with all its beauty and confusion, was an immense challenge that I hope is just as rewarding to read as it was to write." Intense--yes. Unforgettable--definitely.

Obituary: Giorgio Strehler
Little it was indeed, the Piccolo Teatro in the Via Rovello in Milan. It had only 500 seats and a stage of very modest dimensions. The great theatre director Giorgio Strehler had founded it in 1947, with the help of the publisher Paolo Grassi, transforming an old fleapit of a cinema, where the fascist military police had tortured their victims during the war, into the leading theatre of Europe, and indeed of the world.
How on earth did Strehler do it? The secret is that he was a European through and through. He was one of those lucky mortals to be born into a multilingual family: his father was Austrian, his mother Italian, his grandparents Slav, Viennese and French. They conversed in four languages.
Moreover, he was a child of Trieste, and the Triestine dialect, beloved of the novelist Italo Svevo and the poet/bookseller Umberto Saba, was his fifth language. "Dialect is fundamental," he was to declare, "in the Europe of today. European Union does not mean the extermination but the exaltation of particularities, in language and in custom as well as in cheese and wine. Standardisation by the gentlemen of Strasbourg will be the death of life." He always expressed his ideas with typical Triestine dramatic volubility.
Giorgio Strehler studied dramatic art at the Accademia dei Filodrammatici in Milan and the Geneva Conservatory. He graduated in 1940, and at once started an acting and directing career in various travelling companies like the Gruppo Palcoscenico with which he produced works by Pirandello. A committed socialist, he was active in the Italian Resistance before going into exile in Switzerland.
From as early as 1942 he had begun publishing polemical writings that had made him a target for Mussolini's secret police. He wrote about "the responsibilities of the stage director" and the dramatic sterility of state-run theatre.
In Geneva, he produced his own company, La Compagnie des Masques, in Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral (1944). In his book "A Theatre for Life" (Per un teatro umano, 1947) he calls this his "first real stage production". He followed it in 1945 with Camus' Caligula.
Back in Milan in 1947 he founded the Piccolo Teatro, the first teatro stabile a gestione pubblica in Italy. From that date until 1955, Strehler gradually gave up acting and devoted himself to direction, putting on as many as ten productions a year, with a revolutionary eclectic repertoire and relying on a team of actors without "stars" devoted to performing in a fresh contemporary style.
Strehler had already had a first success in Milan in 1945, when for the Benassi company he directed Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra. At the Piccolo Teatro too he was to impose upon a new public a string of successes including Gorky's Lower Depths, which Bertold Brecht later invited him to perform in Berlin; in the first season they performed the first of the plays by Goldoni, Harlequin Servant of Two Masters, which in its six versions dominated the repertoire for 40 years, and is acknowledged to be the most representative of all Strehler's works.
In 1955, the Piccolo Teatro began tending towards more realistic and epic works, and Strehler spent longer medi- tating on the nature of his productions. They again included his favourite, Goldoni's Villeggiatura (which I saw him stage at the Comedie Francaise in the 1978-79 season) and Brecht's The Threepenny Opera. He also directed Ibsen's A Doll's House, Chekhov's The Seagull and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. During his first 20 years in Milan, Strehler directed 115 productions. One of his greatest successes was another Brecht epic, The Life of Galileo, in 1963.
Nineteen-sixty-eight was the year of European student agitation. Leaving Grassi to direct the Piccolo Teatro, Strehler mounted a theatre co-operative, the Gruppo Teatro e Azione. When criticised for giving way to student pressure, Strehler replied: "That was not the reason. I had long become aware of the contradictions that existed between the idea of a popular theatre I had defended since 1945 and a society that had gradually transformed itself beyond recognition." His public was no longer one anaesthetised by a quarter of a century of Italian censorship. This interval was to be a turning-point in the maestro's career.
On returning to the Piccolo Teatro in 1973, Strehler staged King Lear, and reprised his Goldoni. He mounted one of his most beautiful operatic spectacles, The Marriage of Figaro, at the Paris Opera, to which he was subsequently invited frequently by the French government. Almost every year he brought a production to the Festival d'automne at the Odeon in Paris: Goldini's Il Campiello (given again in 1993 at the Odeon, 20 years after its first creation) and his miraculously poised Cherry Orchard by Chekhov.
The Piccolo Teatro had now renounced its civic vocation as "a theatre for the workers at the lowest possible prices" and proclaimed itself an "art theatre". Shakespeare shared the repertory with the two new Brecht productions, The Threepenny Opera and The Good Woman of Sechuan (1981) while Strehler produced Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, Macbeth and Falstaff at the Scala. In 1983, he directed the Theatre de l'Europe at the Odeon, with Corneille's Illusion comique, and the then Minister of Culture, an inspired Jack Lang, appointed him as permanent director.
But in Milan the by now legendary maestro had to face serious charges for possession of cocaine and for alleged misappropriation of European funds, charges he strongly denied. Moreover, he was weary of waiting for his new theatre to be completed, one with 1,000 seats, and in disgust with Italy Strehler went again into exile in Switzerland.
His friend Jack Lang came to his aid by accepting in 1997 the direction of the Piccolo Teatro, and succeeded in bringing Strehler back to stage Cosi fan tutte and to work on his next great project, dear to his heart, the Memoirs of Goldoni in 1998. But it was not to be. Giorgio Strehler's Goldoni will grace, in 1998, the stage of the Paris Odeon, whose flags flew at half mast on the news of the maestro's death.

Apple's iPhone remained the most popular smartphone among US buyers in the closing months of 2012 while Android handsets were on top worldwide, Kantar Worldpanel ComTech reported on Tuesday.
"At the end of 2012, the global (operating system) picture shows Android on top, but clearly the rate of growth it experienced over the past year is beginning to slow as easy wins from first-time smartphone buyers begin to reduce," said Kantar global consumer insight director Dominic Sunnebo.
Apple iPhones accounted for 51.2 percent of smartphone sales in the United States during the 12-week period ending December 23rd of last year, according to Kantar.
Smartphones powered by Google-backed Android software made up slightly more than 44 percent of sales while handsets based on Microsoft's Windows operating system were a distant third-place with 2.6 percent, the report indicated.
Android smartphones continued to be best sellers in major markets including Britain, China, Spain, Australia, and Germany while iPhones were favored in Japan as well as the United States, according to Kantor.
Windows smartphones appeared to be catching on in Europe, with its shares of sales in Britain and Italy climbing to 5.9 and 13.9 percent respectively, the reported indicated.
"Windows Phone is now starting to gain respectable shares in a number of key European countries," Sunnebo said.
"However, its performance in the Chinese and US markets remains underwhelming; these remain key challenges for Microsoft to overcome during 2013."
