Out of the first 9 fixtures we are only away in 4 of them.

OK so strategy is, win all of our home games with a BP, = 45
points. Then at least 2BPs from every away game, = 18 points.
Turn 3 of those away games into wins, = 9 points.
So, in total 72 points and a home semi....

Wot I meant was, out of our starting fixtures we have more Home
than away which, hopefully, will give us a kick start (see what
I did there) to the Season.

...prior to a traditional Quins late season collapse triggered
by a bad defeat on the road?
I'm more bothered by the number of 6 day turnarounds and the
opening run of games. It does not seem a fair schedule at all.

I haven't checked but does it mean you end the season with more
away games? Could be crucial in the run-in

Yes, it does. With 18 games across the season the split will
always be 4/5 in one half and 5/4 in the other because you have
to play each of the 9 other teams home and away, and the
schedule tries to get that as even as possible across the deal.
