But whether having five stuck past you at a canter is any good for the team in the long term is IMO arguable.Maybe we are getting a % of the gate receipts (pure guess) so thought it was worth playing?

Do you really think that's how it works? Get beaten by five in your first pre-season game and you are inoculated against the same happening in the league? It's certainly a novel theory, I'll give you that...Rather now than getting trashed, say, 4-0 away on the first day of the season.
