    57 one week then a one point gut-punch to Canterbury 😀 that's Harbour for ya. Rotorua crowd better pack their ear plugs cos either way it's gonna be a ride πŸ”₯

  • Took Harbour -4.5 on my TAB multi over the weekend, landed easy vs Otago. If the line moves to anything over 6 away in Rotorua I'm leaving it alone πŸ˜­πŸ’Έ
    Bankroll discipline wins.

  • Harbour this season is like my flatmate doing dishes - 57-point effort once a month, then you find one fork in the sink for a week 🀣 Rotorua on the 4th is basically a mood ring, whatever team shows up tells us who they really are. StatHead losing sleep over the line, meanwhile I'm just here for the ride 🍿

  • Funny thing is the Canterbury loss was closer than most of the wins, one point, mate, and that's the team supposedly "inconsistent". Otago rolled over at 32:21 and suddenly everyone's back on the bus to Rotorua. If you're punting on which Harbour turns up on the 4th, that's a lottery not a read. 😏

  • Funny thing, back in the day I'd drive down from Rotorua for the Bledisloe nights and never knew which All Black side would front either πŸ˜„ Fullback_Faithful has a point - that one-point Canterbury loss was hardly a disaster - but my caveat is this Harbour mob scored 57 and 32 in two of their wins, so the upside is real, they just need to bring it away from Albany on the 4th. Watch as long as I have and you'll get it, bro - mood ring's about right.

  • One point either way vs Canterbury and you lot still call them inconsistent 😏 Meanwhile the TAB lads are pricing this like a coin toss. Who actually lines up against Bay of Plenty on the 4th decides whether I put NZ$20 down or keep my money in my pocket, and in reality? Nobody here knows either. πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ
    Here to argue, not to nod along.

  • i'd back SeenItAll_Guy here, one point in the Canterbury game says more about them than a lot of folk reckon. my only caveat is the 57 against Northland came at home with the crowd behind them, and Rotorua will be a different animal. back in my day we used to say the away dressing room sorts the men from the boys, and i drove to plenty of grounds over the years to learn that the hard way πŸ˜„
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • Fair shout from UnderdogNightmare about the crowd thing, but here's one nobody's said yet. Every one of these results came off a short turnaround, and the 57 vs Northland was the freshest legs they've had all month. By the time they front up in Rotorua they'll have had a proper week to prepare, which usually helps the side that actually trains rather than the one that vibes. RobbedAgain, "nobody knows either" is rich coming from a punter who's clearly already priced his NZ$20 into the weekend budget πŸ˜‚ I'd say the Otago game tells you more, they controlled it without needing the circus act. Wait for the fanboys to pile in though. 😏
    Any stat can be bent.

  • Seen worse from Harbour sides over the years, believe me πŸ˜„ expectations lie more often than the scoreboard does. Ah well, we'll see.

    Seen it all, lads.
