Finally, footy worth getting loud about again 🔥 Mate, 8 wins from 14, 456 points put on the table, and somehow we're all staring at that LLLLL like it's a car crash you can't look away from 😱 attack's always been there, the slide is the bit doing my head in tbh But nah, I'm riding the bounce. Playoffs are a fresh slate, you get in and anything can happen, we've all seen it before. Backing Auckland to fire, always have, always will 💪 get in!

    Anyone else old enough to remember yelling at the boys down the pub about a run like this? 😱 five straight losses and the Blues still cling to 4th... that's a heartbeat, not a crisis 🔥 when the playoffs come around I'm backing them all day, and all you Crusaders types whinging upthread are gonna eat those words at Eden Park 🙌

  • Yeah nah, I priced this wrong twice already 😭 took the Blues -6 a few weeks back when the line moved out and it didn't land, then left the overs alone and copped 50+ anyway. Bookies have clearly noticed the slide too, that 456-412 spread says points are there, but I'm not touching them at short odds till a win actually shows up on the board. 💸
    Value over a big price 💸

  • Me watching the Blues try to lose their way into a home playoff like my mate parallel parking into a park he's already in 🤣 hold my pint, I guess

  • ha, robbedagain, that parking image nearly had me spitting my tea out 😄 nick's right though, we've all sat in a pub in the depths of winter yelling at a telly about this sort of run. i'll back them for the playoffs, but my caveat is simple: back in my day a five-loss slide meant the forwards had stopped fronting, and attack alone doesn't win you knockout footy. seen worse collapses, mind, but i'd like the set piece fixed before i get loud again 😉
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • Five straight and still top four, the table's basically paying Auckland for past services rendered 😏 My TAB slip says ride the bounce at your own cost.
    Any stat can be bent.

  • andrew's right that the table's kind to them, but i've seen worse slides turn around come finals. back in the day teams limped in and found form. we'll see 😉
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Andy, your TAB slip says ride the bounce? Mate, I've seen your tips, if anything that's a sell signal 😂 Five losses in a row going into finals footy, that's a lottery ticket wearing a Blues jersey, not form. Ultra88's right that sides have limped in and clicked before, but you'd want to see one half of decent footy first. Sure thing, mate. 🤡💸

    It's a lottery, not sport.
