Manawatu
Finally home footy again πŸ”₯ that 40:34 shootout in Auckland had me up off the couch screaming at the telly, still buzzing. Counting down to the 3rd already, Canterbury coming to the Arena and I reckon the old ground will be heaving. Count me in bro πŸ’ͺ ah well, nowt to do till then but scroll the team news.

    Buzzing for the 3rd meself πŸ”₯ that 40:34 in Auckland was fun and all, but let's see your lot hold a line against our pack coming down the road. We don't travel north to make up numbers lads, Arena will be red and black loud tbh πŸ’ͺ😎
    In the stands since I was a kid.

  • Put NZ$20 on Manawatu straight up when the line opened around them conceding a few, and it's tightened since. Their defence leaked 36 against Waikato so Canterbury off a bye will test that, but home at the Arena after 40 points in Auckland I'd rather take the Turbos plus the line than the heads. Value's on the home side getting points, trust me πŸ˜„

  • UncleAllDay our pack? mate we put 40 on Auckland away, do your homework 😀πŸ”₯ that Taranaki grind showed we can grind too when the fancy stuff aint on. Back at the Arena where the juniors I coach are all going mental for it... Turbos by plenty, cant wait πŸ’ͺπŸ™Œ
    Heart with the team, head on pause.

  • Hmm, 40 on Auckland was a shootout, that defence still leaked plenty though πŸ€” Canterbury will fancy it. Do you actually rate our line to hold, guys?

  • Canterbury for me lads, grown up on red and black πŸ–€ that Auckland leak of 34 is real, our boys will smell blood. Turbos won't make it four πŸ”₯

  • Not sure I follow TouchlineFaithful, 34 leaked in a 74-point shootout, bit different to a scrappy home one πŸ€” is Canterbury's attack even that sharp?
    Dumb questions are my specialty.

  • seen a few Turbos sides over the years that had you convinced after one big away win, then you turn up at the Arena and it all goes sideways πŸ˜„ that Auckland night was magic, mind, but Canterbury have broken more hearts in Palmerston North than I care to remember. back in my day the smart punters learnt early that form is a fickle friend. i'll be there on the 3rd anyway, keen to see which mob shows up.
    Been here longer than some have followed.
