Manawatu
FINALLY the Canterubry game is nearly here 😱🔥 40 points up in Auckland last week was mental tbh, then grinding out Taranaki at home… three from four and suddenly the Turbos look legit 💪 Wellington roady can wait, Oct 3 at CETA is THE one this year 🙌 get in!!

    Anyone else still buzzing from that Auckland win?? 🔥 40 points at Eden Park territory, mate, if we can do THAT away, imagine what the boys will do with a full house behind them at CETA 😱 Canterbury fans can carry on all they like about their history, but history don't tackle. Our boys have won three from four and they're coming home to Palmerston North on 3 October and I honestly reckon we smash them 💪 you just know the Turbos are gonna smell blood here. Any punter putting money on the reds need their head read tbh 🤬 TURBOS TILL I DIE 🙌🔥 GET IN!!

  • Canterbury will be favourites but the line's moved tighter since Auckland. I'd take Turbos +6 at home. Tenner on it already, plus them in the weekend multi 🔥

    Value over a big price 💸

  • Luca putting a tenner on it while I'm out here sweating like the Turbos scrum already 😂 Canterbury walking into CETA on the 3rd... that's gonna be a fun night mate 🍿
    Memes are analysis too.

  • Waikato shipped 36 on us two weeks back and everyone's forgot already 😂 Lucy throwing tenner at the TAB like a punter god, sure thing mate 💸
    Here to argue, not to nod along.

  • Waikato got a skid mark on us, sure, seen worse from better sides back in the day 😄 Lucy's tenner looks brave to me, but the Turbos at home are a different animal, I drove 300km for less hopeful nights than this.
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

  • Biggest home test of the season? After seeing us ship 36 in Hamilton I'll believe the hype when Canterbury leave CETA beaten 😏 Lucy's tenner says more about hope than form 💸
    Manawatu fans
    Any stat can be bent.

  • BadBeatAndy makes a fair point about hamilton, eh 😄 pressure does funny things under lights at ceta. back in the day i'd catch the train up from invercargill for big occasions, and i remember the crowd carrying teams over the line plenty of times. Hopefully the palmy faithful turn up loud on october 3. ah well, we'll see 😉
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Funny how everyone quoting Hamilton forgot we hung 40 on Auckland a week later 😏 Wait for the line to move and then talk to me about Lucy's tenner.
    It's a lottery, not sport.

  • that waikato game still gives me the shivers, andy, but amy's right - anyone who wrote us off after hamilton got their answer in auckland 😄 back in my day the turfos would've folded at eden park with the game in the balance; this lot closed it out. my caveat is canterbury away from christchurch are a different beast than the one that turns up soft, so i'll keep my tenner in my pocket till i see the team sheet.
    Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

  • Seen worse Turbos sides than this one, that's for sure. Back in my day we'd drive up from Auckland thinking Palmerston North was a soft touch and get turned over on a muddy pitch more than once, that ground has always had a bit of mongrel in it for visiting teams. 40 at Eden Park, mind, that's the one that made me sit up. We used to close out games like old men closing the gate, slow and careful; this lot went and won a shootout up there instead. But Andy's got a grain of truth in him. Form is a fickle mate, and Canterbury coming to town on 3 October will have watched that Waikato tape more than once. I've seen plenty of sides ride a big away win straight into a home clunker. Punters keep moving the line and I just keep chuckling; the TAB has humbled smarter men than me 😉 Young Millie reckons it's the biggest test of the season. Could well be, but ask me again at fulltime.
