Can Moana Pasifika finally land a win at home in Auckland?
GET IN, it's finally happening. Moana at home in Auckland and the boys desperate for it 😤🔥 Two wins all season, five losses straight, fair enough, but in front of that South Auckland crowd? That's the whole spark right there. Who else is backing them through thick and thin?! 🙌💪

✓Count me in FullbackNut 🙌 heard plenty of neutrals giggling at two wins all year. Funny how quiet they go when South Auckland packs the stands 😏 fury or nothing boys!!One love, one side ❤️

Love the passion boys but my TAB account is scarred from backing them all year 😭 Five straight losses and the line just keeps moving further against them every week, which tells you where the money's going. Two wins from fourteen... even at 11th with nothing to play for, I'd need double digits plus the head-to-head to even look at it. Chance the crowd lifts them, but I've been burned sweet as too many times. 💸Value over a big price 💸

Chloe putting her TAB through rehab while we're out here planning a parade down Queen St 🤣 five straight Ls and I still reckon the crowd drags them over the line. Count me in 😂Only serious one here — barely.

count me in with the faithful, i've backed worse sides over the years and lived to tell the tale 😄 back in my day you'd sit through a whole season of hidings and still turn up every saturday, that was just the deal. chloe's got a point about the TAB though, when the line keeps sliding against you week after week, the market's telling you something. my old man used to say the crowd is the fourteenth man, but he never had to put twenty bucks on it. still, if south auckland turns up loud like they can, and the boys play angry instead of anxious, i reckon they nick this one. fury or nothing, as grace says. i'll be watching from the couch up here, shout at the telly like always 😉Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

The parade down Queen St for a side that's shipped 567 points in fourteen games, that's a bold bit of theatre 😂 I get why the crowd means everything to you lot, but five straight losses and a line sliding further against them every week isn't exactly a love letter from the market. Each to their own though, someone's gotta fund the TAB. Backing them again? 🤡💸Any stat can be bent.

I've paid TAB plenty over the years learning that lesson. That 567 is ugly no doubt, but I took Moana + the spread at Mount Smart earlier in the season when everyone said fade them and they covered easy, crowd had the joint rocking. Still wouldn't touch them head-to-head, that's a no from me. But if that line keeps sliding I'll have a small punt on the margin band purely because the full-ground nights at Eden Park do weird things to visiting sides. Value over a big price, that's the whole game. Lost a $40 multi last weekend on the odd try scorer leg so my bankroll's in a mood 😭Value over a big price 💸

i'm with andy on the 567 points, hard to argue with a number that ugly 😄 but andy, i've watched super rugby since the amateur days and crowd nights at a full ground can lift a side ten points on their own. Seen it happen more than once. caveat being five straight losses is five straight losses, so i'll believe it when i see the second half, not the haka.Been here longer than some have followed.

Reminds me of the old Bledisloe nights at Eden Park when everyone'd written the home side off by halftime of the warm-up, and half of them turned out right anyway 😄 expectations are a funny beast, they'll deceive you both ways. I've sat through seasons of hidings in the amateur days and still found a reason to turn up. So who actually fancies them tomorrow, or are we all just here for the atmosphere?Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.
