Can Otago light up Forsyth Barr against Auckland on 1 October?

✓Evening from Nelson here 😅 that Harbour game had me grinning tbh... 57 on us stung, sure, but then the boys go up to Albany and fall over like it was training drill 🤬 So which Otago actually walks out 1 Oct? If the slippery one turns up, Auckland under the roof will make it a long night 💪One love, one side ❤️

Punters need to watch what the TAB does early next week, honestly. Home after 57 on Tasman should see Otago shaded favourites around -3/-4, but that Harbour collapse screams volatility, I'd sooner wait for line movement than steam in now. Pattern says anything except those wild swings lands middle ground somewhere. She'll be right under the roof either way 🔥💸

Flat track bullies under the roof, lost the plot at Albany 😏 Which Otago turns up? Put a lazy NZ$20 on the slippery one and find out. 🤡💸

Rob, I've seen it all before mate, this side's been flipping between brilliant and butter-fingered for decades, long before the roof went on 😄 Back in my day it was wet Wednesday nights at Carisbrook doing that to us, now it's just travel. I'd back them at home though, the crowd counts for more than folk reckon.Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

Slippery one? How was that NZ$20 after Counties got slapped for 50 away too 😏 Both sides turn up, Auckland get to pick which one they face.Here to argue, not to nod along.

rob makes a fair point bro, both versions did show up within ten days of each other 😄 i'd add the wrinkle tho that the harbour trip came right after those big totals home and away, blokes running on empty legs. back in my day carisbrook taught you consistency beats fireworks anyway. keep ya NZ$20 rob, i fancy whichever otago gets last on the board. 😉Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

Counties away AND Tasman home for 50-plus, then Albany happens a week later - that's not empty legs, that's just Otago being Otago 😏Any stat can be bent.

MatchdayTillIDie has it right I reckon. Remember trucking out of Auckland one grey Monday years ago thinking the same thing, legs tell on you before the scoreline does. Two big scoring nights then Albany?SeenItAll_Guy: Seen this movie before mate. Emptier legs after two big scoring weeks sounds fair enough, though I'd add the roof crowd counts for plenty too, back in my day Carisbrook's mud flattened everyone evenly, now Dunedin gets to pick its weather 😄 Anyway, hold onto your hat until the team list drops, that's where they'll tell you which Otago rolled out of bed.Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Funny how nobody's mentioned Auckland get a say in this either 😏 the roof crowd can sing all they like, but if the same Otago that rocked Harbour shows up, empty legs won't be the excuse. I'll believe the fireworks when I see them. Sure thing, mate 🤡It's a lottery, not sport.

ha, amy's got a point that auckland get a vote too 😄 back in my day we learnt at carisbrook that the team you expect never turns up. I've watched as long as I have and you'll get it, those 57-point nights feel brilliant for a fortnight then the footy gods send you a grey thursday in albany. seen worse than 21:32 though, and under the roof with a night crowd anything can happen. i'll just take my seat on the 1st and see which mob runs out.Been here longer than some have followed.
