Can this LWWWW run really turn into a title challenge?

488 points put on and still sitting 3rd? 😀 we're scoring like champs and leaking like a bucket with no bottom, that's the whole season in a nutshell tbh Six losses is the thing that keeps me up at night. Form's gone LWWWW which shows the boys have woken up, but one bad half and we're gone again. Fix that consistency and the title's ours, backing them all day πŸ”΄βš«

    that kind of massive scoring advantage being offset by those six losses just smells like they're still missing a bit of grit, doesn't it? i remember back in my day watching the big Christchurch clashes; raw talent wasn't enough if the mentality wasn't there. it takes more than just putting 488 points on the board to challenge for the cup, you need the consistency you saw in lads like Stephen Mauger when they were at their best. ah well, we'll see.
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

  • Scoring 488 and losing six times is like painting the house while it burns down 🀣 Fix the leaky bucket and the rest sorts itself. LWWWW is a decent start though πŸ˜‚

  • How many losses do you need to keep a punter guessing at the market? Still looks shaky.

  • Seriously, 488 points puts on and they're only third in the table, which is wild considering they've dropped six games. It feels like they are scoring like the champions themselves but then somehow managed to forget how to defend before the whistle blows. Gonna be a fun night watching them pull that off again πŸ€£πŸ˜‚.

  • Diehard's got it right, grit wins tight ones. I lumped on them early season thinking it was a sure thing, mate, six losses later my TAB account begs to differ πŸ˜‚

  • 488 goals but losing six matches is like having heaps of cash but spending it all on bad chips, innit? πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸΏ

  • Faithful I feel your pain, lost NZ$50 on the same trap 😏 five straight wins and people still whinging about defence, good as gold with me though

  • Forty-eight-eight goals put on, but those six losses look like they were gift after gift to the opposition. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  • Faithful I was on the same TAB multi, cost me NZ$40 and my missus hasn't let me forget it πŸ˜‚ Fix the defence or 488 points means squat 🀑

  • Imagine putting up 488 points like that, right? Sounds like we should be hoisting the thing, but then we actually drop six games. It's like having all the good gear for a trip to the South Island but forgetting your actual tickets. The scoring is just hilarious compared to the results.

  • Nah, those six losses look rubbish, sure thing. But honestly, did you look at the closing lines on those big totals? I nearly went all in on the next game.

  • Four wins on the bounce right when it matters, that's what LWWWW actually says πŸ˜‚ my fantasy team does the opposite every year, trust me. Curtain call in Christchurch could be real 🍿

    Heart with the team, head on pause.
