Chiefs sitting 2nd with 11 wins from 14 - who's in for the run home?
FINALLY it's nearly here π₯π₯ 11 from 14, sitting 2nd, and 515 points put on the board?? That's not a table position, that's a statement tbh. Hamilton is gonna be absolutely ROCKING and I can't wait, been hanging out for this all week π€
Yeah we've dropped a couple (that LWWWL run, don't get me started on the last one π€¬) but you look at the points diff - 190 in the black. And this team means business when they click. I remember being at the ground as a kid watching us battle through thick and thin, and this squad has that same feel about them. Every week must-watch from here, no mulligans, no cruise control. Who else is genuinely nervous and buzzing at the same time?? ππͺ

Put NZ$20 on the Chiefs -8 last week and it didn't land, which stung because they won comfortably enough - that L in the form line is doing all the damage to the price now. Bookies are pricing them like a side with doubts when 515-325 across 14 rounds says otherwise. For the run home I'm watching the line more than the head-to-head. If they open around -10 or tighter at home I'm loading up, because that points difference against a 51-point table position screams value over a big price elsewhere. The odd try scorer leg in my weekend multi is where the real ROI sits anyway. Anyone else notice the line moved early this week? That usually tells you where the smart money's gone π₯Bankroll discipline wins.

Don't laugh but I thought the L in LWWWL meant they'd lost last week? Took me ages to work out the order π so is the most recent result a win or a loss? Still figuring out how people write these form lines. Anyway, TouchlineLoyal, feels rough dropping NZ$20 when they actually won - did the line just move or did they win by less than 8? I'm new to this punting side of things, explain like I'm five please π 515-325 does look massive to me though, hard to argue the bookies know better than that?Learn something new every day.

Yeah form lines read left to right oldest first, so the L is the most recent result π₯ doesn't matter tho, we're gonna go off in Hamilton, every week til the end πͺ

3 losses in 14 but everyone's acting like the run home is a formality? π Maybe I'm wrong but that last L has me a bit nervous. Are the injuries stacking up or what? π€

Lucy that last L stung me too π¬ but 3 losses in 14 with 515 points banked, I'm not panicking yet tbh. Every side coughs up a stinker now and then... as long as the big fellas stay fit for the run home I'm backing them all day πͺπ₯ ah well, nowt to do but turn up Saturday anywayOne love, one side β€οΈ

Nick, cheers for asking that, I was scratching my head over form lines too π and yeah that last L has me nervous as well, big fellas staying fit is everything, eh π€Daft questions are my specialty.

been watching this game since the amateur days and i'll tell you what, 515 points banked is lovely but expectations have a habit of fooling you. Ask anyone who wrote off the Crusaders back when Fitzpatrick was still lacing them up π three losses in fourteen isn't nothing, the run home will sort the pretenders from the rest, eh. I've seen worse sides than this one stumble at the last fence... and better ones too. turn up Saturday and see, that's all any of us can do π
