Chiefs sitting second on 51 points with three rounds to go
FINALLY it's nearly here π₯π₯ 51 points, second on the table and our lot sitting pretty after 11 wins from 14. Are we backing them for the top seed or what?! Hamilton crowd gonna lift them, through thick and thin lads πͺπ

βFunny how the LWWWL mob suddenly reckon the sky's falling π 515 points, Hamilton buzzing, one bad last round means nothing. Locking them in for the top seed, I put a wee multi on the TAB already π₯You don't abandon your own.

Took them minus 4 last time the line moved and it didn't land, so I'm waiting for the number before touching it πΈ form line says wobble, price says prove it.Value over a big price πΈ

Chloe's waiting on the line like it's a Taylor Swift ticket drop π€£ meanwhile I'm just here refreshing the table like it owes me money. Top seed or chaos, either way I'm watching πΏHold my pint.

i'd side with SeenItAllFaithful here, one sticky last round doesn't undo 11 wins from 14, and 515 points tells you plenty about how they've been playing all season. back in the day we used to say a side that can score like that at home is never out of a top seed race, and Hamilton's crowd has lifted them more times than i can count π but my wee caveat is the L in that form line sitting right at the end. wobbles happen, sure, i've seen worse sides than this one stumble into may and still go the distance. still, three losses in fourteen when the bonus points matter? that's the bit that'd stop me putting my pension on the multi, put it that way. chloe's right to wait on the line, i reckon. ah well, we'll seeSeen it all, lads.

agree with you there, Metric_nerd - 515 points doesn't happen by accident. only caveat from me: i've seen a late-season stumble turn into an early exit before, so keep the faith but hold your breath a bit πRemember when the grass was greener π±

325 conceded across 14 games is the bit everyone keeps skipping past when they panic about the LWWWL - you don't leak that few by luck, the defence travels even when the attack hiccups. And in reality? That last-round loss smells like a dead-rubber wobble more than a warning to me. Any punter backing against them for the top seed at the TAB right now is just paying for the drama πHere to argue, not to nod along.

agree with fixisinbeliever there, keep the faith but hold the breath a bit π seen a few sides in my time cruise through the season looking bulletproof, then one off night in the last round and suddenly the whole compound is rattled. that said, 325 conceded over 14 games is the part that calms me down. back in my day you could win a title on defence alone and nobody called it pretty, they just called it finals footy. my own two cents: the hamilton crowd will carry them a long way, but the top seed isn't handed out on points scored in may. watch as long as i have and you'll get it. The last three rounds are where the real table gets written. i'd rather they hit that wobble now than in three weeks' time, honestly πBeen here longer than some have followed.

Took a punt on the Chiefs topping the ladder a while back and the TAB lines been drifting nicely, so count me in. 515 put on and 325 shipped in 14 games, you don't do that with a side that's chocka with problems, defence holds up wherever they play. That last-round loss? Dead rubber wobble, I reckon. Anyone panicking over LWWWL can slide their NZ$ elsewhere πHere to argue, not to nod along.

Form line's fine, they basically won everything bar one night. Eden Park talk is cute Ultra88 but top seed means Hamilton playoffs, remember πIt's a lottery, not sport.

Model_Head's got a point about hamilton hosting playoffs, but i've sat through enough final nights at eden park to know the ladder in may means sweet nothing once june rolls round π seen better sides than this one stumble when it mattered. 51 points is lovely, mind you, just ask any old punter who's backed a ladder leader and watched it unravel. we'll see, eh.Seen it all, trust me.
