FINALLY πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ four on the bounce and everyone's jumping back on the bandwagon eh?? Where were ya all after that loss, quiet as mice πŸ˜‚ But nah, I'll say it loud - our lot never make it easy, and I love them for it. 8 from 14 doesn't tell the half of it, that form line LWWWW is what matters going into the run-in. 488 points put on teams, that's serious stuff πŸ’ͺ Remember sitting in the stand years back watching a comeback like this unfold and thinking we'd never see it again - well, here we are. Christchurch is gonna be LOUD. Finals push is real, count me IN πŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ who's with me??

    Ha, SamUltra calling out the quiet mice πŸ˜‚ mate I never left, been copping it all season from the Chiefs mob at work, fair dues. But LWWWW into the run-in... 488 points put on the table and we're sitting 3rd with the finals in sight. Who's in?? I'M IN πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Any punter backing against us at the TAB right now is braver than the boys in the scrum tbh. Christchurch is gonna be ABSOLUTE mayhem if we keep this roll going πŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺ
    One love, one side ❀️

  • FullbackNut I'm in, but with the TAB not the heart. LWWWW means the price on them shortens every week and the line's already moved. Value was there three weeks back, now you're paying full freight. I'd rather take the margin band than head-to-head at these odds, 8-2 from six losses tells you they can leak points. πŸ’Έ
    Value over a big price πŸ’Έ

  • Jumped off after that loss and now the bandwagon's doing 100 down Riccarton πŸ˜‚ my banner printer must've cost me more than TrueBeliever's TAB multi 🀣 All in lads.
    Memes are analysis too.

  • TrueBeliever lecturing us about "full freight" pricing is rich coming from a bloke whose multi history we've all witnessed πŸ˜‚ remind me of your ROI again before you start coaching the thread on value? And in reality? Three weeks back everyone was calling them cooked after that loss, now suddenly the line's moved because TrueBeliever finally noticed what the table said all along - 8 wins, 3rd place, 488 points banked. Anyway I'm in for the simple reason Christchurch looks like itself again, defence tightening up instead of leaking like it was early season, and you can see it in the margin spread too, that 100-point cushion across the run didn't come from luck. Ask me again if they stumble this weekend though, my TAB flutter won't survive another six-losses-by-June season πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ

  • Been at Lancaster Park in the days when a win streak meant nothing but pride, so I'll take SamUltra's side here, stayed through the losses meself, no bandwagon needed πŸ˜„ Only caveat I'd add is that LWWWW came against the run of play a bit, and finals footy forgives nothing. Still, 41 points from 14 and third spot... seen worse positions going into the run-in.
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • UnderdogNightmare talking about run of play like a bloke who's watched six losses this season forget they happened πŸ˜‚ 488 points scored against 388 conceded. That's a lottery ticket paying out, mate, the defence leaks. And in reality? Finals footy punishes exactly that. Who's brave enough to put NZ$ on them at full freight now, eh πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ
    Here to argue, not to nod along.

  • seen worse stretches than this, believe me, and I've seen better ones fall over in a fortnight. +100 on the season looks tidy on paper, but back in the amateur days we learned the hard way that the table lies to you right up till semi-final week. keep the faith, just hold it loosely πŸ˜‰
    Seen it all, trust me.
