Five losses in a row but still fourth
FINALLY the boys are back in Auckland π₯ Five straight losses and still sitting fourth? That's a squad with more fight than the form line shows, trust me. Eden Park crowd gonna lift them big time, get in! πͺπ

βFive straight losses and still fourth π whoever wrote that script deserves a raise. Eden Park under lights, our lot never make it easy but they'll show up Saturday π₯πͺOne love, one side β€οΈ

The Blues losing five straight while somehow staying fourth is me ignoring my design deadlines and still hitting the Friday deadline π€£ they'll turn up Saturday, hold my pint πMemes are analysis too.

Maybe I'm wrong but doesn't fourth place with five losses in a row sound more like luck than form? π Everyone's saying Eden Park will fix it, yet they've conceded 412 in 14 games, that's a lot of points to just shrug off. Go easy on me, still learning, but is home advantage really enough here? π€

456 points sounds nice but conceding 412 in the same stretch? That's nearly a wash π If the attack was really carrying them, would the form line be LLLLL? I'm with Lucy here, home crowd feels like a story we tell ourselves. What actually changes at Eden Park apart from the travel? π€New here, soaking it up.

Mike, defence leaks get fixed with tackles, not vibes... but heads? Eden Park does that π₯ Attack is carrying them for real πͺπYou don't abandon your own.

Serious question though - if Eden Park fixes heads so easy, why'd the form line get to five losses before it mattered? π Still learning this but sounds hopeful to me π

Played enough footy to know a slump like that doesn't come out of nowhere π those five losses happened away from home mostly, and lads' heads go when every week's a new hotel. Back at Eden Park with the crowd behind them? Heads lift, defence tightens, you just know it πͺ ah well, nowt to do but turn up and seeOn the terraces since I was a kid.

Hmm, if hotels are the problem bro, half the table would be on a five-loss slide π Surely a fourth-place side loses five straight at some point regardless of venue? π€Learning from the veterans, go easy π

Matchday_Legend has a point tbh, every side hits a bad patch, but 456 points scored tells me the guns are still firing, they're just leaking at the back π€ Fix that and fourth becomes top two quick, I've seen sides turn way worse around. Come on the Blues, Eden Park under lights, get in! π₯πͺ ah well, nowt to do but turn up SundayYou don't abandon your own.

Dunno though, if the guns are still firing like you say, why leak 412 points?? π Feels like hoping rather than expecting to me πDaft questions are my specialty.

Funny thing about form lines, I've watched rugby long enough to know a fifth loss often comes just before the turn. Five straight and still fourth tells me the points table has been kinder than the footy deserves, and that can cut both ways. Eden Park under lights has flipped worse sides than this; whether the leaking at the back stops, eh, that's the part nobody can promise. πBeen here longer than some have followed.
