Forsyth Barr on 1 October: are we backing Otago to flip Auckland?
FINALLY lads, it's nearly here!! 😱🔥 Been circling this one on the calendar for weeks and now it's actually days away. Forsyth Barr under lights, Auckland coming to town - you just KNOW the place is gonna be rocking 💪
Yeah the Harbour loss stung, I'm not gonna pretend it didn't 🤬 but the way we put 57 on Tasman and then 50 on Counties Manukau away from home?? That's real fire in the belly. Threw 21 points past Tasman for fun. If we bring that energy Dunedin will lift them to another level. Through thick and thin boys, I'm riding with Otago all the way 🙌 GET IN!! Who else is making the trip south for this??

✓Auckland fan here just lurking to say good luck lads 😏 that Harbour game had a bit of a wobble in it tbh. Bring your earplugs Dunedin, we're gonna be loud 🔥💪You don't abandon your own.

Had a tenner on Otago -13.5 in the Harbour game and it didn't land, so I'm wary this time 😭 The volatile form (57:33, then 50:21, then a 21:32 dud) makes the TAB line tricky, Dunedin under lights I'd take Otago on the line, but the value's probably in the odd try scorer market rather than loading up on the margin. Gary, if your boys are so loud, why were they quiet against Counties? 🔥Value over a big price 💸

My mood swing this month mirrors Otago's form: 57 points happy, 21 points on the couch crying into a pie 🤣 Forsyth Barr Thursday, I'm bringing the good vibes and zero expectations 😂

Auckland fan promising to be loud? 😅 No way Gary, that mob never travels well south. Andy, if the form's that volatile why's your money still going on? 😂New here, soaking it up.

Saw us live at the Harbour game and honestly the boys just switched off for 20 minutes - that's the whole story right there 🔥 Two big wins either side of it, so which mob turns up Thursday? if it's the Tasman one, Auckland go home quiet, Gary 🤬 Riding with Otago no matter what, through thick and thin 💪🙌
-
Two massive wins then a munted Harbour effort... how do we even trust which pack shows up Thursday?! Still learning reading form swings properly 😅 Thanks Josh, the travel jibe made sense actually 🙏Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏

But which pack shows up eh? Harbour switched off for 20 and we lost by 11. Auckland won't hand that back 🙉 Still backing the boys under lights though, you?Learn something new every day.

Rode home from Forsyth Barr after that Tasman night thinking we'd found something real, and tbh the Harbour trip just cost us a bit of rhythm, nothing more 😤 Weather's turning cool for Thursday and Auckland hate chasing a game in our shed, smash 'em up front early and the crowd does the rest 🔥💪 Where you gonna be, behind the posts or up the terraces? ah well, nowt to do but back them 🙌Heart with the team, head on pause.

Seen worse swings than this over the years, and I'll tell you what. The footy gods love nothing more than punting on a team off two fifties. Back in my day we'd call Harbour the sort of night that keeps a side honest. Auckland under the lights at the Barr though, that's the one that gets the blood up. Come Thursday we'll know 😉Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
