Four straight wins and climbing
FINALLY the boys are clicking π₯ Four straight and third on 41 points with a round to spare before the real stuff... LWWWW is exactly the form line you want rolling into finals footy, no punter at the TAB would've tipped that six weeks ago tbh.
Remember when everyone down here was writing them off after those six losses? Quiet now, aren't ya π That 100-point gap in the for/against says the machine's humming again. Christchurch in finals mode is a scary sight for the rest of the comp. Backing them all day πͺπ

βSix losses early on? Good as gold if you ask me, teams fear a cruzy side hitting form, not one that peaked in March π€π₯One love, one side β€οΈ

No line's safe with cruzy in this mood, but the books still price them on those six losses - value's on the margin, not the head-to-head. Loaded up small, watching it move. π₯Bankroll discipline wins.

StatHead putting his NZ$2 where his mouth is, respect π meanwhile I picked a six-loss Crusaders side in my multi back then and the TAB probably flagged me as a liability. Six weeks ago this thread would've been a funeral, now it's a parade - Christchurch in April vs Christchurch now is two different footy clubs fr π€£Only serious one here β barely.

Coached the juniors Saturday morning and told them all the same thing, momentum is everything at this time of year π₯ Lee_Fan is right that those early losses got written into the price, but eight wins out of eight tries conceded just 100 across that stretch... nah wait, the 488-388 split says it quietly, we're scoring in bunches again. You just know finals cruzy hits different π€πOne love, one side β€οΈ

Don't laugh if this sounds daft, but does four wins against mid-table sides really count as peaking? π€ Everyone's acting like LWWWW settles it, yet those six losses happened against the same competition. Keen to see them beat an actual top-four side before I buy the hype, or am I way off, guys? πLearn something new every day.

UltraUltra, fair point but finals footy is a different beast - seen sides limp in off six losses and die in the first 20 minutes. Momentum's real πͺ backing them all day π₯One love, one side β€οΈ

UltraUltra sounds right to me, still learning this stuff but beat an actual top-four side and then I'll believe it π momentum only means so much if the ceiling's real π€

UltraUltra's got a point about the six losses, but only 100 points conceded in that win streak bro β defence like that travels anywhere π₯ you just know they're peaking. Ah well, nowt to do but watch finals πOn the terraces since I was a kid.

Hmm, Harry, conceding few points against lower sides doesn't prove much though π who have they actually beaten? Maybe I'm wrong, but I want that top-four scalp too π
-
young fella asked who they've actually beaten. Fair question, and one i've been asking since the amateur days π back in the day we'd write sides off in may and they'd lift the trophy in june, and we'd all be eating our words with a beer in hand. six losses tells you the ceiling's low, four wins tells you it's high, and honestly the truth usually lands somewhere neither punter expects. i'll believe the peak when i see the top-four scalp too... or when i don't, and they surprise me again πSeen it all, lads.
