Canterbury
Finally, a Saturday worth circling on the calendar 🔥 four on the trot now after that Windley burst against Wellington was something else, SIXTY-SIX points!! I nearly fell off the couch tbh 😱 North Harbour had us scrambling though, one-point heart attack stuff 💪 keeps the boys humble going into Palmy. reckon we get number five next weekend… GET IN 🙌 CANTERS NEVER MAKE IT EASY BUT THEY GET THE JOB DONE 🔥🔥 Who else is backing red-black eh?! Even the TAB line feels generous lol

    Palmerston North on a spring arvo with the red and blacks rolling into town? Poor Manawatu buggers 🤬 66 past Wellington, ground out Harbour by a point. That's a side that can win ugly AND pretty. I'd be shocked if the streak dies Oct 3, get in 🔥 ah well, nowt to do but book the trip
    You don't abandon your own.

  • Been on TAB all morning - Canterbury giving up around 14, which feels skinny after they only snuck past Harbour by a point. Taking Manawatu +14 with a few NZ$ on it 💸
    Value over a big price 💸

  • Manawatu defence reading a video session going "yep we'll just let them try THAT again please" after watching 66 go past Wellington 😂 Honestly TrueBeliever your punting nerves must be shot worse than Harbour's goal-line guarding last week, stick another $5 behind it and enjoy being wrong beautifully 🍿 Coming from a bloke whose biggest road trip got ruined when he went via Taupo instead of SH1, this season is delicious.🤣

  • TrueBeliever, watch as long as I have and you'll get it, those one-pointers against Harbour tell you more than the 66 past Wellington ever will. Saw plenty of juggernaut sides roll into Palmerston North back in my day and leave with a bloody nose. Seen worse tips than taking Manawatu with the 14 though, so best of luck with your NZ$ 😉
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • Love how one squeaky win over Harbour and suddenly everyone's a rocket scientist. Give me a pointer on the line, UnderdogNightmare - just asking 😏

  • UnderdogNightmare has got it about right, the Harbour game told us more than the Wellington romp ever did - back in the day I watched plenty of fancy Christchurch sides get a proper hiding down in Palmerston North on a cold Saturday. still, four straight with 66 put past Wellington, you'd be brave backing against them. took the streak to continue myself, small punt only, ah well, we'll see 😄
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Metric_nerd talking like Palmerston North is some graveyard, mate I've been up there plenty, half the crowd leaves at halftime even when the home side's in it 🤡😏 I'd stick a lazy NZ$20 on Canterbury keeping the streak alive.

    Here to argue, not to nod along.

  • Metric_nerd's right about those cold Palmerston North Saturdays, seen a few myself 😉 though my money'd still go with Canterbury, just not by much.
    Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

  • Funny how a one-point squeak against Harbour gets spun as title form 😂 that North Harbour match had panic written all over it. everyone's busy shoving Canterbury into their weekend multis while the line on Manawatu stays weirdly tight, the TAB clearly remembers the 25:24 more than the 66:19 does. carry on though, I'll enjoy watching you all discover Palmerston North 🤡
    Any stat can be bent.

  • Seen it all before, fellas - the 66:19 flattered them and that Harbour squeak probably told the truth. Canterbury by plenty or Manawatu by one? Nobody truly knows 😉
    Seen it all, lads.
