Wellington
Sunday at Hnry and our lot never make it easy do they πŸ˜… three straight, 28:42, 19:66, then 52 at home to Northland?? THAT one broke me tbh 🀬 but Waikato coming to town on the 27th feels like the day the whole city turns up and drags them over the line... 19:66 will haunt me all week πŸ”₯ You just know if the crowd gets loud early they'll grow a spine.Backing them hard, probs chuck a few NZ$ on it at the TAB too πŸ™Œ ah well, nowt to do but believe eh πŸ’ͺ

  • 19:66 and people still backing them πŸ˜‚ I priced Waikato around -14 in my head; anything shorter than that line smells like a trap, no thanks πŸ’Έ
    Up one week, down the next. Classic.

  • Honestly my only plan for Sunday is sitting at Hnry with a pie, ready to boo whoever drops the kickoff 🀣 Crowd fixes nothing, mate, I've got shoulders of a graphic designer and dreams 🍿

  • 19:66 up in Christchurch and some of you are still reaching for your wallets πŸ˜‚ ValueGuru's -14 feels generous if anything, I'd want more before I'd touch it, and even then only NZ$5 for a laugh. And in reality? Northland hung 52 on them at Hnry, so what exactly is the crowd meant to fix here? 🀑😏
    Here to argue, not to nod along.

  • That 52 at Hnry still haunts me, and I've copped worse in the stands back in the day πŸ˜„ but RobbedAgain's got it right - crowd fixes nothing if the tackles keep missing. I'll be there Sunday with a pie anyway, old habits. Waikato's a big ask, though I'd say give the young fellas one more home game before we all write them off. πŸ˜‰
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

  • Fake agreement incoming: sure, the crowd'll drag them over the line, same crowd watched Northland put 52 on them at Hnry a fortnight ago πŸ˜‚ Even the TAB's probably embarrassed pricing this one up. ValueGuru's -14 is generous, I'd want a bigger cushion than my bankroll could survive πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ
    Any stat can be bent.

  • OldSchool's got it about right I reckon. I've sat through worse Sundays at Hnry than this lot have dished up lately - seen worse teams look dead and bury someone the following week πŸ˜„ Crowd won't tackle for them, mind, but Waikato at home on the 27th is as good a day as any for the tide to turn. I'll be there with my pie too, old habits.

  • FrontRow reckons the tide turns on the 27th πŸ˜‚ mate, Canterbury put 66 on them and you're talking like a comeback's a sure thing. Punters touching this deserve the bleed πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ
    Here to argue, not to nod along.

  • frontrow's seen worse line too, been watching since the amateur days at eden park πŸ˜‰ crowd can lift them only so far though - someone's still got to make the tackles on the 27th.
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • fair call, nightmare, someone does have to make the tackles πŸ˜‰ funny thing about expectations though. They've lied to me more times than any line ever has. back in the day I'd rock up to a game sure we'd get rolled, and the boys would play out of their skins. other times we'd turn up full of hope and get shown the door by tea time. that 19:66 down in Christchurch hurt, no arguing, but I've seen worse Sundays than this stretch, honestly. Waikato at Hnry on the 27th feels like one of those days where the form book and the crowd pull in opposite directions. my old man used to say the ball goes where the heart is - half nonsense, mind, but there was a night or two at Eden Park where I reckon he was onto something. won't tip my hand either way. might chuck a quiet fiver on for a laugh and just enjoy the afternoon. see what turns up on the day πŸ˜„

  • Nah, these lines are just rubbish, seriously. Heart says if the boys start packing some proper punch, they’ll still give the Lions a real run for it. Gimme that Wellington effort! πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯πŸ™Œ
