Manawatu chasing a fourth straight win against Canterbury at the Arena
Finally lads, home game at the Arena on the 3rd and the boys rolling in off that 40:34 carnage in Auckland π±π₯ Four from five would've been nice but three wins in four? You just know our lot never make it easy. Defence holding or another shootout, dunno tbh, but I'm buzzing either way πͺπ

βEnjoy the win in Auckland turfs, that defence leaked 34 points π Canterbury at the Arena? We're coming to spoil the party ππ₯In the stands since I was a kid.

Line's sitting around Canterbury by 4 at the TAB and I reckon that's short. Two of the last three went over anyway, so over 50-odd looks the value side, though that leaky defence scares me for a stake bigger than NZ$20. UncleAllDay, your mob gave up 34 in Auckland too, party might be spoiled both ways πΈBankroll discipline wins.

My heart rate after that Auckland game still hasn't come back down, imagine another shootout π€£ I'll just hold my pint and pray the fullback's boots are tied properly this time πΏMemes are analysis too.

Go easy on me but didn't we lose to Waikato between those wins? π Three from four feels a bit lucky to be bragging about. Canterbury by 4 actually seems fair to me?
-
Lucy, lucky? Nah mate, we went down to Hamilton and got beat fair and square, that's footy π€ But that Auckland game had me yelling at the telly like an AB test at Eden Park... 40:34, my ticker's still rooted. Defence holding? I'll believe it when I see it, give me another shootout and a win πͺπ₯One love, one side β€οΈ

Can I ask something as the new guy here π everyone keeps saying Canterbury by 4 is fair but they've got the same leaky defence problem we do, right? If Auckland put 34 on us surely someone's been cutting Canterbury open lately too. I'm with the shootout crowd, my heart couldn't take a tight one anyway π What's everyone's actual score prediction?Dumb questions are my specialty.

Hang on, Jess, four on the bounce? We lost to Waikato in there π Canterbury at the Arena is a fair shout though, but I'd take the shootout over our defence holding, wouldn't you? πLearn something new every day.

UltraUltra mate count the actual wins, three from four is the record and you know it π€ Defence holding? Both teams leaky, so take the shootout and back our boys to outscore them at the Arena πͺπ₯On the terraces since I was a kid.

Everyone keeps saying outscore them, but we needed 40 to beat Auckland, what if it's 34-30 the wrong way? π Who actually wins the tight stuff at the Arena?Learning from the veterans, go easy π

Tight stuff? We held Taranaki by two at home, that's the template π€ Back the boys to grind it late at the Arena, 40 everywhere every week will kill us π₯πͺIn the stands since I was a kid.

Don't laugh but I'm confused by the "template" bit π We beat Taranaki by two, then gave up 36 to Waikato and 34 to Auckland, so which defence are we trusting exactly? Feels like whoever has the ball last wins at the Arena π

i've watched footy at the Arena since the amateur days, and i'll tell you the form guide's lied to me more times than it's told the truth. whoever wants it more on the night, eh πSeen it all, trust me.
