Matchday eve at the lounge
Kia ora lads, who's still breathing after that week? π
Friday under lights at the stadium, we turn up LOUD π₯ I'll be brave and call a surprise wing start before the sheet drops, NZ$5 in the pool, loser shouts coffees at the meetup πͺ Who's in?

βbeen calling team sheets since back in my day at Lancaster Park, and I'll tell you the one thing I've learned. The coach always keeps a trick up his sleeve for a Friday night under lights π so count me in, NZ$5 sits happily in the pool. i'll tip the surprise wing start too, my money's on the young fella who tore it up in the Bunnings NPC pre-season run. Remember where you heard it first. loser shouts coffees? seen worse punishments, that's half the fun of a meetup. friday we turn the volume up like the old days, aye π₯Been here longer than some have followed.

In for the NZ$5, purely to fund my coffee debt π€£ My wing prediction is whoever ran the furthest at training apparently - my source is my neighbour's dog πΏ

Count me in, NZ$5 straight in the pool πͺπ My tip is a fresh face on the right wing, they had a strong week at training and I keep hearing the coaches were rapt with him π€π₯ RobbedAgain your neighbour's dog has called more team sheets right than me tbh π€£ Last season I picked the backline perfectly then tipped the wrong reserve hooker ah well, nowt to do. Friday we get loud anyway πYou don't abandon your own.

In for the NZ$5 π€ my tip: fresh face on the wing, why else would coaches hype a training week like that? See you all there loud π₯In the stands since I was a kid.

Fresh face on the wing? Half of yous are just copying each other's homework π€£π My tip's gonna be so wrong it loops back to genius, NZ$5 in, coffee's on someone else πΏMemes are analysis too.

I'll believe the fresh face when the team sheet actually drops. NZ$5 in anyway.Sample first, conclusions after.

Fresh face on the wing eh? My tip: they play it safe and run the same backline... every year I tip the bolter, every year I look like a muppet π NZ$5 in πͺπ₯One love, one side β€οΈ

Half of yous tipping the fresh face and the other half tipping no changes, that's a coin flip with extra steps π€£π I'd shout the coffees myself at this point, my team sheet calls are so bad I made my neighbour's dog look like a TAB punter πΏ NZ$5 in anyway, someone's gotta fund the banter π₯Memes are analysis too.

your neighbour's dog at the TAB, that cracked me up properly π mind you back in my day we called the team sheet off the back of the newspaper and got it wrong just the same, so nothing much has changed eh nz$5's in from me anyway. i'll go against the room and tip the same backline too - sometimes the boring call is the brave one when everyone's chasing the bolter. young lot, take notes: patience wins pools eventually π see you all friday, loud as ever, and coffees at the meetup regardless of who pays π₯Remember when the grass was greener π±

@RobbedAgainEnjoyer coin flip with extra steps sounds good, but a 50/50 split here just means nobody's actually watched the training reports. I'd rather put my NZ$5 on the team sheet being late than on either call, honestly.Numbers are honest, takes aren't.

NZ$5 in, sure thing, mate π€‘πΈ
