✓Not sure why Bay of Plenty fans are even showing up tbh 😅 that Otago game was pure fire and Harbour look scary at Albany right now. Canterbury still gives me nightmares tho, one point!! ah well, nowt to do. See you all at the ground Sunday, gonna be unreal 🔥💪You don't abandon your own.

Harbour laying points at home after three wins from four? I'll wait for the line, if Bunnings NPC pricing drifts past double digits I'm on Bay of Plenty +that 💸Up one week, down the next. Classic.

Hawke's Bay fan here, still not over the 13th lol. Might trek up to Albany just to watch them ruin someone else's month for once 🤣🍿Memes are analysis too.

i'll be at albany on the 4th, been going to that ground since before half of you were born 😄 and i'll agree with the robbed again bloke - after what harbour did to hawke's bay up there last month he's earned the right to enjoy someone else's pain for a change. that said, don't get too comfy about bay of plenty lads. the otago game was lovely, three from four is a good month's work, but i've watched this competition long enough to know a Sunday arvo against a stubborn bay side can turn sour quick. the canterby loss showed what happens when you take the foot off. still, should be a good crowd and a good afternoon. see you there, i'll be the old fella grumbling about the prices at the pie stand 😉Seen it all, trust me.

Big crowd expected Sunday then, so the pies van better stock up 😏 Touchline, if that line drifts past double digits you won't be the only punter eyeing BOP +that, but I reckon Harbour after the Otago win won't get priced that generously. Canterbury by one point still stings, eh. 😂Show me your ROI first 😏

glad someone else remembers the old ground before the reno, fanatic 😄 back in my day you could get a spot on the grass bank for a few dollars and the crowd noise carried further than any big screen does now. i'll be heading up too, sunday arvo footy at albany is a nice way to spend the day if the weather behaves. as for touchline waiting on the line, fair enough, but after harbour put 57 on northland and handled otago the way they did, i'd be surprised if bop gets much charity from the tab. that canterbury loss by a point is the only wrinkle, and seen worse heartbreakers than that in my time 😉 still, bay of plenty away from home is never a gimme, so the trip should be worth it either way.Been here longer than some have followed.

Watching a few punters already gobbling up Harbour at the TAB before the Otago win even got fully priced in 😏 A month ago half this thread called them done after Canterbury, funny how quick the fanboys flip.Here to argue, not to nod along.

Underdog's got a point about the fickle crowd, eh. I was on that grass bank too, few dollars a pop. Watch as long as I have and you'll learn teams flip faster than fans 😉Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Good on amy for the pies reminder, now I'm hungry already 😄 she's right though, one point against Canterbury and suddenly everyone had them buried, funny game, rugby. i'll be honest, back in the day i used to make the trip north for Harbour games when i was visiting the mokopuna in Albany, and i learned early never to write a team off in september. seen worse comebacks than a one-point heartbreaker, believe me. the Otago win was proper old school forwards' graft from what i heard. bay of plenty away won't be a stroll though, steamers at home are always stubborn. ah well, we'll seeSeen it all, lads.

Punters flipping from burying them after Canterbury to stacking multis before the line even settles 😂 I'll be there, that Hawke's Bay trip was worth the drive anyway.Any stat can be bent.

amy's right that the northland afternoon was a joy to watch, mind you. i'll be at albany sunday, been coming up from whanganui for harbour matches since the grass bank days, few dollars a ticket back then 😄 that canterbury one still stings but she'll be right, this side's got something about it this spring. save me a spot near the pies van, young lot 😄Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

Watched the Otago game from the couch and even the wife rated it, that's saying something 😏 already dropped a cheeky fiver on the TAB for Sunday, AmyBlues saved me a pie money yet?Here to argue, not to nod along.
