Northland
FINALLY, 2 October is nearly here 🔥 After that Counties Manukau stinkeroo at Semenoff I've been salty all week tbh... but if the lads who dropped 52 on Wellington show up, Southland's in real trouble. Who's in? 💪

    That Counties loss was pure BUTTER 😤 still see it every time I drive past Semenoff. If the Wellington mob turns up down south, sorry Southland lads, long arvo coming 🔥

  • I put NZ$50 on Wellington -13 the day after that 52-28 and it landed easy, so I'd already banked them as the form side… then Counties Manukau happened 😭 Line for this one opened around Northland -6 I'd guess, and honestly the road trip down south makes me lean Southland +6 rather than touch the head-to-head. Which Northland turns up is anyone's bet, and that's exactly why the value's on the underdog here. 🔥
    Value over a big price 💸

  • Yeah nah I've given up guessing which Northland turns up. Two versions of this team, like a twin, one drops 52 on Wellington, other loses the house at Semenoff. Coin flip with jerseys 🤣

  • How is Northland -6 a thing after losing at home to Counties?? 😅 Andy, you still trust the line after it burned you for NZ$50? I'm new to this stuff, go easy on me, but Southland +6 seems way safer 🤔

  • Backed them through thick and thin all season and I still reckon the away version shows up down south 🔥 they smashed Wellington ON THE ROAD remember, no excuse about travel jitters. What scares me is Semenoff being a graveyard this month. Lost to Counties at home, coughed 57 at Harbour... ah well, nowt to do, I'm on the lads by 10+ 🤬💪

  • Don't laugh, but I'm a bit lost here guys 😅 everyone keeps saying "the away version shows up". They got 57 dropped on them AT North Harbour though, that was away too right? So which road team is meant to turn up against Southland, the Wellington one or the Harbour one? 🤔 cheers if someone can explain simply

  • Good question from the young fella above. Harbour was away too, aye. That's the thing about this mob: the jersey turns up, the attitude is a coin flip. Back in the day we used to say you can't pick a Northland side by venue, you pick them by mood, and nobody's found the mood-o-meter yet. Seen worse than this whiplash, mind. A team that hangs 52 on Wellington has the goods; a team that coughs 19 at home to Counties a week later hasn't decided whether it wants them. Southland down south in early October, weather could be nasty, and that suits whichever version fancies a scrap. Which one laces up on the 2nd? Your guess is as good as mine, and I've been watching this game since rugby was amateur.😉
    Seen it all, lads.
