Otago away next - who's backing Auckland to bounce back from that

Auckland
FINALLY we're into October, Dunedin away, got this one circled since the draw dropped 🔥 That Manawatu loss still makes me want to throw something at the telly but if the side that smashed Counties rocks up, Otago's getting flattened tbh. Reminds me of the day we came back from 20 down at Eden Park, absolute chaos 🙌 Ah well, nowt to do but wait and back them through thick and thin 💪

    Dunedin crowd gonna be quiet as a library if the real Auckland shows up 🔥 that Manawatu game was a bad night, not a bad side. Backing them all day 💪
    You don't abandon your own.

  • Hard to price which Auckland turns up, that's the whole problem. Two losses at home in four starts, gave up 40 to Manawatu of all teams. I'd want Otago at home plus whatever the line is, a tenner on them looks better value than hoping the Counties version shows. Awaited the TAB line all week, if it stays single digits I'm leaving it alone. 🔥
    Value over a big price 💸

  • Mystery box Auckland is my favourite genre of heartbreak 😂 felt like I aged ten years watching us leak 40 at Western Springs, my neighbours probably thought I was being murdered. Which squad turns up in Dunedin? Honestly dunno, but I'm bringing snacks either way 🍿

  • Chloe's got a point but I've watched enough footy to know bouncing back after a shocker happens more than pushing through a rut. Gonna be ugly down there, we sneak it 🔥 get in!
    On the terraces since I was a kid.

  • Daft question maybe 😅 but if the Manawatu game was just a bad night, how do you explain losing to Taranaki 12:28 earlier too? That's two dud nights in five, no?
    Daft questions are my specialty.

  • Saw us fold at Taranaki first hand earlier in the season, still haven't got over it 😤 but backing them in Dunedin all day, defense just has to show up 💪 ah well, nowt to do.

  • answers for the young fella asking about Taranaki. Sonny, that's two dud nights alright, and I've seen it all before with Auckland sides down the years. back in the day they'd look like world beaters one week and fall over their own bootlaces the next, usually the week you'd pencilled in a sure thing. expectations have a funny way of lying to you, so I'll believe the good version turns up in Dunedin when I see it. 😉
