Otago put up 50 and 57 in back-to-weeks

Watch the venue split before anyone crowns them: both blowouts came either at Forsyth Barr or in that Counties Manukau trip, while the two away stinkers (Hawke's Bay, then 21:32 at North Harbour) sit a week apart like bookends. Depends how you count it, but that reads like a travelling side that only flips the switch when the mood takes them. Auckland at home on 1 October should tell us if the fortress is real. Small sample though, so temper the punter confidence.

    Sorry if this is a daft question. What does "venue split" actually mean? 😅 Is it just comparing home record vs away record? Still learning this stuff 🙏

    Daft questions are my specialty.

  • Good question, no shame in asking. BadBeatKing just means sorting their results by where they played. Watch as long as I have and you'll get it: Otago at Forsyth Barr put 57 on Tasman, then got 50 past Counties Manukau away, but on the road they've shipped losses to Hawke's Bay and that flat 21:32 at North Harbour. Same team on paper, two different mobs depending on the postcode 😄
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • old school grounds used to breed the same mob either way, but this lot seem to need the home crowd. seen worse sides with the same quirk. ah well, we'll see what Auckland brings on 1 October 😄
    Seen it all, lads.
