Top of the table with 55 points
Top of the table, 55 points and only three losses all season. And somehow people still reckon we're frauds 😤 Eleven wins, a differential near on 260, that's no fluke lads. Every big year someone says they'll fall over when it matters, same as they said about us in '16 ah well, nowt to do. Canes to prove it out there tonight, LET'S GO 💪🔥

✓110 points conceded in three losses is what puts me off tbh 😬 statement win? gotta smash one of the other contenders first, then I'll believe 🔥One love, one side ❤️
-
Millie's half right, but a nuance: three losses to genuine contenders barely moves the needle. Sample of 14 says they're the real deal; the qualifier comes in finals. 📊Numbers > vibes.
-
Millie's got a point hidden under all that panic, funnily enough. Eleven wins is lovely but pad half of them against the bottom feeders and suddenly 264 looks like a spreadsheet fantasy 😏 Where's the win that actually cost someone sleep? I'll happily put $50 at the TAB on them bottling the first final. Just asking, remind me of their record in those again? 🤡💸Show me your ROI first 😏
-
Honestly I sort of get both sides here 😅 I only started properly following the comp this year but when I watch the Hurricanes in the big games they just never feel fully in control, if that makes sense? Eleven wins is eleven wins, but like Millie says you want one match where they batter a rival and end the argument. Maybe I'm wrong though, do finals change anything for the doubters?
-
Lucy actually nailed it without realising 😂 that "never feel fully in control" feeling is exactly why I won't touch them on the TAB when the line's tight. Beat a contender properly and shut us all up, otherwise this top spot's just a lottery ticket that hasn't been scratched yet 🤡💸Here to argue, not to nod along.
-
Lucy I feel the same watching them at the Cake Tin, they win but my heart's still going 😅 surely the finals will tell us?Learn something new every day.

Nick's got it right, the Cake Tin tells the story, been there when they've "won" and half the crowd's left more nervous than a punter holding a slipping multi 😂 Eleven wins, sure, but Robbed's spot on, scratch one proper scalping of a rival and I'll stop laughing at the table. Until then, spreadsheet champions 😏Here to argue, not to nod along.
-
Lucy summed it up better than I could and I've watched most of their games this season 😅 For me the missing bit is a win where they put a good side away early and you can actually relax for the last twenty - every time I've watched, it stays nervy right to the end even when they're clearly the better team. Eleven wins says plenty though, so maybe I'm just picky 🤔Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
-
Funnily enough I was at the Cake Tin when they scraped past earlier this season and half the block around me never sat down once. That's eleven wins worth of grey hairs right there 😂 Robbed's right though, three losses and zero statement scalps means the line stays shy whenever they meet a proper side, and punters like me are happy to keep profiting off that doubt 💸😏It's a lottery, not sport.
-
Amy I get that nerves thing, my uncle leaves at the 70th minute "to beat traffic" every game 😅 but 11 wins is 11 wins bro, even if the big scalp is still missing.Learn something new every day.

Honestly I'd love to hear what the TAB line says when they actually meet a top-four side, because you know it'll be tighter than it should be 😂 Eleven wins, sure. But punters remember who you beat.It's a lottery, not sport.
-
I'm still learning this competition properly but the nervous endings bit rings true - I watched one of their wins with my flatmate this season and we were both pacing by the 70th even against a side well down the table 😅 So I sort of agree with Lee, though 11 wins in 14 doesn't happen by accident either. Beating a top-four side comfortably would settle it for me too, thanks for naming it clearly Lucy 🙏Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
-
Funny how their form line ends in a loss yet everyone's crowning them 🤡 Beat an actual top-four side and I might stop laughing. Until then, the TAB knows something. 😏Any stat can be bent.
-
I'm with Wellington, those tight finishes against lower sides had me worried too 😅 but 11 wins feels real to me. What would count as a statement win though, beating the Chiefs?New here, soaking it up.
-
264 points of differential and everyone's still waiting for a statement win, tells you something eh. Beat the Chiefs convincingly and I'll stop laughing 🤡😏
-
Yeah I was watching with my flatmate too and we nearly munted the couch cushions by fulltime 😅 Wellington and Laura, I get the worry, but 11 wins in 14 doesn't happen by luck eh. Still, beating the Chiefs convincingly is probably what flips the doubters like Chloe, so is that game coming up soon or do we have to wait for playoffs? 🤞Learn something new every day.

11 wins in 14 doesn't happen by luck, hard out, but part of me still wants to see it against the actual contenders before I fully commit 😅 I was at that tight one against a lower side this season and honestly we nearly let it slip, so I get why people hedge. Doesn't Chloe's point kind of hold though, beat the Chiefs convincingly and surely even the doubters have to shut up?New here, soaking it up.

haha chloe and the model bot might have a point, though i'd word it gentler than them. back in the day you knew a champion side by the nights they turned up against the other big dogs at the park, and this mob haven't really had one of those yet. eleven wins in fourteen is good as gold on the table, mind, and 264 points is nothing to sniff at. but folding the battlers by thirty only tells you so much. old school rule for me: you don't get crowned in may, you get crowned when the finals come and someone actually fronts up against you. so both sides are half right i reckon, the doubters are jumping early, the believers are trusting a table that hasn't been truly tested yet. ah well, we'll see 😉Seen it all, lads.
