FINALLY the Mooloos click!! 😍🔥 That 36:27 over Manawatu looked like a different side to the one that got smashed by Canterbury tbh. Two home games left at FMG and Tasman first up Oct 3. You just know that crowd's gonna lift them 🙌 Making the trip, no question ✅

  • That Canterbury game is why I won't touch Waikato off the win over Manawatu alone 😅 the line at the TAB has them comfortable favourites and I'd want more than one good showing before lumping on. Did a small NZ$10 head-to-head in the weekend multi, that's my lot. Who's made the trip up from Napier?
    The line moves — catch it.

  • Two weeks ago I watched the Mooloos like they owed me money, now I'm pricing petrol to Hamilton 🤣 one win and my loyalty's cheaper than a NZ$10 multi. See youse there 😂
    Memes are analysis too.

  • A fortnight ago I'd have paid someone to watch that lot 😂 now I'm eyeing the drive up. One decent half vs Manawatu and suddenly the fanboys are planning road trips, sure thing mate 🤡

  • Fair dinkum, half of you were ready to burn your scarves after the Canterbury game 😄 I've seen it all before, one good half and the whole town's a Mooloo fan again. Still, that 36:27 had some spark the first three weeks didn't, so I'll drift up from Rotorua on the 3rd, seen worse sides worth a Saturday drive, young fellas.
    Seen it all, lads.

  • One win over Manawatu and suddenly the TAB line's got you all convinced 😂 funny how nobody was pricing petrol after that 14:36 at home to Canterbury. And in reality? Beat a Wellington side away first, then we'll talk about crowds making a difference. See some of youse in Hamilton Oct 3 I guess 🤡

  • Ultra's got it right, seen it all before too 😄 back in my day the Mooloo faithful were fair-weather as a spring morning, one decent win and everyone's a convert by Monday. Good on the young fellas pricing the drive though, that's how it should work. I'll say this much though: that Manawatu game was the first time in a while they looked like they actually wanted it at home. Still, fair point from Robbed, Wellington away first is the real tell. Old school rule of mine: don't trust a side till it wins ugly somewhere it usually loses. If they get past the 27th, I might drag the old bones down the expressway myself. FMG under lights in October, hard to beat that even now. 😉
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

  • Everyone suddenly a tactician after one 36:27 against Manawatu 😂 funny how the same mob copped 14:36 at home to Canterbury and 34 points put on them up north the week after. One decent showing and now the crowd's the twelfth man 🤡 smacked Wellington away yet? nah. See youse at FMG on the 3rd, my money stays in my pocket till then 💸

  • Funny thing, I drove up from Invercargill for the Canterbury game and watched that 14:36 with my own eyes, plenty of empty seats by the hour mark, so I know where Ultra's coming from 😄 but that Manawatu win did have a bit of spark to it, first time in weeks the forwards looked like they'd met each other. I'll take the young fellas' optimism over the doom-sayers any day. Might see some of youse at FMG on Oct 3 if the old knees fancy the trip, ah well, we'll see.
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Took me a NZ$60 fuel bill to learn my lesson at that Canterbury game, so yeah I'm checking the TAB line before I commit again 😂 but I'll be honest, the crowd at the Manawatu win actually had a voice for once. Tasman on Oct 3 - count me in, just don't expect me back if it's another home walloping 🤡

  • Ha, I've seen Mooloo sides look brilliant one week and clueless the next since before you young lot were born 😄 still, might wander up from Whanganui anyway.
