Wellington
FINALLY mate, 27 September can't come soon enough 😀 Three weeks of pain. Christchurch was hard to watch, I couldn't finish my cuppa in the second half. But this is where seasons get saved. Hnry Stadium under lights against Waikato, home crowd on their back, you just know there's fight left in this squad. We've been rolled three straight, sure, but backing them all day to turn up THIS time πŸ”₯πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ Sweet as if they prove me right, gutted if they don't. Anyone else counting down the days or am I the only nutter left believing? πŸ‰

  • Can't see a bounce-back anywhere near that price, Waikato will probably be giving a few points start and even then I'd want more. Put NZ$20 on Wellington head-to-head? nah, the line moved hard after Christchurch for a reason. Better use of the money is odd try scorer in the Waikato backline πŸ˜­πŸ’Έ
    Bankroll discipline wins.

  • I sat through a few hidings at Eden Park back in my day and the good teams always found a response the next week, so I'll back the fightback against Waikato. That said, 160 points in three weeks isn't just bad luck, the defensive shape looked gone entirely. See youse at Hnry, I'll be in the same seat I've had for donkey's years πŸ˜„
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • Solid defensive shape? lol, they've leaked 160 in three weeks, that's a lottery ticket not a rugby side 🀑 Needling the fanboys is easy but even I'd struggle to back Wellington here 😏
    Any stat can be bent.

  • Saw worse sides than this one dig in, honest. But defence that shapeless doesn't fix itself in a fortnight. I'll be at Hnry hoping, not expecting.πŸ˜‰
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Seen worse, honestly. Late eighties we copped a few hidings at the Park and everyone wrote the side off, then they'd turn up the next week and play out of their skins. Rugby has a funny way of humbling the punters who think they've got it figured out. That said, 160 in three weeks is a proper old-fashioned slump, and you don't patch that shape in a fortnight with a few video sessions. I'll be at Hnry on the 27th like always, warm coat and low hopes πŸ˜„ Waikato away or home, they'll come hard at us. Maybe they surprise us, maybe they don't. That's why we turn up, aye.

    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.
