Counties Manukau
OMG, can we just talk about this coming game?! 🀯 October 3rd is going to be massive, mate. After smashing Southland 47:24 and running out Northland 22:19 away, we've got so much momentum, the crowd at Navigation Homes Stadium is gonna be absolutely buzzing for this one. πŸ”₯ This lot never make it easy, tbH. Facing Hawke's Bay after that form... that’s proper big. Hope everyone turns up in force, ah well, nowt to do but back our boys all day! πŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺ What kinda line are we looking at for this one? πŸ‰

    Bit of a reality check for the Steady the Ship crowd above πŸ˜… you lot gave up 50 at home to Otago not that long ago, so let's not act like Pukekohe is a fortress nobody breaks into. Honestly though, that 47:24 against Southland was a proper statement and backing it up away at Northland takes some ticker πŸ”₯ 22:19 away win is gutsy, scrappy, whatever you want to call it. Hawke's Bay fans, hope you've booked the trip down, because Navigation Homes is going to be LOUD on October 3 and I reckon the Magpies fanbase will be outnumbered about ten to one πŸ’ͺ You just know this one's going to go down to the wire. Come on the Steamers... wait wrong province, COME ON COUNTIES πŸ™Œ

  • Cantab's got a point, that 21:50 Otago loss still haunts my multi from that weekend 😭. Two good wins since but the line for October 3 will tell you what the TAB actually thinks, and I'd want to see it before chucking anything on. Home crowd counts for plenty at Pukekohe but I'm not loading up until I know the number. πŸ”₯
    Bankroll discipline wins.

  • 🀣 Pukekohe a fortress? mate the last mob that turned up here took 50 off us, that's less a fortress and more a bouncy castle with the door left open πŸ˜‚ Still, gonna be a fun night on the 3rd, whoever shows up with the team that beat Southland 47:24 rather than the one Otago met 🍿
    Memes are analysis too.

  • Stir it up a bit: two good wins and suddenly everyone's forgotten Otago ran in 50 at Pukekohe πŸ˜… which Counties team shows up on the 3rd, honestly?
    Learning from the veterans, go easy πŸ™

  • Coached juniors long enough to know it's all headspace tbh πŸ˜… Otago game they just didn't turn up. Back the boys to fire on the 3rd πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ

  • Headspace is one way to put it πŸ˜… but 21 and 33 points conceded before those two wins doesn't scream "sorted it" to me. Which Counties side rocks up on the 3rd, the Southland one or the Otago one? πŸ€”

  • Been watching Steans-era Bay sides come through Pukekohe since before some of you lot could spell rugby, and I'll tell you expectations have lied to me more times than a weather forecast πŸ˜„ the Otago night was grim, no arguing that, but back in the day teams here would lose 50 one week then belt the next mob off the park. I'm keen for the 3rd, just won't pencil in a result till the boys actually run out. See how the scrum goes early and we'll know which side turned up πŸ˜‰
