    @Duluth Haha, nice try, but the Highlanders are clearly not the favourites this year.

    Rubbish. You're using feelings. I'm using logic. The undefeated Highlanders are favourites

      Not to mention the blues will get penalised off the park in the first half and Josh is yet to miss a kick in SRA.

        it feels like your trolling but i'll bite a little...undefeated in one game, compared to two games for the blues

        we just scraped past the chiefs...at home...when the blues beat them comfortably

        its at home for the blues

        TAB have blues as favs

        and before covid the blues we riding high on the table and we were struggling with largely the same squads...except we had ioane then

        facts = blues favs to win

          I’ve been to almost every Blues home game since I returned to NZ in 2013. Think of all the shitty performances I sat through during the Kirwan/Umaga years.. then there were the cruel games where the Blues outplayed the opposition but still manage to lose in the last 5mins

          It’s going to be a long time before I watch a game confident of a win.

          This year has been fun so far

          Blues favourites, but the Highlanders are a lot more dangerous than most people think

            What's the oil on Walden missing out altogether. Couldn't see him on the injured list. Any idea?

              He was injured to start the super season and then they stuck with the (doomed from the start) failed experiment of Ioane at 12 and Misery Hunt at 10. It's starting to smell like something else now with the ridiculous selections going on seemingly just to ensure our 2nd best back last year doesn't even make the bench.

                Oh god, yes. They have been super long years, except it's been since 2007 for me. All of the Shawshank, so little redemption

                        "Periods of rain, heavy at times with thundery falls possible until evening. Rain easing to showers at night with northeasterlies changing westerly"

                        Not sure you really want that, our strength is the forwards and field kicking.

                              It’s going to be a long time before I watch a game confident of a win.

                              This year has been fun so far

                              Blues favourites, but the Highlanders are a lot more dangerous than most people think

                              ....so....draw? 😉 or somehow we both loose :man_facepalming_light_skin_tone:

                              No draws. Golden point.

                              well...if it is tied after golden point....

                              a "kick off"?

                                Not sure you really want that, our strength is the forwards and field kicking.

                                    Yeah you're right, our forwards and kicking game suck. What we really want is a dry track to unleash our rolls Royce backline.

                                      I see your point, I just think the weather favours us more than you regardless. Even Nock's kicking has been good this year, and bad weather forces us to kick instead of play too much.

                                      That avoids the variability of the refereeing a bit as well, so you don't try to play too much from your half.

                                      I really want to watch what the Blues forwards would do to a team if they are forced to play tight. Patrick is destroying people out there at the moment.

                                        @Kirwan yeah so what you're saying is I should be hoping the match doesn't go ahead as we've got no hope and if it does I definitely shouldn't want the weather to play towards our strengths because you're still stronger? Righto...

                                          Don't get your panties in a bunch.

                                          I'm just pointing out your strengths are our strengths too, so wishing for rain is pointless. And we have Dan Carter, have I mentioned that recently?
