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

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

@Bones im not sure i'd even say sio is he was a great winger but walden is better in the midfield definitely
Koroi is actually a really good 10, very attacking/creative....yeah...nervous

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

a "kick off"?

"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.

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?

Yeah that's my panties bunching. Sorry for posting in a blues thread and not praising the amazingness of the blues. What was I thinking?
