Doesn't matter the Trophy is in Christchurch it doesn't really mean much to me as a crusaders fan it feels like the SR season is over.
Blues win good on them but the name on the trophy remains the same for the 11th title and 4 in a row.
So get your teeth into this post as I am sure some will love a bite.:fearful_face:
Gloating is just so unbecoming.

Dead rubber games have a history of the fans getting all excited but the winning players simply not having enough motivation compared to the other team whose fans pretend there's actually something on the line. There isn't.
Thinking of Waugh's Aussie cricket team, 3rd and 4th play-offs, Liverpool this season etc.
So Blues off a bye and at home should win and then their fans will have 9 months of talking up a team that yet again have won fuck all
Hope they have a final next year, not to determine the best teamm but just to give landers fans another game to watch

Where on earth is @ACT-Crusader ?
It's only Auckland!

@pakman If the Blues lose it'll be a choke of epic proportions. They're playing at home, have the best loosies in the comp, two time worlds greatest player and playing against a team who has already won the competition.
The only thing stopping the Blues will be if the ref is biased. This has been a huge problem for them since about the start of 2004 super rugby season.

It would be a choke! Saders pack has only two AB quality players (three if Joe M makes it back). Loosies distinctly mediocre. Half backs meh, and whilst a high quality backline, only Ritchie and Sevu have X-factor.
If Blues get their big boys running at Saders they will punch holes. Sure Leon will have clocked how the Clan's offloading defused Chch D.
And Blues backs off front foot ball will be a handful.
I could see us giving Saturday's 23 a ten point beating.
If a B side then I hope they take offense and put 20 on them, which will be a nice feeling to go into the NPC with.

@pakman how does Jordan not have x factor?
Honestly, he's the most unconvincing game breaker to watch. Seems to just plod along and absolutely smokes people left, right and centre. It's so weird.
