NPC - Premiership remaining matches

I think if Northland were to win either of thier last 2 matches, it is v Waikato, not Auckland...we just seem to have a mental block playing Auckland, no matter how we are playing, we get pumped.

The match v Waikato is in Kaikohe too, so that will be an experience for them!

[ACT Crusader]

I can see the headline now, Canterbury snags a finals spot after consecutive bonus point victories over Money Bags and Orcs.

@Tim

They should offer odds on relegation

[ARHS]

Surprisingly attractive odds for Counties Manukau, Canterbury, BOP and Hawkes Bay. I expect all of them to be much closer than the odds suggest.

[KiwiPie]

@Tim $23 seems a bit lean for the Bay given what we have to do to even get in the top 4, not to mention getting thumped by the 3 favourites already.

[Hooroo]

It's a pretty tight comp where the bottom of the table with two rounds to go can still win the comp

[Tim]

[Duluth]

The Waikato v BoP game is huge

Shame about the silly schedule.. it’s on at the same time as the shield match

[Tim]

@Duluth Yep, that could set up the NH/BOP game to decide a semifinal, and relegate Canterbury.

You can blame Canterbury for that too!

If Wellington pulls off the upset tomorrow there will be more twists and turns.

[Tim]

@Bovidae Yeah, the formula for Cantab relegation is zero points for them tonight, four for BOP, and one for Wellington.

[Bovidae]

@Tim BOP can get their 4 pts next week.

Ta$man haven't got the memo so far.

[Tim]

@Bovidae Yeah, they look gash.

So BOP and Harbour battle out a non-bonus point draw, the Poo miraculously beat Welly and to top it off we beat Auckland with a bonus point to steal a finals spot

That would be a regular time draw and no points in the 20mins of extra time? Easy!

You should get some good odds on a Canterbury title now

Miracles can come true!

Alternatively Canterbury beat Auckland by 30 and Harbour beats BOP 6-5! We are through.

Dare to believe.

If the Harbour v Bop match goes that way Auckland might throw the match to get an easy semi final

[Bovidae]

Auckland will have to beat Canterbury or they could consign NH to relegation. The loser of BOP vs NH can still be in trouble.

I am assuming Wellington is good enough to beat the Poo.
