    @nepia This is the first I've come across them.

    Really? They've been frequently posted on here. 🙂

    Haven't noticed any of their dross previously.

    Those odds are not in the slightest bit realistic. The TAB bookmakers could easily quote the Hurricanes at 950000.00 and would not lose any sleep even if a million dollar bet came in for the Hurricanes.

    Same for Chiefs or landers, Crusaders or maybe blues

    Three games into SRA and this looks to me like the pecking order.

    1. Crusaders (Favourites for the title once again)

    2. = Blues/Highlanders (The battle to make the final, the Blues could even challenge for the title if their gun players get going)

    3. Daylight

    4. Daylight's siblings

    5. Daylight's cousins

    6. Daylights's friends

    7. Daylight's acquaintances

    8. People Daylight once met

    9. People Daylight has heard of but never met.

    10. = A tight battle between the Chiefs and Hurricanes to avoid last place.

    @sparky think you're probably jumping the gun a bit there. Chiefs first game, Crusaders weren't exactly slick, Blues are likely to only get better...

    The Canes will have to be particularly bad to be as bad as the Chiefs.

    Saders
    Blues
    Canes/Landers

    Chiefs

    Crusaders have never had to put up with anything as awful as not being able to go home. This will strengthen the blues massively. I see a pact coming...

    @bones Earthquake (no home games). Terrorist attack. Sounds more awful to me.

    @kiwimurph Yup. I only detect sarcasm when I can see someone's face and hear their voice. In writing, I miss quite a few.

    Looking more like a 3rd Rd of SR Aotearoa.I wouldn't have minded a different comp to freshen things up,But not unhappy with a 3rd Rd of a great comp.

    If the Saders win the third round at a canter, I think there will discussions about the viability of the product. I hope that the Blues can get an upset over them and at least keep it close, so that there is still interest in the format by that time.
