@Bones As in - odds in NZ favor NZ teams?
Checking international sites - it's pretty much the same.
Pretty sad indictment on Oz teams, and an impressive reputation for the dockers. -
@Kruse that is interesting. Odds don't necessarily reflect the actual likelihood though do they? Just the best way for the agency to make money. I have zero idea on sports betting though so likely wrong.

I understand the chat about Jaguares etc, just feels like we kicking over Rebels carcass before it dead though.
The way the Rebels are playing, I think they know they are dead men mauling!

@Canes4life I certainly wouldn't have picked that the highlanders are nigh on the worst in scrums and lose 3 in 10.
@Bones I thought the Canes would have been a bit better than 83% aswell. I feel like most teams would strive to be around that 90% mark but some of the rulings are inconsistent these days so it's hard to be perfect.

From Mark Robinson
“Super Rugby certainly has been amazing. We’ve just had an update from Sky around broadcast numbers and, as an example, round 4 in comparison with last year was up 25%. So we’re sensing overall viewership is strong, and sentiment around the competition is positive -
@Bones said in Super Rugby 2024:
Saders in good company. On course to make the final.
In 2025.
I was sure there were 5 NZ teams...
@Machpants the Hurricanes have never stooped this low.

The Hurricanes are the very definition of "mid"
Just so very average. No startling failures, only 1 success. Year after year after year of just being "okay, i guess"
The vanilla ice cream of Super Rugby teams.
-
probably still better than us
normally below average. several startling failures, only 1 success. Year after year after year of just being "okay, i guess compared to aussie teams"

@mariner4life Blues? Chiefs? Crusaders?

oh the Blues are for sure KFC. Every time, every fucking time you think it's gonna be amazing. And then it disappoints you, and you sorta feel sick after.

I disagree with the vanilla analogy. Over the years we have played some of the most exciting backline rugby of any team. Of course we had our down years. But I think our lack of solid tight 5 and quality 10, and our mental inconsistency have been our Achilles heel
