    Their player rating system is the worst

    eg best blindsides in SRA

    Number 5 seems out of place, did they mix him up with Prinsep?

          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...

                                      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.

                                          Not sure what the answer is to that beyond the other teams upping their games.
                                          The Crusaders were were winning even with the SA and Australian teams involved.
                                          As I mentioned before Auckland were murdering teams by 30 to 50 points and holding onto to the Ranfurly Shield for years on end.in the 1980s
                                          Canterbury were getting thrashed by 50 every time.
                                          A few people within Canterbury decided they had to restructure and go up levels to meet Auckland the crusaders were born out of those times
                                          Deans,Smith etc were in the for front of that.
                                          Even the Crusaders were dead last the first year of SR
