what really?....baring and maybe including this year a crusaders game is a certain loss!
i agree with the other points though, try and schedule some games better to align with things like public holidays, try and do derby on Saturdays so people have time to travel there and back etc

I'd rather lose to the Crusaders every year, but with a guaranteed home game, than getting a false record because we beat MP.
Rivalries are what makes competitions, but it is hard to build a rivalry without consistently playing them... Have been to 10/11 of our last home games against the Crusaders (darn COVID) and we've only won three of them, but the amount of joy you get from those wins, is so far clear of winning every year against MP etc.

i'll get back too you after we play them
i use to complain the highlander never played in Melbourne, i think there was a 4-5 year gap...then we've played here the last few...and lost...and its not fun!

I'm sure next year with 11 teams, so no byes, we can do a full home and away
Wouldn't be so sure just yet.

That would take 22 weeks (+3 for the finals)... seems unlikely. The current season is 15 weeks.

Super still has a quality problem. 5/6 games this weekend have a favourite at $1.26 or better. It's not that competitie, and usually doesn't matter

Betting Odds aren't always the best judge of competitiveness (Go look at the NRL this week, hardly much better.
Also keep in mind, that 3/4 are at home, against 11th, 12th and a side who has never won an away game.

Fun fact of the day: Only one play with 250+ minutes in Super Rugby this season has a 100% tackle completion (According to Opta)... can you name him?

That was always going to happen, AR still have the licence so it is moot.

Good to see. What I find interesting about using the SkyGo this year is that when I open the app it always defaults to the Warriors or NRL. Not sure if anyone else has that.

@Canes4life is our top of the table ranking dependent on us winning in Auckland next weekend?
@canefan I’ve got us winning in Auckland but losing in Waikato. Just a gut feeling. I feel like we’ll win one of those games so either or.
My reason for the Canes beating the Blues is I think the forwards will cancel each other out. I had the Canes and Blues backs pretty square as well but now with Reiko Ioane ruled out that sways it towards the Canes for me.
If I had to match up both teams for that game by position it would be as follows:
Props: adv Canes
Hooker: adv Blues
Locks: adv Blues
Loose forwards: adv Canes
Halfback: adv Canes
First five: adv Blues
Centres: adv Canes
Outsides: even
