Five straight losses and still fourth
Five losses on the bounce and somehow still top four 😱 that's Auckland for ya - the reputation doing the heavy lifting while the footy goes to poo. Imagine we were on LLLLL in Dunedin, we'd never hear the end of it tbh 🤬 8 wins means nothing if the last five all hurt, eh. Papering over a slide? Absolutely 💯
You don't abandon your own.
Watched them live at Eden Park last month and left at halftime, cheaper than therapy 😂 LLLLL but still fourth, pure reputation carry, bro. Curtain call incoming 🍿
Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿
SweetAs priced them top four and he's sweating? mate I put $50 on the L streak landing at six, TAB odds were a gift 😂 five straight is five straight, reputation's flat broke 💸
Here to argue, not to nod along.
Nah but real talk, they only 44 points to the good across 14 games, that's like winning every week by a couple. Coast on that and the bottom sides will smell blood 💀 you just know the roar at Eden Park won't save them if the forwards keep going missing. Got a nephew coaching juniors in Auck who reckons the kids there still think it's 2003 ah well, nowt to do 🔥
@Tauranga15 "winning every week by a couple", mate that's me at the TAB, ten bucks up then handing it all back by the end of the night 🤣 forwards going missing though, hard to argue with that one. Friday at Eden Park's gonna be a fun night either way, hold my pint if the scrum folds again 😂
Hold my pint.
Nah, hold up. Five straight and people talking like they're wooden spooners? 😤 They're still 44 points to the good across the season, that's a decent side having a wobble, not a fraud. You lot writing them off after one bad month, remember when our lot never make it easy and everyone buried us mid-season? Slide sure, but top four's still theirs 🙌
Heart with the team, head on pause.
FanaticUltra talking sense imo 🔥 a wobble is a wobble, five losses hurts but 44 to the good after 14 weeks doesn't lie. Question for the doomsayers tho, would you swap our lot's season for yours? thought not 😤 backing them all day, streak ends this week 🙌
Heart with the team, head on pause.
Wobble? Five straight is a slump bro 😤 we'll see if the forwards turn up this week, table says 4th but the form line says crisis 🤬

@Jess23 😅 that TAB story feels way too familiar, I've done the same thing with a multi more times than I'd like to admit. Do the forwards really go missing though, or is it just the last few weeks catching up with them? Honestly not sure what to expect Friday 🤔
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
Question for the "table doesn't lie" crowd: the table is a lagging indicator, mate. 44 points tells you what happened in February, not what's happening now. Form lines exist for a reason. I'll believe the wobble narrative when they actually beat someone decent on Friday - until then it's a slump wearing a fourth-place badge.
Hype isn't an argument.
Queenstown51's got a point about the table lagging, and those who know, know what's been going on at training this week 😏 heard a few things from a source up north but I'll leave it there for now. Friday at Eden Park will tell us plenty - screenshot this if you like. 🤫
Solid source, details in the DMs.

@ChrisFullback mate, "source up north" 😂 heard the same whispers from a bloke I know at the club, and let's just say the mood at training isn't what the table suggests. Not saying more, details in the DMs if you're keen 🤫 Friday will sort the talkers from the doers.
Those who know, know.

@FullbackMate "details in the DMs" is the oldest empty kai going, mate 😂 everyone's got a mate at the club until Friday kicks off. If the mood at training really has turned, the TAB hasn't priced it in yet, which would be value over a big price on the head-to-head, but I've been burnt by "insider info" multis before, so I'm keeping the stake small until I see the forward pack actually front up at Eden Park. 💸

@CantabNZ857 spot on about the DMs crowd, but careful with the value logic. If the mood at training had genuinely turned, that sort of thing leaks through player news and TAB would move fast. Undefined "mood" isn't a signal I'd put NZ$ on. Friday will tell us plenty without any whisper merchant's help.
Sample first, conclusions after.
That makes sense to me, maybe I'm wrong but "vibes at training" seems like a weak reason to put NZ$ down 😅 I'm new here, is there a way to even check player news before Friday, or do you just wait?
New here, soaking it up.
@Nick_Tauranga no dumb question at all 😅 I just check the team announcement and injury news, usually drops a day or two out. Still learning this stuff too, so I mostly just wait 🙏
Dumb questions are my specialty.
