ziggy09 384 Report post Posted March 2, 2014 Disappointing 1 point loss for the Canes last Saturday. It's a must win this week at home (same for the Crusaders!) against the Brumbies and also the following week against the Cheetahs. Waratahs are looking the form team mind you they have done this several times only to fizzle out. This team looks a bit different though......big fella at the back is going OK too. I was impressed with the Rebels. They certainly franked their trial form with a dominant win against the Cheetahs. They could be a smokey later on.... Still the Chiefs IMO for another title.....they just know how to win in those tight games. Be "limited" viewing (in my house) from this week with the NRL kicking off Go the Canes!!!!

crustyngrizzly 1,323 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Auckland beating the Highlanders has everyone raving on about the blues having improved.Imyself think that they are both crap teams and in a game featuring 2 teams somebody had to win. The standard of rugby shown by all teams in the alleged SUPER 15 this year is rubbish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crustyngrizzly 1,323 Report post Posted May 11, 2014 Hearing Tony Brown whingeing on the radio this morning regarding a rule change that he wants made me puke.What are we coming to when you win a match and still bitch and moan.The fact that the Wholanders have won 6 matches this year tells you how strong the ''Toughest rugby competition in the world''.It's as weak as piddle.

eljay 979 Report post Posted May 20, 2014 Cat - hope you survive! Was there last week and the No.2 ground was as inviting as being in a desert in Antarctica in boardies. And believe it or not, they had about 5 or 6 security guys standing there to stop people going to the No.1 ground. Why - I'm stuffed if I know because there was no game being played there! Not even a Chippery or Soft Drink stall either. Had to make the trek to the Marist rooms if you wanted eats or drinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crustyngrizzly 1,323 Report post Posted May 30, 2014 I take issue with ''the rest of NZ'' For what it's worth i think rugby is no longer the one and only game in NZ.Iwas at Mt Maunganui a couple of weeks ago and there appeared to be more people surfing than there was watching the local rugby.

crustyngrizzly 1,323 Report post Posted June 1, 2014 Nigel Yalden,sports commentator and general sychophant of the NZRFU and also of the Chiefs may want to rewrite his column published in the Times on Saturday.He described the Chiefs as a 'dangerous beast'' and also mentioned that''they come together tighter when they have a chip on their shoulder''.As it has turned out that column turned out to be a load of sh.. ,as we expect from one eyed Yalden.

Kiah 13 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 Chiefs have most of their backline back this week and should knock Canes out of running. The form team is the Blues who are more than a good chance to hurt the misfiring Crusaders this week. That would result in a Chiefs Blues finale for a place in the finals. If the Reds do us all a favour and beat the Force this weekend - then the Force beat the Brumbies - we could get four NZ teams into the semis. Though all would be playing each other with two getting knocked out the following week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Safe bet is to go for the two home teams 12-. The Chiefs are at $1.65 and the Crusaders are at $1.35,which is far too small. Having said that I'll probably look at taking the Blues +12.5 at $1.55 in an alternative points start. The Chiefs/Canes game is too tough to call. I wouldn't be surprised though to see a Canes/Blues double!! Happy watching and happy punting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
