Listened John Hart on radio sport this morning,one thing that he said which I said from the time this squad was announced in November 2017 it was easily the weakest of the 5 squads based on the limited amount of movement of the other four franchises.

I've been saying this for ages, we always have one shit squad, it's often been the Chiefs in the past, the Highlanders in more recent years, and the Blues for the past few years.

However, I also said at the start of this season that I expected to see improvement (even if they don't magically make the finals) and that clearly isn't happening.

Really shitty weather. This could be a tiny crowd.

Anyone bold enough to make a match prediction? Not me. I honestly would not be surprised if either team thrashed the other one.

@duluth You should definitely get down to the TAB then, because the Jags are paying $3.15! πŸ™‚

Blues are paying $1.35.

I should as well, because I'm not sure about this one either, but I tend to think the Jaguares look a better team on paper and they're on a bit of a roll. But they're on the road and at Eden Park....

@nepia can’t argue you with you,those first 2 x games were winnable games and the injury toll was not what it is at the minute.

My thoughts exactly. Even the points start at Blues +8.5 is pretty good value.

@Chris-B @Milk

I agree the Blues are favourites.

Of course the Blues have been bookies favourites in 3 games this year where they've gone on to spectacularly shit the bed. Neither of these teams are reliable

On that 8.5 point head start. There's a lot of wind out there and there's more rain expected. So that's a higher line than it appears

Ahh crap, TJ is back commentating.

Rain and wind have been awful today. Conditions will be shit.

Ali Williams did a good job of defending supercoach in the build up...

And was rightly mocked for it.

Pryor lucky not to be pinged for not letting him up on the chase, but PArsons gets pinged anyway

Blues must be careful now, or they'll lose one player to the bin.

Stargazer

And Akira is the one to go ...

Kirwan

YC coming up. Looks like we are going to get a few drives tonight....

Stargazer

Try Augustin Creevy.

Kirwan

Lots of complaints there from the Blues, frustration
