    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.

    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?

    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 😞

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

    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.

    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.

    Nope always rugby for me, if something is on

    I've tried to do some crystal ball glazing with Super Rugby coming to the business end of the comp. Most teams are still in with a shot of the playoffs, therefore I have broken down what games each team has left and how many points I think they'll end up with.

    Hurricanes: currently 1st on 42 points
    Remaining games: Blues (A), MP (H), Chiefs (A), Highlanders (H)
    Predicted finish: 1st (57 points)


    Blues: currently 2nd on 41 points
    Remaining games: Hurricanes (H), Highlanders (H), Crusaders (A), Chiefs (H)
    Predicted finish: 2nd (55 points)


    Brumbies: currently 3rd on 35 points
    Remaining games: Waratahs (A), Crusaders (H), Rebels (H) Force (A)
    Predicted finish: 3rd (53 points)


    Chiefs: currently 4th on 33 points
    Remaining games: Moana (A), Rebels (A), Hurricanes (H), Blues (A)
    Predicted finish: 4th (48 points)


    Reds: currently 5th on 27 points
    Remaining games: Rebels (H), Drua (A), Force (H), Waratahs (A)
    Predicted finish: 5th (41 points)


    Rebels: currently 6th on 24 points
    Remaining games: Reds (A), Chiefs (H), Brumbies (A), Drua (A)
    Predicted finish: 8th (25 points)


    Highlanders: currently 7th on 19 points
    Remaining games: Crusaders (H), Blues (A), Drua (H), Hurricanes (A)
    Predicted finish: 9th (24 points)


    Fijian Drua: currently 8th on 17 points
    Remaining games: Force (A), Reds (H), Highlanders (A), Rebels (H)
    Predicted finish: 6th (27 points)


    Moana Pasifika: currently 9th on 14 points
    Remaining games: Chiefs (H), Hurricanes (A), Waratahs (H), Crusaders (A)
    Predicted finish: 11th (14 points)


    Crusaders: currently 10th (13 points)
    Remaining games: Highlanders (A), Brumbies (A), Blues (H), MP (H)
    Predicted finish: 10th (23 points)


    Waratahs: currently 11th (12 points)
    Remaining games: Brumbies (H), Force (A), MP (A), Reds (H)
    Predicted finish: 7th (26 points)


    Force: currently 12th (10 points)
    Remaining games: Drua (H), Waratahs (H), Reds (A), Brumbies (H)
    Predicted finish: 12th (14 points)

    Predicted final table after round 15

    1. Hurricanes
    2. Blues
    3. Brumbies
    4. Chiefs
    5. Reds
    6. Drua
    7. Waratahs
    8. Rebels
    9. Highlanders
    10. Crusaders
    11. Moana Pasifika
    12. Force
