Hesi Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 In ya dreams Howie, we were just letting you Blues pretenders keep our champions seat warm for a short period, so don't let it go to your head. You guys were good, but form is temporary, class permanent 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Congrats to the Canes, holding on for a narrow win today, and well done on qualifying for the playoffs. Even if we'd squeaked home against you today, we KKs wouldn't have got near qualifying. Plenty of wuffies winning in Oz so we had our chances! Well done, Ferdies, Chiefs and minor Premiers the Mighty Blues. (Howie, don't go the early crow, mate!) John, you did a fab job covering for PJ - much appreciated by us all. Heads high, though, Kittykats, no-one got an easy ride against us ...we just came up short a couple of times in a short-ish comp! Never mind. captain Max was honoured to lead the team -Jen, Sharne, Graeme and Rocky - and we're all looking forward to the Draft Comp in a few short weeks. Take good care of yourselves in the meantime. MM Edited February 22, 2020 by Maximus 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Caller Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 As a neutral, it's been a "super comp" and some of the results have been interesting. Shame to see the Crusaders miss the semis as I was looking forward to Roberts pre noms selections this week!😁 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Lomu,s these days ! I appreciate that Alan (Hesi)'s late great run yesterday got the Hurricanes home in a nail-biting finish ...... but ...... serious question ........ will Alan be in the starting line-up for the 'Canes next Saturday ? ... or will he be a bench-warmer ? 😊. Serious question ... but with a smiley face. It's just that being semis time it will be advantageous to the 'Canes to put sentiment aside and put out their best 5 if they're gonna have any chance of matching motors with the Minor Premiership winners. Just trying to be helpful. 😄 Anyways ...there's nothing to be sneezed at coming off the bench when various Hurricanes alumni start to fade as the Mighty Blues go into overdrive close to home, Just saying. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 22-1 shot in the opener will give Maurice plenty to do anyway, but I wouldn't be surprised if Maurice is up to the task. A long way to go.

PWJ Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 In the next: Ferdies can pull one back with Sasanof's Hero. Ohceedee & Swords Drawn and go ahead with Jip Jip Rock Chiefs can double their lead with Crafty Jess, Beauty Star, The Rebel Knight or Iron Eagle.

Revised Race 1 dividends will be reflected in next result. Sub ran 2nd so late scratching didn't help anyone. Good spot, John. I was wondering who'd be awake to that ?
