National Championships PJ Super Comp final day today, and realistically the Joker-boosted Mighty Blues the only team in with a chance of toppling the Kauri Kats. 
Some would say the Turbos are also in with a chance, courtesy of their Joker-play.
Can't see it myself ...not against the Hurricanes.
Much will depend on the Kauri Kats themselves being run over by the Chiefs. That is very likely to happen.
Kauri Kats have been very hit-and-miss this campaign ...with a lot more misses than hits. But ya can't argue with the 10-point Joker haul that they dragged in last Saturday..proving that yes indeed every dog does have its day. Kauri Kats' day was last Satur - day, and the Mighty Blues day is this day to -day. 
Mighty Blues ready to run right over the top of this thing today. 
Go the Mighty City of Sails !

"Kauri Kats have been very hit-and-miss this campaign ...with a lot more misses than hits."

KKs and Canes are the only sides to have scored 0pts in just one of the 6 rounds so far...

pressure now on the Joker-playing teams to score 8 or 10pts and hope the KKs score less than 2pts.

Twill certainly be a fitting finale to a very closely contested Comp, Howie. Go well!

Kauri Kats 1 2 1 0 2 10 16
Blues  0 1 2 5 3 0 11
Steelers 3 2 0 0 4 2 11
Hurricanes               2 2 2 3 0 2 11
Ferdies 0 2 2 0 3 4 11
Turbos 2 0 2 4 0 1 9
Chiefs 2 1 0 5 0 0 8
Crusaders 2 3 1 0 0 0 6

Our Mighty Blues public expects ......and our Mighty Blues public is getting.
5 tipping geniuses at the helm this weekend..Geoff, Pete, Roland, Gordy, Howie .....to steer the good ship Mighty Blues home to championship glory !  
Let's not quibble over details, vS ..... we're needing you to grasp the wider picture. 😄

Judging by the photo, Kauri Kats aren't looking on today with any sort of fondness. 🙂

Mate, this might come as a surprise but the Hurricanes and Turbos have each team with the same collective selections so one of them is going to win 5-zip. The Hurricanes can take 5 points maximum while the Turbos can take 10 !!

Hurricanes maybe beaten 0-10   ?
That really would make history.

And what sort of send-off would that be for John on his final day ? 🤢

After the last round, It was fairly obvious that the Canes would go all out to get their 5 points. In desperate times the only way to do that is to have common team picks. They have a history of it. Who can blame them? They're not here to pick up a silver or bronze ribbon. 

Turbos discussed how we could combat this. In the end we came up with an old school strategy: fight fire with fire! A great way to finish the season.

Very smart move by the Turbos!

We're still at very long odds - need to win, need a team profit, needs the Kats to earn no points and the need the Blues to earn less than 3 points.  Can't see it happening but nothing ventured ......

Well we just got a great start
