    I don't think I'll ever take anything rugbypass has to offer seriously after reading the players to watch and team of the week stories.

    You've just come to this conclusion now? Did you never come across their Super rugby rankings?

      Are they even local writers? I won't use "journalist".

      I only read the occasional RugbyPass article posted here, but I am not familiar with the majority of the names.

            An ok news source. Poor opinion source.

            I presume they are still owned by Sky NZ? They purchased the site a few years ago

              Their player rating system is the worst

              eg best blindsides in SRA

                  Number 5 seems out of place, did they mix him up with Prinsep?

                        Those odds are not in the slightest bit realistic. The TAB bookmakers could easily quote the Hurricanes at 950000.00 and would not lose any sleep even if a million dollar bet came in for the Hurricanes.

                          Same for Chiefs or landers, Crusaders or maybe blues

                            Three games into SRA and this looks to me like the pecking order.

                            1. Crusaders (Favourites for the title once again)

                            2. = Blues/Highlanders (The battle to make the final, the Blues could even challenge for the title if their gun players get going)

                            3. Daylight

                            4. Daylight's siblings

                            5. Daylight's cousins

                            6. Daylights's friends

                            7. Daylight's acquaintances

                            8. People Daylight once met

                            9. People Daylight has heard of but never met.

                            10. = A tight battle between the Chiefs and Hurricanes to avoid last place.

                              @sparky think you're probably jumping the gun a bit there. Chiefs first game, Crusaders weren't exactly slick, Blues are likely to only get better...

                                  10. = A tight battle between the Chiefs and Hurricanes to avoid last place.

                                  The Canes will have to be particularly bad to be as bad as the Chiefs.

                                    @sparky think you're probably jumping the gun a bit there. Chiefs first game, Crusaders weren't exactly slick, Blues are likely to only get better...

                                    It’s the Blues title to lose...

                                    Crusaders have never had to put up with anything as awful as not being able to go home. This will strengthen the blues massively. I see a pact coming...

                                        @bones Earthquake (no home games). Terrorist attack. Sounds more awful to me.
