SR Final - Blues v Chiefs
-
I think the Blues will be way too strong for the Chiefs. I think they will get a number of PKs at the scrum and will do well at lineout mauls. The backlines are about even and will cancel each other out.
I hope I am wrong as I live in Chiefs country now but I see this as Blues by 15-20 points and largely over by half time.

@Damo media are consistently picking against the Blues or a narrow Blues win.
I hope you're right! We should win if we play to our potential.

It could be close, Chiefs could get up if things go their way - anything can happen in sport.
However I don't know why people would be picking against the Blues. They have been good all year and won pretty convincingly against Chiefs only a few weeks ago.

So basically the media are saying either the Blues or the Chiefs will win. That's Fern level genius.

everywhere ive seen have been picking the blues
to be honest im not confidant of a win for the chiefs -
Let's just hope that we don't have a repeat of some of the comments against the ref that we saw last time. Some of the stuff from the Chiefs fans last year was pretty rabid.
I ended up with a bunch of it in my inbox. All forgiven and forgotten now but stay off the sauce this time lads.

A fair contest would be a good start. No marginal cards to take the tarnish off the winner (in the eyes of the losing fan base anyway) please

Blues plan - get DMac!!
They better not break him for the test season.

Beaudie would be at 10 after Finau destroys Plummer

Sheesh, don't make it worse.
(Unless of course 2016 BB appears this year).

Blues are hot favourites at the TAB. But the media seem determined to talk it up as a contest - you'd have to think th eBlues are favourites, and that it'll take a special performance for the Chiefs to get there. But hey, it's sport - ya never know.

@Damo this is the type of thinking that means Chiefs win by about 6

Form doesn't mean fuck all in a one-off final. Chiefs have the sting from last year, Blues have the weight of expectation which comes with the favourites tag.
Chiefs 13+
Mana too strong

Riccitelli, Akira, Plummer, Lam, Funaki to have huge games, making it even stupider come Monday...
It's the blues to lose really.

Agree, I think the Blues will be a step too far for the Chiefs. The Blues will erase their 21 year title draught tonight and will do what the Canes were too dumb to do last week and go straight through the middle of the Chiefs. Blues 1-12 though for me.
Will be interesting to see if Finau can put a few big shots on the Blues forwards.
