Hurricanes in the 80th

Kryten · 23rd February 2007, 22:20

Dear Hurricanes,

I am 32 years old. I do not need to die of heart failure.

Thank you.

PS Was all prepared to blame a loss on Rince for wearing his Hurricanes jersey to work today, but it turns out that might be a *good* thing.

caffiend · 23rd February 2007, 23:07

Well, I must've been wrong about the points. He definitely had 100+ points and was ranked at #105. I saw it, so it must be the troof.

Frickin' 'Canes. Jebus...

wugambino · 23rd February 2007, 23:50

fucking hurricans , I think I aged 4 years whatching that fucking game

blynk · 25th February 2007, 09:18

Noooo, I was so close to have a perfect round. Only got the force V Lions game wrong (if only they had of missed a conversion), and the margin of the hurricanes game.

Oh well, 37/48 is pretty good.

wugambino · 25th February 2007, 09:23

I got them all bar the force game to , also missed the margins in the blues and crusaders games.

was so happy when the stomers scored in the last minute lol

Rince · 25th February 2007, 10:04

37 for me too (I think - bit tired so my adding is fucked)
missed teh Force game

and got the margin wrong for teh Saders

Ezekiel 25:17 · 25th February 2007, 13:49

God damn 'Canes... just lose ffs!! And I REALLY have to stop backing the chiefs to ever win. 4 games in a row... but I know the second I stop they'll win one.

*pulls hair out*

blynk · 25th February 2007, 15:14

Yeah, I backed occasional back the chiefs, but they have just gone over to SA, where the don't do too well.
Highlanders came back to the house of pain, good time to pick them.
All oz teams suck at the moment, pick against them (I didnt with the force and it backfired)

wugambino · 25th February 2007, 18:03

nw Rince you are getting quite a lead there , with age obviously comes wisdom

Clay · 25th February 2007, 18:28

It won't last, the pressure will get to Rince at the end

chiQ · 25th February 2007, 19:32

I got 29 again! This is getting boring

markE · 25th February 2007, 21:55

http://www.telecomvirtualrugby.co.nz/TopSchools.aspx at least my shcool is number 1

31 for me. I was sure the force would do the Lions in.

caffiend · 25th February 2007, 22:06

34 pts for me :/

Macca@Work · 26th February 2007, 10:07

Rincey is storming ahead..
and chiQ your way ahead of me so you're doing ok

markE · 28th February 2007, 22:00

Toughest pic this week Cheetahs V Crusaders

caffiend · 28th February 2007, 23:55

^^^ Err... wasn't that last week? And the Crusaders laid down the smack? Crusaders play Sharks away this week.

Simon · 3rd March 2007, 14:20

Sweet zombie Jesus, what the hell is wrong with the Chiefs? They're the 2006 Force.

wugambino · 3rd March 2007, 22:55

2 draws and the canes loose , this is going to be a shocker of a week for me :|

Rince · 4th March 2007, 10:11

16 points for me I think.....
Blues & Lions correct, everything else fucked

wugambino · 4th March 2007, 11:03

13 points for me , got the blues but the wrong margin .. only got the sharks right.

Ezekiel 25:17 · 4th March 2007, 11:13

24 points. Good week for me compared to my mates - should put me into first place I think.

p.s. tell me someone put money on the stormers! 16-1 odds. Would have been tidy.

Clay · 4th March 2007, 11:42

hahaha 5 points for me. useless fricken round

blynk · 4th March 2007, 12:00

Same with me. What a shitter of a week.

Rince · 4th March 2007, 17:36

still doing alright overall: "You have 158 points, and you're ranked in position 178 out of 154,173 players."

guy at work got 40 points! picked one of the draws, & bulls over teh brumbies & the sharks over the crusaders.... but then again he's the same person who confirmed the eketahuna translation in this thread.... but he didn't back the stormers.

chiQ · 4th March 2007, 19:15

Oh man, at least I didn't get 29, I guess...

Shock · 4th March 2007, 22:19

Another stunning round from me with a grand total of 8.

caffiend · 5th March 2007, 00:21

Exactly the same as Rince for me - even down to which teams came through.
Ranked 36,896th :/

Stuck with them for the first 3 weeks but then went with the form but who's going to bick a fucking draw??? Probably going to be their best result all fucking year

.

Warriors mk2.... Waikato <> Chiefs.

Didn’t realise I was this bitter.....at least the Crusaders fucked up and scored me some extra points.

buckies · 5th March 2007, 21:40

Ahoy there,

I do TAB as opposed to your virtual league, but i fcertainly feel your grief and disappointment, only on a slightly magnified scale due to the monetary loss that goes with such vicious upsets and stupid draws!!@!@!

I had a strong gut feeling that the Hurricanes would lose, but my head said otherwise. The backline has looked stagnant and flat all season, and the wins have been lucky to say the least. I did a multi of Blues 13+, Hurricanes 13+, Brumbies 12-, Reds 12-, Sharks 12 -, how wrong was I! Thought the Hurricanes, Blues and Sharks were all safe bets, and that the brumbies and reds were the only leftfield punts.

What are people banking on this weekend? To get the ball rolling i'm thinking:

Blues/Lions: Blues 13
Highlanders/Reds: Highlanders 12-
Brumbies/Stormers: Brumbies 12-
W Force/ Hurricanes: Hurricanes ??? - i'm definitely not betting on this one with confidence.
Waratahs/ Bulls: Bulls 12-
Cheetahs/ Sharks: Sharks 13+

Would appreciate some suggestions by those who have found success in the virtual pools.

blynk · 5th March 2007, 22:14

This week, I have a feeling it will be all the home teams, with just about all going 13+

buckies · 6th March 2007, 11:12

Cheetahs have home adv. over the sharks but you surely wouldn't back them for the win.

Waratahs/Bulls seems to be the most dubious matchup in terms of picking a winner, let alone a margin.

Hurricanes/Force should be all Hurricanes, especially considering the Force have never won at home. But again, the Hurricanes' unpredictability means any result could pan out and it would fail to surprise me.

caffiend · 10th March 2007, 01:00

Maximum points for me from today's 2 x games. Sweet - should be a jump up the ranks.

blynk - nicely picked

blynk · 10th March 2007, 09:52

I didn't actually pick 13+ home team for all games.
I changed the Brumbies game to 13+ last minute, because I read they were going to attack hard in the game.
I also had Hurricanes to win, and Warratahs only by 12-.
So its only 16/24 at the mo
