Come on, we can do another 9 commnets here… definately!
89 @ grootblousmile:
First time this season I get it spot on. Could I be like my Sharks 2012 and make a huge come back and get to the top? hehehehe.
The Blues started the season well but has deteriorated again… so much for their early run
92 @ Puma:
I made a great run last weekend… but alas this week my 1st one was wrong and my margins on the other 2 wrong
90 @ grootblousmile:
Would have had all wins this weekend so far, but of course the Landers letting me down again!
That is the 3rd time I picked them and the 3rd time they have let me down. Not sure to pick them after yesterday. Suppose the time I don’t they will win a damn game.
Is this now the Blues 3rd or 4th loss in a row?
93 @ grootblousmile:
Yes they did start well, but after the Bulls beat them, they went backwards from then on.
Well, it’s squarely between the Chiefs and Crusaders this year for the New Zealand Conference
96 @ grootblousmile:
How you see your Bulls going next?
Of course, the next match up will have ALL my interest… Brumbies vs Bulls from Canberra
99 @ Puma:
Bulls to lose by 7 PLUS
98 @ grootblousmile:
Sure is. Though if Saders lose today and next week it will be hard to catch the Chiefs. Hope Stormers beat them and my Sharks. Then we send them home without a win…..lol.
Shall we mosey on over to the Bulls thread, please!
101 @ grootblousmile:
You think? Why?
104 @ grootblousmile:
Okay see you there. We got this thread over a 100… 🙂
104 @ Puma:
Bulls have been disapointing on tour, bar the 1st game

Good plan Bulls kick the ball down a running Brumbies team throat
