Rogers claims they will win S12 this year.

[bayrep]

Has Rogers just cursed the Tahs chances in taking their first S12 final ?? Rogers has come out in the SMH claiming that the Tahs will win it this year which smacks in the face of how the Tahs management who are looking at the comp in the public eye anyway as a week to week exercise.

The Tahs have Highlanders this weekend which they could lose. The Reds at home next week which they tend to lose and then face the Blues in the final round robin which they can win but the Blues are coming right at the right end of the season. So 3 looses could see them miss out on a top 4 spot and miss the finals all together.

A top 4 place is basically guaranteed. Just don't want to play against the Crusaders in a semi.

They need to hold onto their place over the next 3 weeks to ensure they finish on top of the table and hopefully hold the final at Aussie stadium. They won't be able to win it away from home over in NZ.

He only said they are capable of winning this year didn't he?

He'd be a bit of a downer if he didn't think they could win.

The Highlanders are the form team of the comp right now and should beat the Warratahs! Personally i think the Warratahs ought to concentrate a little more cos unless they beat Highlanders they wont finish top and might probably end up running 4th. It's basically a certainty that there eventually going to make a trip to NZ and they most likely wont win.

cant see them loosing the next 3

it will be hard to see them losing a home final, but difficult to see them winning a final in NZ

go the Tahs

 

[choc_soldier]

The Tah's haven't imploded... yet. May not happen, but Rogers saying stuff like that is quite silly. But having said that, we definitely are capable of winning it this year.

Thrashing a shit team doesn't make you unbeatable... The Sharks have been smashed by most teams this season, I think it's just that now it's round 10 none of their players care anymore...

Other than that, the Tah's are now back ontop of the S12 table after smashing the highlanders (a team who had prio to this match had only lost 1 match this season!) 41-20 (5 tries to 2).

 

[Auckland4ever]

Not very patriotic of me, but I hope the Tahs win it this year. It'll be good for the comp. Very hard to look past the Crusaders, though.

 

[Polynesian Warrior]

I hope the Tahs win it this year or even the Bulls . The Bulls are playing some exciting rugby at the momemnt .

 

[Iafeta]

The Crusaders are home and hosed.

What other team can bring all time greats such as Andrew Mehrtens in from the bench?

 

[strong_latte]

I hope your wrong... I'm so bloody sick of the crusaders always being there. I seriously hope they get thumped by the Canes and lose their chance at a home semi.
This is one of the things that is so much better about the NRL.... in 10 years of S12 3 teams have won the comp. in the last 6 years of the NRL 6 teams have won!

The Hurricanes because we havent won jack sh*t in Wellington since the Lions lifted the npc trophy in 2000

as long as the naki don't get a super 12 game, they can lose thanks.

 

[ThrashViking]

They wernt given a home game because they got a poor turn out the last two matches the Canes have played in New Plymouth

 

[taipan]

The Waratahs are home and hosed ,to win the S12.Put your house on it.

The winner will be who gets the home final. With the crusaders only a point behind, if they qualify first NO team will stop them

 

[Corbin]

I really do hope they Smash Dan Carter...I can stand him!!!!! :x

Bring back Merterns!

Go the Canes vs the Crusaders!

if they don't give them the sharks or cats matches then it would get a lot more especially if its not a friday night game
