8-10ish games normally gets teams into the playoffs, so we're definitely on track. Best/ consistent Hurricanes team to ever play tbh, so it's right to be hopeful. As I say though, against the Stormers next week should be a goody. The end of our season will be tough too. Might actually travel down for the game tbh if it's meant to be a nice night.
On paper we've always had a "good team" however this year we're actually living up to our potential. Milner-Skudder (one I told you to watch out for) is really fitting in well. He had a blinder the last 10 mins he played tonight, in actual fact every game he has played this year has been good.
Yeah as I said 50/50 game that I thought could go either way. Tipped the Reds based on home advantage only tbh.
I wouldn't like to call it yet - look back at Andre Taylor, amazing campaign then the next season everyone sussed him out and he couldn't make nearly anywhere near the amount of runs/ breaks he did. He's look like a good solid asset for us though, I'll say that. Love our back depth.
Yes I wouldn't rule them out completely. The Tahs haven't exactly played to their potential yet (nor have the Blues obv) but if the Blues actually step up then it's somewhat possible. They'll just have to catch the Tahs on an off night and capitalise. Stranger things have happened but the Tahs are favourites and for good reason.
