It means that there is very little at stake on these games other than possible home advantage being decided down the track. Canterbury lost. So f**king what. None of the big sides will EVER miss the quarter-finals, short of absolute and total disaster, making the round robin stages a pretty big yawn, and meaning that even if you have a really crappy season, three wins at the end and you champs.
Some jeopardy is definitely needed here.
Agreed – at best, there may be ONE interesting 1/4 final.
The funny thing is if you hold a season ticket at Eden Park, you do not get access to a 1/4 or semi final – you have to buy your ticket back.
Should be a massive turnout if Akld were to play Southland for example – too far for the Southerners to travel up for a quarter final, and with no season ticket holders there, watch for a crowd turnout of 5000.
