Would have taken WP -7.5. Happy with a single digit minus on WP.
Regarding the middle chasers. It's something I have never done and don't understand. 9 times out of 10 only one of your bets will come off and you make a small loss on the game. Not for me.

Province play a nice open game but Sharks have more experience in their squad in key positions. Against a top opponent the Natalians will lift their game and I don't see them losing this by much in tight tussle.
Goodluck to all the Province backers!

The Sharks won all their home games by 16 points and then almost lost against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. They beat the Lions easily in the rain which was very impressive.
WP beat the initial cap of -24 which I'm very happy about last weekend. They've been good value so far this Currie Cup.
WP was so far ahead at half time that it's no surprise that they went to sleep in the second half. I thought Griquas really played well by then but even then they struggled to score.
I can't see the Sharks staying close to WP to be honest. But I've been really bad at betting on the Sharks this year. I've been making money on WP and losing on the Sharks. When I back the Sharks they let me down and when I backed their opposition they played well.
It's going to be an interesting game.

Seems like I'm going to need the backing of South or hopefully Oracle to try and get a few more okes in the corner of the men in black and white.
If anything a play on unders on Sharks points is the better way to go since the WP defence was immense last week.
I can't wait to back the Natalians on the board at 2/1 once the RB and Hanrick money has inflated that price a bit more!

I capped the game at 6.5 and if pushed would go WP but if Sharks can repeat last weeks showing they could go close

Southpaw reporting for duty. I do love a good old WeeePeee Sharks debate. Can see why WP -3 was the early value given later prices, but for me Sharks +10.5 @ 5/6 an absolute gift, just helped myself to that @ Sunbet.

My lines for this week
Hawke’s Bay v Northland PK
Bay of Plenty v Manawatu -9.5
Auckland v Otago (DH) -17.5
Waikato v Southland (RS / DH) -27.5
Taranaki v North Harbour (DH) 13.5
Wellington v Tasman -4.5
Canterbury v Hawke’s Bay (DH) -18.5
Counties Manukau v Northland 6.5
Im closeish with the bookies except Naki V Harbour they have Naki as a -4.5 Favorite. Still a little perplexed by that. Perhaps I'm missing something, but its looking like ill punish that line this weekend.

Very similar to my ratings, except for Taranaki's performance last week holding Aukland to 1 in high scoring game. Improving side with home advantage gets my attention...

I like the Turbos too, to me looks like their strongest line up for some weeks.
Although not as confident as you, so have taken the +5

WP -3 was value as was the Sharks +10.5

Liked both of these before the lineups released.
See that both Scarlets and Dragons are resting some players.

Southland V Waikato will be a shield game so previous form goes out the window. In this shithole of a season being the whipping boys of the mitre 10 cup. If they win this game it will make there season even if they win nothing else. If they win this game it will probably make up for the last 3 or 4 seasons. Ranfurley Shield just has an aura about it in grass roots NZ rugby. You have to believe they will put on their best performance of the season here.
Harbour V Naki This lines just wrong guys. Like really wrong. ........
