this guy has done a good job, well done 

but I would like to see phoenix take away absolutely nothing from this season...

This is a level of pettiness I'm on board with.

Yeah fuck em

2 draws and a loss against the Nix this season. We completely dominated the first 2, but didn't take our chances. The third game was probably more even, but they snatched a late winner. 

I think the Nix will be relying on more of the same. From a Vuck POV, I don't think they can beat us over 2 legs if we take our chances. I think they will park a bus on Sunday and we will try to blow them away.

If we go to Wellington with a lead, I reckon the expectation might get to them. The talk is that the cake tin will be a sell out. That's more pressure on them. 

I also think Brimmer will be a more than adequate replacement for Machach. 

Big test will be if it goes to a shootout. Before Sunday I would have confidently put my money on Paulsen, but after Izzo's performance on the weekend I reckon it might be pretty even.
