There hasn't been too much to celebrate if you are a Steamers fan this season.
They currently sit second from the bottom in the ITM Cup premiership competition and are in serious trouble of finding themselves being relegated to the championship division if they can't find that winning form.
It's only set to get worse, too, with the Bay travelling down to the capital to take on Wellington who currently sit in second place behind Auckland.
You'd have to be a real optimist to think the side can pull themselves out of the doldrums and salvage much from this season.
The only real glimmer of hope for the blue and gold and their fans is the opportunity of a possible Ranfurly Shield challenge.
