TSF Mitre 10 Cup Tipping 2018
-
All tables updated at
and the new tipping sheet is online.
If you weren't scoring high 50s or more this week you were falling back as 13 people picked all 8 from 8. Best of the bunch were Hydro11 and Crucial with 64 with Langakali, Higgins, Tim and Buck also 60+. Early leader Stargazer has been hauled in and Langakali now leads by 4 from Higgins with Stargazer a point back and Fiamacho 10 back from him.
There is a gaggle of players behind who are within an outstanding week of being in contention so it's looking to be a close finish with 3 rounds to go.
The top 4 looks set now with Hawke's Bay winning the battle of the bays against a BOP team as woeful as the real team. With just the poor South Island to play, they need just a point to seal the play-offs. Northland lost their first game of the season to Wellington meaning the minor premiership is still up for grabs.
In the Cup, the semi-finals are between Crucial and Plastered Peni and Donsteppa and Tim.

@kiwipie TBF, I really think this season there are only 2 maybe 4 at a push, quality sides running about in both comps; Auckland, Ta$man and Wellington, even Cantabs are poor by thier standards.
Everyone else has had thier moments in the sun, coupled with some absolute shite.

Apologies for the useless "of Plenty" - all but 3 failed on that game. Luckily the pessimistic view of Bay Imports means he was one of the 3 and is also the only player on maximum points after 2 games.
He's more sensible then me, I was worried, but went with the heart instead...

The trouble is, when I worked out all the scores, Bay Imports had made a later submission and switched his pick to BOP ....

It is all up to date here https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ plus you can already tip the final week of tipping for the year.
Not much variation in the scores as a few picked 8/8 and the majority had 7/8. A week when you needed to get your margins correct for the top score and Corkscrew picked 6 of the 8 margins to rake in 65 with DK, Fiamacho & Triple T also 60+.
Fiamacho gained some ground on the leaders but is still in 4th, 8 behind leader Langakali who leads by 4 from Stargazer with Higgins in 3rd. Looks like it is between those 4 unless Tim can score huge - he is 5th 16 behind the leader.
It was as close as it could be between Northland and Hawke's Bay in the 1st semi-final. 53-53 and both teams scored 266 points in total. There had to be a winner so I gave it to Northland due to more correct margins (16-15) or because they finished higher on the ladder (take your pick!).
The other one was also a close battle, Wellington beating Wairarapa Bush 57-56. So Northland will play Wellington in the final, Wellington going for their first title since 2014, Northland their first since 2008.
Finally in the TSF Cup, Crucial rose to the big occasion by posting one of the worst scores of the weekend and Tim takes a 16 point lead into the second leg.

I have taken lots of notes this weekend on how to engineer a comeback win. Currently waiting on a phone call from Cheika before putting in this weeks tips.
