Is there a response sheet for this week?

[Tim]

@tim It's appended to the end of the most recent response sheet.

[taniwharugby]

this weeks guessing/tipping sucks!

[KiwiPie]

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.

@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.

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.

[KiwiPie]

@crucial If you're going to lose, go down in a blaze of glory and pick Southland to win twice and Otago to take the Shield.

[KiwiPie]

It's the final week of TSF Tipping for 2018. After today, you can put your feet up until February.

Almost everyone went Auckland 17+ so no real change - except Fiamacho tipped late and effectively has removed himself from the contest and Tim moves into 4th spot.
