@taniwharugby All good.
Looks like a real battle between yours truly and Justin77 in the Cup Final with pretty much identical tips with the exception of the BoP V HB game so it looks like whoever is victorious in that match will determine where the Cup ends up. -

@KiwiPie with the high probability of a 3rd team sitting on a donut at the end of this round, I wonder if that is some kind of 'record'?

Were you thinking it would be Northland? Counties almost did it but failed - which annoyed me as I had them as low scorer.

It is all big home wins so far - plenty with 5 from 5 and Hydro11 the best score with 45.

All scores on doors updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ Just 2 more weeks then you can kick back for summer.
Best of the weekend was FarNthHayden with an excellent 64 on a weekend when the margins tended to blow out unexpectedly. He picked both category picks for an extra 10 as did Hydro11 who was 2nd with 62. FarNthHayden picked 7 from 7 results, one of only 4 to do it, the others were Justin77, Gunner and Dogmeat - who still managed to be in the bottom half for scores without a single margin picked.
Overall, it is tighter than ever at the top and we're set for a close finish. Propsicle now shares the lead with Winger by a single point from Bay Imports - but TR down in 14th is only 19 off the lead so one good week can get any of the top 14 into contention.
The play-offs all went to form and so it is the top 2 on the table, Wellington and Wairarapa Bush in the 2-legged final starting this weekend. Wellington were comfortable against the South Island but the Bush won by just a point from Hawke's Bay. Northland had the highest score to easily beat Harbour-Auckland who played a player short as did BOP who lost narrowly to Counties-Waikato.
Higgins won the TSF Cup by just 3 points from Justin77 - in the end it came down to margins with J77 unable to nail enough of those home team blowouts.

Just a week to go and Winger takes a 2 point lead into it with Bay Imports in 2nd and he is 4 ahead of Propsicle and Victor. Hooroo and Higgins are 4 further back and maybe it is too much ground for anyone below these to make up. Best for th weekend were Hooroo, Hydro11, FarNthHayden & Caprice with 59 points although their gain was not great as 21 people scored 50 or more. FNH was the only picker to get 7 from 7 but didn't get a category pick.
If next week is that predictable, it will come down to margins and those category picks to decide the winner.
The first leg scores were also predictable with the top seeds all winning. Wellington take just a point advantage into the 2nd game while the other leads are more comfortable.
Wellington 53 - 52 Wairarapa Bush
Hawke's Bay 48 - 44 South Island
Northland 49 - 40 Counties-Waikato
BOP 47 - 44 Harbour-Auckland

Get your tips in for the grand finale. All to play for with Wellington having a single point lead over the Bush and Winger a 2 point lead on Bay Imports.
For other bragging rights awards Stagazer and Winger lead the "most margins tipped" ahead of Tim and Hydro11 by 1.
Most results picked is a 5 way tie with Bay Imports, Buck, Victor, Canes4life and Winger - 77% success.
-
Not much change at the top as all of the top 10 missed the 9-16 margin ... except Hooroo who is now only 7 off the lead although still back in 5th. The Bush draw level with Wellington in the final. All the leaders went BOP as top scorers (very unlikely) and Southland as low scorers (still possible) so that won't change much in the table.
