Tipping 2021
-
A day late sorry but everything is up to date now at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Not sure we've ever had a game where nearly everyone has gone Home 17+ and it ended Away 17+. Not many points from the Highlanders win unless you picked them to score 3 tries while being thrashed. Solid scoring for the Blues win unless of course you picked the Canes in which case you're probably one of those who scored in single figures.
Best of the weekend was Dogmeat with 41 who was almost spot on with the Blues game (and did get the Highlanders with 3 tries). 30 was a decent score for the weekend. A bit of shuffling of places at the top but Winger still leads by 12 from Kruse with Victor moving up to 3rd.
Worst of the weekend was Delicatessen with just 6, Yeetyaah and ACT Crusader scored 7 and 8.
The TSF Semi-Finals are played over 2 legs with the final being over the last 2 weekends of the regular season.

Time to tip if you haven't already.

I had an almost perfect week to score 71 and shoot to the top of the table, leading Victor by 8 who is a point ahead of previous leader Winger. DK scored 65 to rise to 4th just another point back from Winger, Plastered Peni 62 to move up to 5th. Mikedogz the other 60+ score, 63 but still back in 20th place.
In the Cup, semi-final first leg victories for J77, 36-28 against Mikey07 and for Crucial leading Victor 53-43.

Came here expecting to see lots of posts congratulating me on my excellent performance - I'm disappointed.
Given the progress of the Grumpy Old Man thread, you're probably lucky not to return to a "Get Off My Lawn" reply to your triumph

As someone who slipped from around 2nd to around 8th, would a politely voiced "fuck. you." suffice?
Something about cream rising to the top?

@kruse At least you only dropped one place to third in the Superbru.com contest, still led by yours truly I modestly point out, even after a bit of a toe stubbing this weekend.
For some reason I picked the Highlanders in Superbru - to be honest I thought I had gone Highlanders in TSF Tipping as well so it was a pleasant surprise when I hadn't!

Time to tip everyone - first game is tonight

The results are in and are broadcast https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
After last week took real skill to pick both games, this week was much more of a lottery - yeah right. Anyway Hurrycanes picked both games with margins to score 63 and top score by 15 and also hit the top of the table - 16 ahead with 2 weeks to go. With all games so tight, it is still all to play for though. If you picked 1/2 you had a decent week and went up in the table. Stockcar86 is up to 3rd, Crucial is up to 7th and Corkscrew and Donsteppa are up to 11th. Plenty picked neither game and fell accordingly.
J77 squeaked past Mikey07 by a single point and will play Crucial in the final of the TSF Cup - he thrashed Victor to get through. This weekend and next weekend count for the final.
Finally if you want to know who has scored the most 5 pointers for category picks - either picking the exact number of tries for a team or within 1 of a team's points total - here are the best so far

@kiwipie Sorry KP shouldn't have sent that last entry in, I thought I had the Crusader Blues match points wrong. Please keep the first entry. Been going through a bit of hell here. Sorry.

@joan-and-mary No problem - that entry was duly ignored!

The site is updated for Week 9 - next weekend is the final time you have to tip for Super Rugby Aotearoa 2021.
With the title in his hands, Hurrycanes chose to pick the Blues to win which has given everyone else some hope. He still leads but is only 4 ahead of me. Then it is Winger 2 points behind and another 7 down to Crucial in 4th. Nobody had both results and margins but a few were close with Crusaders 9-16 and Chiefs 1-8. One of those was Triple T who top scored with 59 and is up to 6th overall.
Crucial leads J77 52-45 in the TSF Cup Final. All to play for next week.
