Came here expecting to see lots of posts congratulating me on my excellent performance - I'm disappointed.
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

Get your tips in now.

@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.

For the final time in Super Rugby Aotearoa, it is your time to tip.
Still all to play for (except for those that don't have anything to play for)

Had a peek at the tips from the top 4. This could get interesting. All four have gone for the same first tip and quite close on points/tries. For the second game the top 2 have gone for a close one with the next two going for 9-16 (all for the same winner). Again the points/tries are similar but different enough that they could make a difference.
Could be a very close scoreboard at the end of this or we all have it wrong and someone will come storming up the ladder and zooming past. -
@crucial Thanks for the tips. I might go the direct opposite and hope for two upsets. No chance in hell in winning if I pick basically the same as those ahead of me on the table (and that's plenty this year). I have to decide whether to possibly crash and burn (or come out in a blaze of glory) or to maintain my current position. Decisions decisions...........

I usually try that approach about half way through the comp. good luck.

@crucial You could have ensured your maiden Cup Victory simply by mirroring J77s tips which came in before yours!!!!!! Good luck anyway in defending you seven point half time lead.
Nah. Played fair on that one. Tipped first then looked.
