TSF NPC Tipping 2022
-
Nobody picked 7/7 with not many picking Wellington or Otago to win. Kruse was the only one to get 6/7 but top scorer was Broughie who picked 5 games with correct margin to score 55. J77 scored 51 for 2nd best and is back into the lead overall by 2 from Crucial with Antipodean a further 10 behind. Donsteppa and Broughie complete the top 5.
In the teams comp there were wins for BOP, Northland, South Island and Wairarapa Bush. Bush win the minor premiership with 6 wins out of 7 with Counties Waikato 2nd and BOP 3rd. Harbour-Auckland squeak into the semi-finals by picking up bonus points and staying ahead of South Island by scoring one more point than them over the 7 matches.
In the Cup, Dice and TR won their replays over Winger and Sportboy to make the quarter-finals. Going through to the semis are J77 who will play Tim and Richie who will play Dice.

Just one week left of TSF Tipping and the best score of the weekend of Farnthhayden with 59 with 6/7 and 4 maximums. J77 still leads overall but his lead is just 5 over Donsteppa who had a good score of 49 who has jumped 3 ahead of Crucial. Broughie still in contention 13 off the lead and 5 ahead of Antipodean and Tim who are joint 5th. Special mention to Paj who posted the 2nd lowest score of the season with just 14.
The Cup final is between Tim and Richie who got past J77 and Dice in the semi-finals.
In the play-offs in the teams comp, Harbour-Auckland upset the minor premiers Wairarapa Bush by a point to make their first ever final. They will face reigning champions Counties-Waikato who scraped past a BOP side who played with only 4 on their biggest game of the season.

Big play made for the win.

Live scoring for the final weekend.
Top 10 - Broughie went for Ta$man to drop down but all the other leaders went HB 1-8
Teams - Counties-Waikato with the early lead in the final. DK picked Ta$man so Harbour-Auckland are 2 behind. Ferm stalwarts @BartMan & @dogmeat failed to turn up to the final - still time to make those picks.

@KiwiPie I was trying to establish some separation but it didn’t work. Plus if it one try would’ve been awarded would’ve been a different game. Off the knee is not a knock on.
I reckon you achieved some separation!

I like that Harbour v Southland score for my chances. Had them highest and lowest.
Early days yet.
I'm getting nervous, I dont think Ive been in the running for over a decade of this.I remember you almost won for Wellington or canes I think in the very first one. Maybe third.

Top 10 with 3 games to go
It could all hinge on Counties v Wellington as J77 has Counties to win so it is likely to be between he and Crucial dependent on the result of that game - unless Manawatu manage to score fewer than 8 points in which case Donsteppa still has a chance.

It's all over and the details are here https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Your NPC 2022 champion is ...... Crucial. With a season's best score of 69 (matched by Waynes World) he vaulted over J77 (2nd) and Donsteppa (3rd) to take the title. Dice scored 67 to take 4th with Higgins in 5th. The top 10 was rounded out by Tim, Waynes World, Broughie, Langakali & Winger.
Tim won the TSF Cup by beating Richie 56-49.
The champion team is Harbour-Auckland 57-54 against Counties-Waikato, the first time any Auckland based team has even made it into the final. Dice and Duluth with the decisive scores that made up for Dogmeat being absent. Not enough support for Crucial even with Bartman turning up eventually.
Thanks to everyone for taking part and especially those who tip every week and ensure that the teams comp is worth running. See you early in 2023 for Super Rugby Tipping.
