@Stockcar86 Think you were in the Hurricanes Black team so calling out the likes of defending individual champ @hydro11 along with stalwarts @hurrycanes @mikey07 @Cactus-Jack @Paj @Bones to tap on shoulders to rustle up six tippers to get a full team together
Ditto Hurricanes Gold as I think Plastered Peni is up in Samoa for his son's 21st but must be due back any day soon so up to guys like @machpants @Canes4life @Winger to do likewise for that team.
There are the likes of Taranaki boundary rider @Dan54 who might like to make his debut if he is still aligned to the Canes plus the likes of @MN5 @canes4eva @Paekakboyz @foobaNZ that might, or might not be, Hurricanes supporters and available and persuadable into donning the Canes colours. They probably need a couple of newcomers as I'm sure Upper Hutt's @Crucial would lover to relinquish his Canes Gold spot to take up a comfortable residence in the BoPChiefs outfit!!! Ditto I doubt we could persuade @Stargazer to turn out for anything with Hurricanes in it's name!Not sure how my Barbarians are going numbers wise but think @Waynes-World might be contemplating retirement and have not heard from @victor (but I'm pretty sure it's his Mrs doing the tips for him) since Christmas. Anyway anyone wanting to join what is basically a Hurricanes following outfit without actually having to publicly declare yourself as one is more than welcome to join stalwarts like @higgins @rico1 (or is it Rico#1?) @langakali @TripleT (who is back from his Sydney sojourn if my spy's intel is correct).
Whatever happens with your tipping form it is great fun and you have both the teams component (five out of the six tippers in each team's score counts each week so a stink week for one guy can be discarded from the team score) and the individual side where is it about time someone knocked @hydro11 off his pedestal!Just made my picks for Hurricanes Gold, that first week of picking is tough, all games look pretty close to me.

@Higgins Upper Hutt's @Crucial is about to cut ties even further with the Hurricanes area and reside full time in Central Otago.
I have been Chiefs for many years and only this comp keeps tying me back with the yellow wind merchants
Shame. We were in the initials Canes team that won it I think.

I would be in, but am away for a couple of weeks to Aus after the first week, but maybe I could put in picks before I go.
Hey Dan - just FYI, we have the interweb here in Oz now too.
Chur
Tell him what corner you need to stand on for a speedy connection and he might relent.

My form since then has been more Manawatu like.

Ok mate I will try it, can do next weeks before I go, and will PM my guess for the week after, thanks. I will have a look what to do. As a early excuse tipping 2 weeks ahead doesn't allow me to properly check the form of the teams!!!
Excuse No1I will add I have joined only because I still reckon this the best forum on the net, and so I pretty sure I will be in it most weeks!!

@Winger said in TSF Super Tipping 2023:
@Crucial why did you stop supporting the Canes
Ask @Nepia
Nepia and I ditched the Canes during the Hammett disaster and copped endless shit for it.
My reasons weren't primarily Hammett or the organisation, that just tipped the scales.
I only supported the Canes because I was living in the area and my son was playing etc. Much more fun for your kids if they feel they are going to 'home' games.
I am Counties raised and have always supported them as my main team. In the early days of Super you may remember that CM was lumped with the Blues and in my mind, Auckland was more foe than friend. Besides, all my favourite players (including CMs Lomu) played for te Canes.
The subsequent union grouping changes of CM going to Chiefs, more CM players with Chiefs and my kid growing up and deciding that he would support the franchise in his pace of birth made it logical that the whole family went Chiefs.
Plus there was Hammett. -
@Crucial All valid reasons Crucial, I never change support of team, but can understand that Canes were your team by default re residing/son etc. Besides my Dad (when alive) was always a Counties man, being from Waiuku, and where ever we lived he never changed.

The whole provincial/franchise question is much easier if your province is a 'franchise home'.
Provinces like CM, HB, Naki, NH etc find the whole thing far less black and white.Then you get places like Kurow, who are technically Cantabs as far as region go but wouldn't be seen dead supporting anyone but Otago teams.
The Manukau part of CM has folk that identify far more with Auckland than 'Counties'
-
@Crucial I believe my Great grandfather and grandfather had a lot to do with setting up the Counties union (then South Auckland of course), when I read it in a newspaper clipping I explained to Mrs Dan why I was such a rugby maniac, in the blood. I do actually cheer for CM when it's against most teams, just for my Dad, as I know he would of been doing it if still alive!

There is a Facebook group for tipping here https://www.facebook.com/groups/590271681147113
I post a reminder before the first game each week and let you know when the scoring has been updated.
