Up the Chiefs.

Yourself and Donsteppa I trust not to mess up - the rest of us are a bit flaky!

Well that's tipping done for year, thanks for organising it all, was well done I thought. First time I done one for a tipping comp for a few years, and just nade sure I got picks in every week (though may of stuffed up early) for first time ever. But basically because this my favourite forum, and so thought if I joining comp, I will do the right thing. It was a lot easier for me than you buggers who do the work I think!

There is one more week to tip - don't forget. Should be easy, just pick the NZ teams? Maybe?

Ok, thought maybe it finished, yep well my heart won't let me pick against Canes in knockout anywy, so guess I will just have to studiously decide on scores!!

I came here to congratulate Higgins! Good to know there is one week left.

Well done my final picks for year. Started off waiting until teams were named, and then thought who am I kidding, I not that scientific anyway, and proper heart picks!!!
All Kiwi teams and only the points gap that will help me I guessing!

Higgins

@hydro11 Thanks for your kind intentions, was it an early attempt to grab the underdog status!? Looks like the title will be decided on the category picks plus the ACT Brumbies v Hurricanes match as the other three look to be easy 17+ers. My form has tailed off over the last few weeks so must be due for a good week this time out!

The Silver Fern's tipping competition

TSF Super Tipping is over is over for another season and it is time to hand out the trophies.

Hydro11 sneaks over the line in the final weekend to retain his title, his 5th title after winning the first in 2016. Some tactical tipping went on just before the first game on Friday - if a similar situation happens in the future, I'll get the contending players to send their tips directly to me. Higgins finished 7 points behind after leading from week 3 to week 15. 3rd was Winger with Tim 4th and Plastered Peni in 5th.

Best score of the weekend and the season was Triple T, with 75.5 and every selection correct except going Chiefs 17+. Rico#1 was perfect with the game picks but went Reds instead of Drua for low scorer and scored 75. These are both in the Barbarians meaning they beat the BOP Chiefs easily to take the teams title for the 3rd time in a row. The 3rd place play-off was won by Canes Black over Canes Gold.

Most results picked correctly was Hydro11 with 86% success, 2 more correct than Triple T & Higgins. Most margins correct was also Hydro11 with 42%, 1 match ahead of Donsteppa & Tim.

Thanks to everyone who stuck with it until the end and to those who play every season. See you for NPC Tipping all too soon.

@KiwiPie Thanks again. Did not watch too many games this year. Decided sleep was more important otherwise my Saturdays start off shitty. Congrats to Hydro11. Perhaps someone needs to sabotage his picks or a 9 iron to his shins :-)..

Thanks KP and congrats to Hydro.

Worryingly my tips are no worse now that I watch no Super Rugby than when I used to watch every game.

Remembering to tip would help though

Tim

Thanks KP!

taniwharugby

thanks as always KP!

Machpants

Thanks, a very average result for me, tho I did miss a round

hydro11

Thanks for the congrats guys.

It was bitter sweet. I tipped early and went for the Hurricanes to win. Higgins picked the same results, margins and bonus questions. My only way to win was to change a tip and the only 50/50 game was the Hurricanes. I changed my tip to the Brumbies and was very much still guttered Ardie didn't score and hand Higgins the title.

Higgins

@hydro11 All good, no quibbles here as I had my picks sorted out earlier in the week but got too busy to submit them until a bit later than usual, even posted on here that the first three games looked dead set 17+ers! Prue co-incidence that they might have been the same as your initial picks. Well done but you had better be looking over your shoulder next season as there are bound to be heaps out there looking to wrestle the title away from you just for once! Anyway I am still chuffed the Barbarians came right and knocked over the BoP Chiefs to make it a hat-trick of Teams Championships.
