TSF NPC Tipping 2023

By geez my picks missed a bit this week. But I do know I tend to pick with heart a bit more in this comp, and other thing I take heart from, NPC is a good comp when it this hard to pick winners.
And to top it off I put my picks in already, which I think is a bit early. May have to edit then later in week depending how the Lions/Mako shield challenge goes on Wed. -

Ok fellas , I made a cock up (surprise surprise) I wanted to change a pick and ended up putting picks in twice, not sure how to fix it.
If you put tips in more than once, I always use the most recent set of tips.

Cheers thanks Kiwi, I had hoped that was case.

Results are in for the past weekend - a tough week for tipping with Plastered Peni, Justin77, Joan and Mary & BorderJB the only ones to reach 5/7 correct, most getting 4 but quite a few at 3/7. BorderJB picked both top and low scorer for the maximum of 46. Joan and Mary, Kirwan & Justin77 the only others above 40.
This makes Kirwan the new leader, just a point ahead of Donsteppa who scored only 29 with Dogmeat, Propsicle & Plastered Peni all sharing 5th after scores in the high 30s. Bay Imports in 24th is just 31 behind the leader so plenty to play for over the 2nd half of the competition.
Harbour-Auckland thrashed Counties-Waikato to go clear at the top as Wairarapa Bush & Hawke's Bay drew but all 3 of them look good to make the play-offs. Wellington hold 4th after a close win over BOP.
The Cup First Round saw no ties so the final 16 are decided.

Well I have to say, trying to use brain instead of heart didn't bloody help did it> By christ a man wonders what he elarnt in his lifetime, I definetly knew that Wellingtn couldn't win last game of storm week and 2 RS games, same as Ta$man. It didn't stop there either.
Lucky I haven't got a cold, after weekend I convinced if I had a bogey up right nostril I would try and pick the left one!!!
Have to say I loving all these surprise results though! -

Best of the weekend were Plastered Peni and Justin77 with 49, J77 the only one to 7/7 but only getting 1 margin. Plastered is now up to 3rd, 4 behind Donsteppa & Kirwan who share the lead with Waynes World and Winger making up the top 5.
With 2 rounds left in the round robin, Harbour-Auckland and Wairarapa Bush are confirmed in the semi-finals, it looks like 2 of Hawke's Bay, Wellington and BOP. Hawke's Bay and BOP meet next weekend along with the real life Battle of the Bays.
The Cup quarter-finalists are decided, Hydro11 plays Tim, it is Triple T v Plastered Peni, Joan and Mary v Dolamite and Justin77 against Higgins.

Updated at https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and the form for next weekend is live.
Nobody picked all 7 results as a few were tough to call but Kirwan, Duluth, Victor, George33 and Hydro11 picked 6/7. Duluth the top score with 54 due to correct margin picks, Victor with 52.
Kirwan scored 48 to move 7 clear of Donsteppa at the top with 3 weeks to go. Duluth shoots up to 3rd, shared with Waynes World, Victor & Plastered Peni.
The Cup semi-finals are Hydro11 v Higgins and Plastered Peni v Dolamite.
With just 1 round to go in the round robin, Harbour-Auckland and Wairarapa Bush remain unbeaten having played out a draw and Wellington look safe in 3rd. BOP beat Hawke's Bay by a point to keep their slim hopes of the top 4 alive.

Time to tip everyone. Getting to the pointy end of the season https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

Results are in - https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Not an easy week to pick all of the results but somehow Paj picked 7/7 being the only one to have Waikato beating Auckland and even nailing the margin. Inspired picking or made a mistake on that game? Who knows! 56 for Paj but beaten by Bay Imports with 64, getting 4 margin picks and getting both category picks. Higgins also topped 50 to stay in touch with the leaders.
Kirwan leads by 6 with 2 rounds to go, his category picks saved him and he leads from Plastered Peni, a point ahead of Victor with Donsteppa now back in 4th level with Duluth.
The Cup final will be between Higgins and Plastered Peni to be played over the next 2 rounds, best aggregate score wins.
Waiarapa Bush and Harbour-Auckland go through the regular season unbeaten but the Bush take the minor premiership by scoring 2 more points during the season. Hawke's Bay take 3rd and Wellington hang on for 4th, both up against it to make the final.
