Somewhere in the range of low scores to very very low scores
-
And Bones picked it - the win to the Stormers gave Triple T the TSL Cup.

Website up to date now as well including next week's tipping form.
Only 3 tippers picked 5/6 - nobody at all went for the Jaguares. All 3 of the Waratahs, Stormers and Sharks games were picked around 70%-30% and in only the Stormers game were the 70% correct which is why some of the scoring was so low. Higgins, Mikedogz and Corkscrew picked 5/6 and at the other end of the scale, DK, Bruce Kenyon, Rico, FarNthHayden & Smudge were only 2/6 getting all 3 of the marginal calls incorrect.
The category picks were very important this week, Mikedogz managed to get all 4 correct for 20 points (picking the Chiefs as top penalty kickers was inspired) and Higgins, DK, Sportboy, Skudderstep, Plastered Peni and Phooey scored 15 extra points.
6 weeks left to go - 3 weeks until the silly season of internationals starts. There won't be a tipping round for the games of 1 and 2 June as this is the completion of the very first round where only the SA conference played. That will leave 3 more rounds after the internationals which will be when we run the play-offs of TSF Tipping.
A new Cup will start next week which will have the final in the final weeks of our season.
-
I might be leaving my charge late, but this week I've looked at the team lineups and respective positions.
-
Everything is updated.
Nobody picked 7/7 this week with the Sunwolves catching out most (although not all) and the Rebels win doing the same thing. 6/7 by Barbarian, TR, Paj, Skudderstep and Mikedogz. They were the top 5 scorers unsurprisingly with Barbarian, TR and Mikedogz leading on 49.
At the other end of the scale, just 15 for Fiamacho - picking a Blues win is a brave call.
Winger increased his lead overall to 11 but the chasers are massing, Barbarian and TR moving into the top 10 to replace DK and Plastered Peni.
In the big game, Canes Black thrashed the Barbarians with a very solid team effort and moving 4 points clear at the top. Wins for BOP Chiefs and Blues B mean they should be safe in the top 4 to make the play-offs.
A few more missing tippers this week, Tim, Smudge and Justin77 - come on, only 2 more weeks and then you get an international break.

Time to tip and that means you @Smudge @Tim @justin77 @KiwiMurph

A few more players dropped off this week, is the season too long? One more week of tipping to go before the international break.
Tricky week for high scoring, nobody managed 7/7 and margins were elusive for all. Picking 6/7 were Virgil (top scorer for the week), Broughie, Pauncefote and Unite. Hooroo the low scorer with 3/6 and no margins.
No big moves overall as most of the scoring was around the low to mid 30s but Hydro11 moved up to 2nd, 11 behind Winger and Virgil moved into the top 10.
The top 4 is set for the playoffs as they can't be caught - Canes Black looking assured of the minor premiership.

They're like pace setters in athletics; no chance of winning after the first two laps so they drop out, job done.

I'll fess up. Just got absorbed into some actual work and completely forgot until half way up a hill on my mountainbike on Saturday. Was way too late to do anything by then.
-
First thing - no tipping required next weekend BUT there are still 3 more weeks to tip after the international window.
Wide range to scores this past weekend with the Hurricanes picked by more people than the Crusaders and nobody going for the Brumbies. A few crazies predicted the ongoing revival of the Aussie teams against NZ teams and we plummeted accordingly!
6/7 picked by Hydro, Virgil, Barbarian, Hooroo, Richie, FarNthHayden. Hydro and Broughie topped scoring with 56, both picking the highest and lowest scorers as Rebels and Sunwolves. You also scored 5 if you picked Canes or Sharks as low scorers.
We now have a tie at the top as Hydro caught up to Winger and these 2 lead by 23 from Hurrycanes with Virgil and Higgins close behind.
The play-offs have been decided and Hurricanes Black take out the Minor Premiership by 4 points from Barbarians. The top 4 all won so no change in positions.

It's all getting very awkward bro. I'm getting embarrassed for you.....
-
@hooroo I'm embarrassed by my last few weeks tipping efforts, so I'm probably better off missing out anyway.
