@dogmeat lets talk in 8 weeks, if you can still remember this conversation by then...just getting into form, week 4* I'll be fizzing, by the end I wont even be able to see you in my rear-view mirror!
if by some strange coincidence, my week 4 is no better than week 1 or 2, then I have decided that this competition isnt worth my time and I am dialling it in, just giving folk like you a bit of confidence.

With just the Jaguares v Reds game and category picks to be added on (plenty with the Chiefs as top scorers but nobody with the Blues as lowest), here are latest scores on doors and Cup is updated as well.

Everything now live at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Best of the weekend was Stockcar86 with 58. Nobody had 7/7 with the Highlanders result catching out most people. Hooroo 2nd on 57 which now puts him level overall with Langakali. OomPB down to 3rd with Joan and Mary in 4th and Higgins in 5th. Hurrycanes, Hydro11 and Dolamite move into the top 10, Stockcar86 up to 11.
The SunJags win again to be 3/3 and top of the table. 4 teams close behind with 2 wins from 3 and the 2 Blues teams and Canes Gold in danger of being dropped.
Only 6 games next week so 2 extra category picks for you to enjoy.
@ACT-Crusader & @Nevorian missing in action this week.

Did I really select Highlanders? I struggle with that spread sheet as the top row doesn’t remain fixed.
Must have clicked wrong button on phone as would never think the highlanders would win

Nah you picked Crusaders 9-16. I spotted an issue - everyone had bloody edit access on that spreadsheet so it was constantly changing. Fixed that now and have left it with most recent at the top so that this week's tips will be the first one of yours that you find.

Everything is now up to date.
The category picks and the Blues game were the key things this weekend. For category picks, Corkscrew actually got all 4 which was good for him as his tips generally sucked. Antipodean was one of 4 to get 3/4 and made him top scorer for the weekend, a big improvement on previous form. Also 3/4 for mikedogz, Winger and Broughie. Everyone picked the Chiefs to win so no 6/6 in picks this week.
A shift around at the top as the top 3 all bombed and all are now out of the top 5. Moving up to take places 1-5 are Joan and Mary, Higgins, Hurrycanes, Hydro11 and Triple T. Big rises for previous top performers Winger and Donsteppa to just outside the top 10, spectacular falls for Sportboy and Stockcar86, so shocked by their previous lofty positions around the top 10, they now share 34th place.
In the Cup, GT12 won the replay against Broughie by scoring 2 x 10s for the first 2 games. Into the quarter-finals go Triple T, Hurrycanes, Higgins, Victor, DK, Joan and Mary, Caprice and either Langakali or Phooey who drew.
In the team comp, the Sunjags made it 4 wins from 4 by taking down the BOP Chiefs, Canes Black beat Blues B to stay close behind in 2nd (with Blues B 0/4 and last). Wins also for Blues A who go into the top 4 and a first win for the season for Canes Gold.

It is all live at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and next week's tipping form is up. Tough week with nobody picking the Rebels, only 13% going for the Blues and Reds v Sharks split about 50/50. So given the Hurricanes game was basically an easy 20 points for most people (17+, most points, biggest margin), there were some badddddd scores - nobody picked 5/6.
Tim was best with 44, Dogmeat 43, Fiamacho 42 and then a whole posse on 41. No change at the top as all the top 3 scored 41 and moved away a little from the chasers. Hitting the top spot is proving bad news for some people as Sportboy, OomPB and Hooroo have all crashed out of the top 10 shortly afterwards. Joan and Mary still leads by 3 from Higgins with Hurrycanes a point back.
Voodoo scored lowest, just 17 after bizarrely ignoring the Hurricanes in the category picks.
Yet another win for the SunJags who are 5/5. Yet another defeat for Blues B who are 0/5.
In the Cup, Triple T and Higgins are into the semi-finals - Hurrycanes/Joan and Mary and Victor/Langakali have replays to decide.
Back to 7 games next weekend which is good news. All of @ACT-Crusader @Nevorian @Bones missing in action this week - get those tips in now for next week.
