Tipping 2021
-
By the way, the results have been up all day.
Not hard to pick the winners of the games, most people picked 5/5, but the margins were tricky and the category winners even trickier. Best score was Victor with 54 ahead of Winger and Canes4life on 53. Not much of a gap between the best scores and the worst.
The Cup is already active - with just 5 rounds, the top 16 scores went through which means there are 4 players going for just one spot - the first of Mikedogz, Unite, Donsteppa, Rico to score more than the other next weekend takes spot 16.

@kiwipie sportboy in 35th with 247 points is an impressive first round effort 😊
Nothing to see here

It's only a 5 week comp and we'll almost be half-way by the end of the weekend.

@kiwipie I just put my tips in hope I’m not too late I got it in at 7:04 😂
Game starts at 7:05 so that is just in time.
I'm not taking any revised tips after games have started by the way - gets too complicated with all the category picks.

Results are in and tipping form is up for next weekend.
It was an easy week to pick if you went "Kiwi teams by a lot" with the only difficult choices in the category picks. Best of the weekend was Laurence with 62 who moves up to 4th. The top 3 had identical performances to get 60 points - Victor, Winger and Plastered Peni in order. 14 are still 10 from 10 for tips - who can make it 25 from 25 by the end. Quarter finals of the Cup will be
Victor v Hooroo
Laurence v Langakali
Winger v Plastered Peni
Antipodean or Kruse v Tim -
A last minute tipping reminder for those yet to submit, or leaving it to the last minute
@Corkscrew's set of tips has the Crusaders as top NZ scorer but the Waratah's as winning the game 17+?
-
@donsteppa Obviously covering both bases. Maybe he thinks the Crusaders will take about 10 players off the field and continue on with the remaining 5 once they get about 75 - 00 in front half way through the first half? Should they be that cocky then it just might see the Waratahs come back to get the necessary points for the 17+ win. That is a big ask given the seemingly limited amounts of talent in the Waratahs team and just sixty minutes to accomplish the task.

We are all updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Getting 5 from 5 tips on a weekend when an Australian team finally won a game were Laurence, Canes4life, Kruse, Antipodean & Unite. Kruse top scored with a season's best 69 with Unite getting 65.
Victor still holds the overall lead, 5 ahead of Plastered Peni with Laurence another point back. Still a lot of people in contention near the top.
In the Cup semi-finals Hooroo will play Kruse and Laurence will play Plastered Peni.

Results are in. https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Tim has come from nowhere (9th) to top score for the round with 57 and is now level with Victor at the top, just a point ahead of Laurence who is 2 ahead of Plastered Peni who is 4 ahead of Hooroo. Should be an exciting final week. Corkscrew, Unite and Mikedogz also topped 50 (picked the Brumbies to win) but only Unite is close enough to the top to mount a challenge, up to 8th and 16 off the lead.
The Cup final is between Hooroo and Laurence who beat Kruse and Plastered Peni respectively.

Hell that is super tight at the top of the table, six tippers within ten points of each other. I suspect I will have little chance of breaking into that group as unless there are some monumental upsets next week the twenty odd points I need to make up are just too great. On the down side going for upsets to try and make up ground also has the probability of a huge downward plunge as others stick with the logical tips. About the only hope for us in the chasing pack will be to hit a purple patch in the margins and, especially, categories sections.
