I would be in, but am away for a couple of weeks to Aus after the first week, but maybe I could put in picks before I go.
Hey Dan - just FYI, we have the interweb here in Oz now too.

Well there's a suprise mate, when did that happen?
But when I holiday ,I usually not on the net!If you DM me with your picks for the weeks you're away picking according to the tipping sheet we'll be good
Ok mate I will try it, can do next weeks before I go, and will PM my guess for the week after, thanks. I will have a look what to do. As a early excuse tipping 2 weeks ahead doesn't allow me to properly check the form of the teams!!!
Excuse No1I will add I have joined only because I still reckon this the best forum on the net, and so I pretty sure I will be in it most weeks!!

@Crucial why did you stop supporting the Canes
Ask @Nepia
Nepia and I ditched the Canes during the Hammett disaster and copped endless shit for it.
My reasons weren't primarily Hammett or the organisation, that just tipped the scales.
I only supported the Canes because I was living in the area and my son was playing etc. Much more fun for your kids if they feel they are going to 'home' games.
I am Counties raised and have always supported them as my main team. In the early days of Super you may remember that CM was lumped with the Blues and in my mind, Auckland was more foe than friend. Besides, all my favourite players (including CMs Lomu) played for te Canes.
The subsequent union grouping changes of CM going to Chiefs, more CM players with Chiefs and my kid growing up and deciding that he would support the franchise in his pace of birth made it logical that the whole family went Chiefs.
Plus there was Hammett. -
@Crucial All valid reasons Crucial, I never change support of team, but can understand that Canes were your team by default re residing/son etc. Besides my Dad (when alive) was always a Counties man, being from Waiuku, and where ever we lived he never changed.

The whole provincial/franchise question is much easier if your province is a 'franchise home'.
Provinces like CM, HB, Naki, NH etc find the whole thing far less black and white.Then you get places like Kurow, who are technically Cantabs as far as region go but wouldn't be seen dead supporting anyone but Otago teams.
The Manukau part of CM has folk that identify far more with Auckland than 'Counties'

@Crucial I believe my Great grandfather and grandfather had a lot to do with setting up the Counties union (then South Auckland of course), when I read it in a newspaper clipping I explained to Mrs Dan why I was such a rugby maniac, in the blood. I do actually cheer for CM when it's against most teams, just for my Dad, as I know he would of been doing it if still alive!

There is a Facebook group for tipping here https://www.facebook.com/groups/590271681147113
I post a reminder before the first game each week and let you know when the scoring has been updated.

My tips are in and I apologise in advance to my teammates.
-
I not too sure how to join facebook group, I go in under Facebook name and not mine, but no worries, I can still do things here.
Have to say, first time I have tried SF tipping comp, and like the look of it, but one problem, I checked if I had put in my tips,I had, but thought bugger me I not sure they are what I want now lol. I would do that everytime I looked anyway so will never change tips. -
@Dan54 You can change your tips right up until kick off time in the first game of the round if you like. Not always the wisest of things to do as remember the old saying when you accidentally put a wager of the wrong horse - "never change a wrong ticket as Murphy's Law is likely to happen"!
You can check here to see if your tips have been received https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ using the "Have I tipped?" tag or this one here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kxisdgGg3rHj5KY5vtQsi3iUxSbU21ebLhGaCidUhx8/edit#gid=1973723998 will probably work too. It also gives you the chance to fix things if you have accidentally tipped Rebels 17+ when you really meant the tip to be Crusaders 17+ for example

Just a roundup of where we are at the moment (2.00pm), keep checking back to this post as I will update it when I can. Good to see a number of newcomers, hopefully they will last the distance ie tip every week! Looks like the Official Selector will have to do a bit of mixing and matching in a couple of instances where there might be more than six tippers sticking their hand up to represent a team. Don't let that put you off though as KPs Tipping Contests are SIMPLY THE BEST
