@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

Tipped = Langakali, Rico#1, Triple T, Higgins
Still awaiting last year’s tippers/other possibilities: Victor, Waynes World (last I heard he was thinking seriously of delaying his tipping retirement!)BoP Chiefs

I'm in and will try to tip...
I think we had @Kruse in the Sunjags last year and needed him
I've put my first week tips in as "Individual" - to be drafted wherever.
But SunJags does sound familiar - so yeah, happy to rejoin SunJags.
Seems appropriate - a bunch of misfit ex-pats. -
