Well I have to say, trying to use brain instead of heart didn't bloody help did it> By christ a man wonders what he elarnt in his lifetime, I definetly knew that Wellingtn couldn't win last game of storm week and 2 RS games, same as Ta$man. It didn't stop there either.
Lucky I haven't got a cold, after weekend I convinced if I had a bogey up right nostril I would try and pick the left one!!!
Have to say I loving all these surprise results though! -

Best of the weekend were Plastered Peni and Justin77 with 49, J77 the only one to 7/7 but only getting 1 margin. Plastered is now up to 3rd, 4 behind Donsteppa & Kirwan who share the lead with Waynes World and Winger making up the top 5.
With 2 rounds left in the round robin, Harbour-Auckland and Wairarapa Bush are confirmed in the semi-finals, it looks like 2 of Hawke's Bay, Wellington and BOP. Hawke's Bay and BOP meet next weekend along with the real life Battle of the Bays.
The Cup quarter-finalists are decided, Hydro11 plays Tim, it is Triple T v Plastered Peni, Joan and Mary v Dolamite and Justin77 against Higgins.

Updated at https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and the form for next weekend is live.
Nobody picked all 7 results as a few were tough to call but Kirwan, Duluth, Victor, George33 and Hydro11 picked 6/7. Duluth the top score with 54 due to correct margin picks, Victor with 52.
Kirwan scored 48 to move 7 clear of Donsteppa at the top with 3 weeks to go. Duluth shoots up to 3rd, shared with Waynes World, Victor & Plastered Peni.
The Cup semi-finals are Hydro11 v Higgins and Plastered Peni v Dolamite.
With just 1 round to go in the round robin, Harbour-Auckland and Wairarapa Bush remain unbeaten having played out a draw and Wellington look safe in 3rd. BOP beat Hawke's Bay by a point to keep their slim hopes of the top 4 alive.

Time to tip everyone. Getting to the pointy end of the season https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

Results are in - https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Not an easy week to pick all of the results but somehow Paj picked 7/7 being the only one to have Waikato beating Auckland and even nailing the margin. Inspired picking or made a mistake on that game? Who knows! 56 for Paj but beaten by Bay Imports with 64, getting 4 margin picks and getting both category picks. Higgins also topped 50 to stay in touch with the leaders.
Kirwan leads by 6 with 2 rounds to go, his category picks saved him and he leads from Plastered Peni, a point ahead of Victor with Donsteppa now back in 4th level with Duluth.
The Cup final will be between Higgins and Plastered Peni to be played over the next 2 rounds, best aggregate score wins.
Waiarapa Bush and Harbour-Auckland go through the regular season unbeaten but the Bush take the minor premiership by scoring 2 more points during the season. Hawke's Bay take 3rd and Wellington hang on for 4th, both up against it to make the final.

Penultimate weekend for TSF Tipping comp - get busy https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

Finally KIrwan's "pick without thinking" strategy was dashed on the rocks in what could be the pivotal weekend for the competition. The 3 games that weren't blowouts had quite a few people going for Northland, Ta$man and Auckland and those people have dropped down the table rapidly. Dolamite, Laurence, Paj, Joan & Mary and Unite all picked 7 from 7 and top score was 57 for Dolamite and Winger who picked 6/7 but had 5 margin calls. At the other end of the scale, Duluth had 24, Kirwan 26 & Higgins & Plastered Peni 33.
All of which means it is all change at the top with Victor now leading by 4 from Donsteppa who is 4 clear of Waynes World. It is 2 back to Winger and 2 more to Dolamite. Bayimports is up to 6th after 2 great weeks. Plastered Peni dropped 5 places, Kirwan from 1st to 8th, Higgins down to 10th and Duluth from 4th to 13th.
All to play for on the final weekend with a few unpredictable games coming up.
In the teams comp, the top 2 on the ladder - unbeaten all season - crashed out at the semi-final stage with wins for Wellington and Hawke's Bay meaning they will contest the final next weekend. Winger, Laurence & Hydro11 all topped 50 while Hawke's Bay were grateful to Paj, kiwimatrix and Stockcar86 but solid scoring.
The Cup final is a low scoring affair with Higgins & Plastered Peni tied on 33-33 after the first leg.
