TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2024
-
It was tipping carnage this past weekend https://thesilverfern.com/tipping
When the round is unpredictable, the BOP Chiefs know we can rely on @sportboy to deliver - he delivered 3 maximums for 50 points, the best of the round and 12 ahead of @OomPB & @antipodean - @Unite & @BorderJB the only others over 30.
@NTA was late to tip but scoring zero for the Moana game wasn't unusual - but he was the only one to manage zero points this week, @hydro11 scraped 3 and @Dolamite & @mikedogz just 6.
@kirwan has flopped down to 3rd and Victor takes over at the top with @Waynes-World in 2nd. @BorderJB & @taniwharugby move into the top 10.
Barbarians have a massive lead on the ladder of 13 points but with wins for the previous bottom 3, suddenly all teams still have a chance of the top 4. Canes Gold had the lowest score of the season, just 10 with none of them team scoring higher than 11.
Waynes World won the TSF Cup beating Higgins in the final. Top 32 this coming weekend go into the draw for the Sequel Cup.

Probably a reasonable time (since the wheels are coming off) to admit I outsourced my tipping to Claude AI. I feed in the last three years of results, weighted for 2024 results, and take what it gives me verbatim.
(Which is why you'll see some tips against the Blues).
It's so much better at tipping than me, it's not funny.

WRONG.
It's really funny
I've always been terrible at tipping, heart over head. It was an interesting experiment, be interesting to see if it rebounds, the smaller rounds fucked it.

Don't forget to tip - last week of just 4 matches, back to the full programme next week https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

All the results are up for the weekend https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Another tricky week for tipping - most tippers picked 3/4 but there were hardly any margin picks. The exception was @voodoo who had 3 maximums as well as 2 category picks for the best of 55. @sportboy passed 50 yet again picking 4/4 as did Fiamacho and @Hurrycanes. Worst was Rico#1 with just 7.5 and 1/4. Missing tippers were @Tim @Joan-and-Mary @frugby @SouthernMann
Overall Victor retains the lead with Waynes World half a point behind and Triple T just a point back in 3rd - it's very close at the top. Kirwan and Bart round out the top 5, Fiamacho is up to 7th.
Barbarians have probably already sealed their top 4 spot with their 9th win in a row but then there are 6 teams separated by just 7 points and fighting it our for the other play-off spots - South Island have 3 wins in 4 games after losing their first 5.
(@OomPB has already tipped early this morning before the new tipping form was made live - please resubmit now the new form is live)

Time to tip everyone - some tough choices this weekend I reckon https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

The results are in - a much easier week for most of us. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Amazingly @dogmeat was top scorer with 57, managing to nail 4 games with margins. 56 for @gt12 who picked 6/6 along with @BartMan @Dolamite @Duluth @rico1 & @Nevorian
@Waynes-World has hit the top spot by 4 from Triple T with Victor down to 3rd. Bart is up to 4th ahead of @Kirwan who continues his slow AI descent. Usual title contenders @hydro11 & @Winger are lurking in the top 10.
10 wins out of 10 for Barbarians and also wins for Blues B, SunJags and Canes Black who make up the top 4. SunJags lucky to be playing Blues A as both were down to just 4 tippers.
I'll sort out the Sequel Cup soon, have some ties from last week that need to be adjudicated first.

The Sequel Cup is updated now. You qualified for the 32 based on your score last weekend. 9 players tied on 25.5 and 7 of those went through when DK and Delicatessen picked against the Crusaders in game 1 this weekend. 15 through to the 2nd round and Langakali v OomPB is a replay, winner is the first to go ahead next weekend.

You're right - I show no respect to an experienced tipper who has won many tipping titles in the past.
