TSF NPC Tipping 2024

This first game might be critical with a fairly even split of picks for Northland and Otago. Of the top 4, only Donsteppa picked Northland and the lead is down to just 4 points.
Bush take an early lead in the final
No change in the TSF Cup Final after 10 apiece

Nicely done to @Winger. I knew Northland was a risky one, but I thought Ta$man might have valued the Shield, rather than rolling over
Don't give up hope. Every team I've picked to win this weekend has instantly gone 20 points down and I'm 3/5.

The first 50 minutes of the weekend were great, until Northland got intercepted

Congratulation to @Winger running down @Donsteppa in the final week and clinching the title when Taranaki took the Ranfurly Shield. 3rd place to @sportboy after years of comical underachievement, that's a great performance.
Best of the weekend was @Dan54 with 50 points, 6/7 and Waikato as lowest scorers. Winger, @Paj and @Landers92 scored 49, the latter with 7/7 which means 1 of only 3 to pick Southland to win.
Hawke's Bay took out the teams title with a narrow 34-33 win over Wairarapa Bush. Indebted to Paj for the outstanding score and to @Stockcar86 who mysteriously picked Southland as top scorers. As he picked Counties for low scorers, then I presume he got them the wrong way round and without that cunning plan, Bush would have won.
Winger did the league and cup double, thrashing me 84-68 over 2 weekends.

Thanks @KiwiPie . Sometimes it really is better to be stupid and lucky, than be good
