Only 4 games to pick this weekend so no excuse not to do it. 3 hours to go https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

The results are in https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Only one person picked Moana to beat the Crusaders and that was @Kirwan - the only 4/4 tipper and top scorer with 57. @delicatessen did well on categories and a Canes 17+ pick to score 52 and only 6 more players managed 40 or more. One of those was @hydro11 who closed the gap at the top to 3 points but @ACT-Crusader still leads almost half-way through the season. Langakali is up to 3rd, knocking @gt12 down to 4th.
Worst of the weekend was @SouthernMann managing just 1/4 and 14 points. Missing tippers were @dK yet again and @george33
In the TSF Cup, Triple T beat @Paj in a replay by picking the margin the Brumbies game but then lost in the semi to @Canes4life who will play Langakali in the final (who beat @Kruse in the other semi).
Half-way through the round robin of the teams comp, the BOP Chiefs took the lead thrashing Blues A in a top of the table clash while South Island lost to the Barbarians. Still all teams except Blues B have a chance of making the semi-finals.

This weekends games aren’t easy to pick
Chiefs v Reds - top of the table clash. Reds getting a big win away will help convince the comp they are for real.
Moana v Tahs - Moana riding high after a big win and the Tahs currently sitting 5th but their points diff is bottom 3 and could come back to bite when it comes to deciding positions
Drua v Saders - reeling from a bad loss but Saders have not played well in Fiji.
Blues v Canes - their first outing 4 weeks ago was quite the finish. Canes will be looking for revenge and to try and catapult their push to the top 6. Blues need a win for confidence more than anything.
Force v Landers - who knows. Would love to believe in the Landers, but man they have some lapses during games that have allowed the opposition to punish them. Force have defeated Brumbies, Moana and Drua but have been competitive enough to pick up some bonus points. Hardest game to pick.

As @ACT-Crusader says, all of the games are tough to pick this weekend - you've got 2 hours to make your choices

The results are in. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Not an easy week to pick 5/5 with all the final 3 games close to 50/50 and quite a few who picked the Waratahs. Picking all 5 were @hydro11 @Kruse @Winger @Donsteppa and Kruse picked 3 margins as well to top the totals with 56. 50 for Donsteppa and Winger. At the other end, just 1 correct for @KiwiMurph @dogmeat (who entered late), @SouthernMann @Kirwan & @antipodean
Hydro11 is back on top with Kruse up to 2nd as @ACT-Crusader had a poor week and is now level in 3rd with @gt12
@Canes4life is the winner of the TSF Cup - congratulations - beating Langakali 42-40 in the final. Top 32 scores from next week will go into the Sequel Cup.
Wins for BOP Chiefs (now 7/8 & 1st), Blues A (6/8 & 2nd), SunJags and Barbarians.

Kruse up to 2nd
Fuck yeah. And what the fuck? Would love to see a chart of my progress this season - pretty sure I was holding the ladder up for several weeks, then got a 69 (guffaw), and only good things from there.
Knowing that by saying as much - I'm certain to get a shart in the face now - and my season will end up looking like a perfect bell-curve.Edit: just noticed this is post #69 of the thread... <snort> - how serendipitous.

I track the weekly positions of everyone so I can answer this question.

Update after the weekend https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Some very low scoring this weekend as there were few takers for the Crusaders, almost none for the Waratahs and very few for the Brumbies. Quite an achievement to pick 5/5 and that is what @george33 did for 48 points. No category picks so the top scorer was @Chris with 49, 4/5 picks and 2 category picks. Big move at the top of the table as Chris leaps from 7th to 1st, 5 ahead of @hydro11 with Langakali 3rd.
At the other end of the scale, just 11 for allblacksfan and 13 for @Hurrycanes - missing tippers were @paj @Nevorian @delicatessen @SouthernMann @rico1 & @dK - is the long season tiring everyone out?
Top 32 scorers go into the first round of the Sequel Cup next weekend - so you needed to score 21 or more.
Wins for all of the top 4 teams, cementing their play-off places - bonus point win for Blues A narrows the gap behind the BOP Chiefs to 3 points.
