<p>Here are the provisional teams - will be revisited if we get more entries. Players marked in bold have started with 10 for the Harbour win. So it looks like Harbour-Auckland is the first leader of the comp.</p>

<p>They are my favourites to win the tipping if Harbour actually win a decent number of games - big if there!</p> -

<p>31 so if I had extended the leaderboard just one more point (like they used to do with Tiger when the leaderboard would be stretched to include him if possible - when he was still OK I mean!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We're collectively backing Otago and Ta$man this afternoon 75-80%</p> -
<p>First week is over and Broughie has stormed into a 10 point lead on the back of picking all 7 results and Canterbury to be top scorers. Matching him for 7 results was Tim who didn't so well with the margins and is in 4th meaning that 2nd and 3rd are with Dogmeat and Victor. Picking only 3 results were Crucial, Sportboy, FarNthHayden, Waynes World, Number 10, NZZP, Hooroo, and Adam Bowen. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The team scores were strange with the 4 teams who topped 40 points playing each other which was unlucky for South Island and Wellington as the Bush and Harbour-Auckland triumphed and lead the table. Wins for Hawke's Bay and BOP over poor Counties-Waikato and Northland teams. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The website is up to date including Week 2 and 3 tipping forms - in week 3 the Wednesday games start so good to stay a week ahead to avoid forgetting.</p>

FFS now I know why my score was so much lower, I changed a margin 2mins after sending in original tips and for some reason picked Auckland rather than Canterbury 9 to 16 which wasn't the game I was changing! Pure typo as picked Canterbury in virtual and TAB.......
-
KiwiPie still don't know if I'm in a team or not. Not a space for going it alone 😂😂
-
<p>Not long to go now before he first match in the second round kicks off so for those that haven't already dealt to it please ive somethought to sending your tips in. Hopefully Crucial will be awake in time to get his sent in from so far away (not sure how far he is behind in hours) and Adam Bowen both for the Counties-Waikato combination manage to get in on time, the same could be said for Number 10!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still need one more to complete a full lineup for Northland so come on you Northland supporters now is the time to answer the call of duty!</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Good luck with your tips.</p> -
<p>Almost time for the coin toss and there are still a few waiting to factor any last minute changes into the equation. Little more than half an hour until the referee calls both teams out onto the field and the Counties-Waikato guys are still waiting awaiting Adam Bowen and Mikedogz to cast their tips into the ballot box whilst AllStar (Wellington) is adopting unusual tactics in having tipped week three whilst keeping his powder dry until the last minute before submitting tips for round two with Northland still holding their breath for someone like Chiefy or stevenharris to come out of the woods to make up their full roster.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Final call please if you want to be in for the first game <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.eglobal.co.nz/tsfnpc16/tsf.htm'>http://www.eglobal.co.nz/tsfnpc16/tsf.htm</a> but all is not lost as you can still come in from the second game onward. Probably get the bonus of an away 17+ for the Otago v Wgtn game as compensation and thats a decent possibility........................</p> -
Thanks KiwiPie South Island it is.
-
<p>3 games in and here are the latest scores - there are a couple of tippers missing but everyone is playing with a full team of 5. The majority went against Otago and nobody picked them 17+. Pretty much everyone picked Manawatu and Auckland and many were spot on with the margin.</p>

<div>Leading for the week are Hooroo, Hurrycanes and Virgil on 25, 22 to Sportboy, Cactus Jack, Gunner & JK. Corkscrew and Kev are the worst with 7.</div>

<div>Nobody at all is picking Ta$man to win and just a handful going for the Steamers. Only ACT Crusader picked the Naki as top scorers although a fair few have Northland as low scorers and a couple have Harbour.</div>

Hmmm should have picked up a minimum of 10 today as pretty sure got both winners<br><br><br>
Edit FFS somehow I picked harbour to take the shield and win by 9-16 yet put pretty much my hole tab account on waikato and went waikato 13+ in virtual tipping lol wtf is going on -
Not that my Naki margin really helps given my other tips have been rubbish. I really thought Harbour would be lifting the log tonight. <br><br><br>

<p>Here goes - Week 2 is over and the margins were the issue for most people. Games can be close for an hour with these new laws it seems but can suddenly blow out. Or blow back the other way in the case of Counties v BOP. Anyway, picking 7/7 results were Virgil, Cactus Jack, Justin77, Richie, Joan and Mary, Donsteppa, Gunner and Hooroo. Best round was Virgil picking up 4 maximums.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wairarapa Bush, Hawke's Bay and Harbour-Auckland are 2 wins from 2 while Counties-Waikato picked up their first win. All teams scored between 41 and 46 with so many going picking the same results. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Next week is the qualifying round for the TSL Cup, the top 16 go straight through to the last 32, the rest of the players fight it out the week after to join them. </p>

<p>This is something to factor into your tips for this week. Remember the first game for this round is Wednesday night 7.35pm NZ time, a day earlier than has been the case so far. It will mean that a fair number of matchday 23s will not have been named by then so some guesswork (including whether these guys listed berlow will make the squad!) will be needed when settling on your tips.</p>
