TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2019

Match reports etc

In the teams comp, Blues B made it 4 from 4, pipping Canes Black by 2 thanks to 62 by Dogmeat and every other counting score over 50. Hurrycanes led the Canes scoring with 61.

Blues A remain in 2nd, scoring 60 in the process which could well be the highest score all season. 3 scores over 60 for J77, JK and Virgil meant a thrashing for the South Island as @Stag failed to tip and 3 of the counting scores were below 50 (Corkscrew the shining light with 62).

Barbarians squeezed out Canes Gold to move up to 3rd, consistency all round with all 6 over 50 points and the high score of 67 for Rico#1 with Triple T also over 60. Winger scored 60 but it was not quite enough.

Finally the SunJags moved up to 4th with a narrow win over the BOP Chiefs. 62 for Barbarian was the best with KP's 60 the best BOP Chiefs score.

Overall, Plastered Peni holds the lead, 6 ahead of DK with Hurrycanes, Corkscrew and Smudge rounding out the top 5.

For some reason, it is this time of the season when people start forgetting to tip - only 21 in so far this week (out of 51 playing) so make sure you tip on time.

@KiwiPie thats cos this weeks tips/guesses suck!

You'd think this many weeks in it'd be easier than

The pressure is on KP this week, does he count the Highlanders v Crusaders as a nil nil draw or will the game be removed from points calculations...................................

The big issues aye Higgins

OK here's how the scoring was worked out. Chiefs v Hurricanes a draw so no points awarded. Highlanders v Crusaders cancelled so no points awarded. No points for category picks as not all games played. So your points total is determined from the other 4 games.

All live at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ including next week's form. More later

Is that how we scored draws in the last? Always thought the margins either side of the result got the part points as usual?

Ah well, same for everyone at least

Yep as my spreadsheet formula ability isn't up to computing it!

Jeebus, I'm considering retirement as no.1 at this point in the season. This cannot be sustained!

I can't believe how far I am in the cup! I'm third last and in the quarter finals! Comedy Tipping

The Leicester City of tipping?

Belated report from the weekend

With very few points on offer, it was important to pick all the 4 remaining correctly for a good score. DK, Gunner and Unite were the only ones to pick 4/4, DK and Unite sharing top score of 35. This took DK into a 10 point lead at the top and Gunner up into 5th.

3 Blues B players in the top 5 and this is reflected in the teams comp where they are still 5 wins from 5 after winning their derby with Blues A. They now have a 5 point lead with Blues A still in 2nd spot despite the defeat.

There were 2 draws, Barbarians sharing the points with Canes Black and Canes Gold drawing with the SunJags. That leaves Barbarians and SunJags still in the top 4 but with not much of a gap to 5th and 6th.

Finally BOP Chiefs had a welcome win thanks to Unite and South Island are marooned at the bottom of the table with just a single victory.

In the Cup, Hooroo continued his charmed run, joined by Waynes World who had a no show from Justin77. Also through are Virgil, Winger, Dogmeat, Corkscrew and Rico#1 with Caprice and Joan and Mary (that's just 2 players) having a sudden death replay this coming weekend to see who plays Dogmeat in the quarter-finals.

Finally Paj is the best result picker so far, 75% of his selections have been correct. Best at margins are DK and Corkscrew. All the info is at https://www.thesilverfern.com/competition-stats/

@KiwiPie j77 told me he missed the first game but put tips in on sat?

@KiwiPie he musta forgot...

This is your 4 hour reminder to tip

form won't let me enter

Try PMing your tips to KP, he might accept them given the cirsumstances.

Well this week will suck, BIG TIME, although prob not just for me....

All updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ including the tipping form for next week.

Not a great week for scoring - Rico#1 outstandingly bad with just 7 points, only picking the Canes result correctly and that was 17+ - now has the worst score of the season to go with the best score of the season. Only Caprice picked 6/7, like most she went for the Crusaders but top scorer was Gunner with 47 including 4 maximums. I hope to do a bigger update later.

and again, my comedy tips get through to the next round of the cup

Carrying on the report ... everyone tipped except Voodoo who isn't in a team - great performance. Not a single person picked Chiefs as top scorers and Crusaders as lowest. In fact Barbarian picked them exactly the other way round. Mikedogz, Caprice, Phooey, Stag and Crucial picked the Chiefs to win and Corkscrew and Waynes World backed the Waratahs.

BOP Chiefs were the best scoring team, being able to discard my miserable effort so that their lowest counting score was a respectable 32 with Mikedgoz and Unite on 41. They inflicted the first defeat on Blues B, unlucky for them as they has the 2nd best score. Gunner 47 and Caprice 41 were let down by previous leader DK's 16 so that FarNthHayden's 22 had to be included.

Blues A beat Canes Gold with solid scoring led by Virgil's 38, the best for Canes Gold was Nevorian on 37. The SunJags sneaked past the Barbarians with GT12's 40 points the best, Barbarians having to include Triple T's 19 due to Rico's 7.

Finally, South Island had a narrow win over Canes Black. Corkscrew had 42 (next best 26) and that was enough as Cactus Jack was best for Canes Black with an average 31 and Stockcar86's 19 had to be included.

Overall, Gunner has taken the lead along with Corkscrew - they are 15 points clear of DK and Plastered Peni with Dogmeat in 5th. Dolamite has shot up to 6th playing as an individual while also flying into the top 10 is Caprice. Dropping out of the top 10 are Smudge and Barbarian - dropping all the way to 20th.

In the Cup, Caprice won her replay against Joan and Mary by backing the Blues to win and then beat Dogmeat to reach the semis along with Hooroo (who only plays disastrous tippers or no shows) Corkscrew and Virgil.

Now that's what I'm used to, as they say shit will float to the top

may i suggest the option to drop our worst round from the scoring...

I'd have trouble deciding which round.

Time to tip everyone. All the best ...

Did my tips earlier but cant recall if I pressed submit!

Everything is up to date at the usual location. Report later. Meanwhile here are the week's scores. Canerbry and Phooey showing fanatical support for the Crusaders can be profitable. Meanwhile Skudderstep has been dropped for the South Island with Canerbry coming in (2 missed weeks means you're replaced) and Stag also missed so is on a warning.

Cup final features 2 unlikely opponents, the very lucky Hooroo and the almost as lucky Caprice. 2 legged final ....

Blah blah blah, tell me I'm wrong etc....

I'm most proud of tipping the Sunwolves.

@KiwiPie 2 legged final of this weekend and Next weekends results?

This is like Milwall making FA cup final. Dream run in

Correct

Hold the bus .....

I missed the fact that the Crusaders tied with the Rebels as top scorers and only counted picks for the Rebels. So these 6 players will get 5 more on their score - I'll rejig everything later on.

Mikedogz, Langakali, Plastered Peni, Joan & Mary, Higgins, Canerbry

@KiwiPie Looks down at the bottom, doesn't find name. Great success.

@antipodean a top 10 finish with 29 is impressive, you are such a great and knowledgable tipper!

Updated the tipping pages with the changed scores.
