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.

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.

Virgil

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

JK

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

KiwiPie

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.

Hooroo

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

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

KiwiPie

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.

taniwharugby

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

KiwiPie

Updated the tipping pages with the changed scores.

Yes they did and I took your first set of tips. Not allowed to submit a new set of tips once the round has started.

It was a way over to the right of the spreadsheet! As the same spreadsheet is getting 6 games then 7 games then 6 again, it is getting quite confusing ...

Another mixed week for tipping with games 1 and 2 evenly split for tipping, only 1 person taking the Sharks over the Lions and not much love for the Jaguares eithers. The Sharks were backed by just Richie and the Jaguares by Dolamite, Bones and FarNthHayden. Dolamite was the star of the round, the only tipper with 6/7, top scorer with 51 and now leading the overall comp by 8 from Gunner. He was unattached to a team but is now drafted to the disaster zone that is South Island as they had only 3 tippers this week as all of @Stag , @Phooey and @ACT-Crusader missed the bus.

Anything over 40 was a good score and there were 8 x 40+ scores, Hydro11 the 2nd best with 49 featuring 4 maximums and he is now into 5th spot overall.

In the Cup, Caprice takes a 4 point lead over Hooroo into the second leg.

Canes Black were the team of the week, thrashing Blues A 42-30 with 4 of their counting scores over 40. Blues A had a top score of only 32 (Tim) and dropped out of the top 4. The Barbarians beat the top of the table Blues B by 37-35, Victor the best with 43 but all of the other 5 on 34 or better. Blues B were similarly consistent with their counting scores in the range 34-37.

Blues B stay top but are now level on the top with the SunJags who took down the woeful South Island 35-24. Chimoaus the best with 39. In 3rd spot overall are the BOP Chiefs who squeezed past Canes Gold 35-33 thanks to Donsteppa's 42 - Laurence's 44 for Canes Gold was dragged down by 3 scores under 30.

ACT Crusader

Just tipped.

Haven’t seen any footy so far.

We're up to date online ... https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Overall Dolamite still leads despite being recruited into the cellar dwellers South Island. They managed a full team of 6 players this week but still lost - not helped by ACT Crusader turning up late. Dolamite now leads by 16 from Gunner while the masses are gathering behind him, Corkscrew in 3rd has 14 players within 20 points.

Best of the week were Triple T and Virgil with 47, both helped by Category Picks. Chiefs v Blues was a popular pick for closest game, Sharks v Jaguares for most one-sided although not with that result I suspect. A few picked either Reds, Sharks or Highlanders for lowest scorers - nobody at all picked Jaguares for highest score. Virgil was one of only 2 to pick 5/6 and one of the view to get the Jaguares as winners, the other with 5/6 was Corkscrew who picked the Stormers.

Blues B won again to stay top, squeaking past the SunJags by a point thanks to DK and Broughie. SunJags were a player short (Bruce Kenyon) so had to count Barbarian's 21 which dragged down GT12's score of 42.

Into 2nd are the BOP Chiefs with a solid 38-31 win over Canes Black. All 6 scores over 30 and Donsteppa the best with 44. Canes Black had @Bones missing and Hydro11 and Cactus Jack with respectable 39s - and nothing else.

A big win for Blues A over the Barbarians moving them into 3rd and knocking the Barbars out of the top 4. Good scores in support of Virgil for Blues A with Triple T not getting the same support from his team mates.

Finally Canes Gold won only their 2nd game of the season, all 6 players 35 or over - best was Winger with 42. South Island just pipped yet again.

In the Cup, debutante Caprice is the champion beating Hooroo in a low scoring affair by just 2 points.

Bones

@KiwiPie ahhh shit. Been a busy time, didn't need the uber stress of thinking about picks. Do Canes black still need me? Might pull out if not eh.
