@Duluth I see @Phooey is tipping??!! The original version???

That person only tipped Crusaders by 9-16 and not 17+ so likely not the original. πŸ˜‰

Duluth

@voodoo

I think so.. I believe he tips every year.

He just doesn't think we are worthy of speaking to anymore

Hard to argue with that I guess

ACT Crusader

I’m due.

Just in case anyone still can't find out where to tip (and it hasn't moved for a couple of years since @Duluth did his great work in giving it a permanent home

Bookmark it etc.

Looking good so far with 34 entries (40 is the minimum we need and there are a few who like to leave it late) and a lot of the usual suspects back (plus a couple of newcomers). I'll post into the main forum to see if we can pick up some more new players.

I have meticulously studied the team sheets of 1 of the teams playing, thrown a few darts at a wall and made my picks for the week!

With this kind of prep, you guys are all done, done I tell ya!

Your over thinking it..

taniwharugby

@Virgil better than underthinking that I usually do...see, you are in big trouble!

dogmeat

@taniwharugby Nah I've tried that method in the past. I reckon / hope going for the team with the nicest jerseys and / or coolest name is a sure thing. e.g. Some punters might think Blues vs Chiefs is going to be close but if you bother to put in some in depth analysis. Blues - it ain't exactly a happy state of being. Chiefs - the boss man. Plus Blues - a jersey shattered (dreams) vs (for the purposes of analysis I ignore away jerseys) black. It's a no brainer.

taniwharugby

@dogmeat nah I have a process and with the indepth analysis, this is gonna be easy, you wait and see!

Crucial

Superbru Week 1

Crucial v Donsteppa
Mary v Unite
TR v Dolamite
Higgins v DK
Mikedogz v jnieuwou
Kiwipie v Kruse
Victor v Jeff

'Jeff' seems to be the only one that hasn't done their tips.

@Crucial that's me, I'm on it today!

taniwharugby

@voodoo never picked you as a Jeff...

taniwharugby

@voodoo too late for that now Jeff.

Fuck!

Stupid internet.

@ACT-Crusader and you fools thought I hung myself in prison...

With the final game of the weekend still in the balance, I'm looking for some missing stalwarts to see if they still want to be involved. Specifically @JK @FarNthHayden @Canerbry @Bones (in answer to your previous question, of course you should be involved!) and @chimoaus - I'm not sure who Bruce Kenyon is on the Fern but him too. If you get tips in for week 2, you're in and you'll start 5 behind the lowest scorer this weekend (so probably @antipodean ).

Clubhouse leader before the Jaguares game is amazingly @Hooroo who is the only tipper with 6/6 so far. He's gone Lions 1-8.

Higgins

@KiwiPie So he will end up 6 from 7 then!

Dragged back to the pack. I am guessing plenty on 6/7. Margins will be the difference to with most picking Saders for highest score.

KiwiPie

It's all live at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

and last season's winner Hydro11 (and winner 3 out the last 4 seasons) is already out in front. New form is up so get your tips in for next week.

JK

Sorry mate, meant to get involved but week got away from me.

Next year!

So I've got the bad week out of the way in the first round. Only way is up from here!

tick tock

If that wasn't conclusive evidence for jerseys over darts

taniwharugby

@dogmeat I'm playing the long game, you dont win it in round 1 pal, sheesh, old folk these days!

voodoo

I've just seen that I'm "competing" for Blues A - now I'm conflicted as to whether to try to pick correctly or deliberately sabotage my team by picking losers.

Like it makes any difference πŸ˜€

taniwharugby

@voodoo just pretend you are sabotaging the team when your picks are shit anyway πŸ˜‰

KiwiPie

Some team news - DrivingMaul failed to tip so he has been dropped by Canes Black for Bones who turned up a week late. Nevorian has also turned up a week late and has joined Blues B as they were the only team with 5 - so as of right now all teams have 6 players, let's see if this can last all season.

A few went for the Sharks but only 1-8 - namely Richie, Smudge, Broughie and DK- Smudge leads with 15 as the only one of the 4 to pick the Brumbies 9-16. Everyone picked a Brumbies win so close scores all round so far. Broughie leads overall, posting this in case he never leads again!

BOP Chiefs 9 - 8 Hurricanes Black
Blues A 9 - 9 Barbarians
Blues B 11 - 9 SunJags
South Island 10 - 9 Hurricanes Gold

Broughie 63
Hydro11 62
Langakali 62
Higgins 62
OomPB 62
Sportboy 61
Hooroo 59
GT12 59
Virgil 58
Smudge 58

Smudge

I expect I'll collapse in the latter half of the weekend.
