mind is everywhere at the moment, work stuff i doubt id remember to tip half the time!

Tipping half the time but not overthinking it sounds good enough for a Top Ten finish.

then why havent i won every tipping comp since 2008...

Because there is a (BoP) Mafia involved? 🙂 Top ten isn't quite victory either...

The scores are in https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

In the Teams comp, wins for Counties-Waikato, Wairarapa Bush, South Island & Wellington. Northland were 2 players short and BOP 1 player short (if you don't tip you score 5 less than the lowest score - in this case 17 as DK scored 22).

South Island lead after 2 rounds with Counties-Waikato & Wellington also 2 wins from 2. Hawke's Bay, Harbour-Auckland and Northland all with 2 defeats to start.

Best of the weekend was Dogmeat with 57 points, picking all 7 games (as did TR and Bay Imports). Most picked 6/7 which meant higher scoring overall than last week. Hooroo still holds the overall lead by 6 from Corkscrew and Stargazer with Justin77 up to 4th and Langakali to 5th.

Missing tippers from last week were Jonathan Wiltshire @sportboy @KiwiMurph @Gunner Andrew Farrell and @FarNthHayden

dogmeat

@snowy I would never credit / accuse you of anything as substantial as a plan...

No I meant the tippers that are missing haven't been in your basement (I assume)

Snowy

@dogmeat Right you are then, re me ever having a plan that actually might work is ludicrous.

The question then is have any of these tippers "visited" my place. Did they piss me off?

When it was small you went big and vice-versa!

2nd Friday now... I get a pop-up reminder on work calendar - to do various bits of paperwork, with the very first item on the list being "TSF Tipping"...

  • I excitedly click on the link, and start thinking about a weekend of rugby ahead...
  • And then remember... yeah.... nah....

The more I think about it the more I think that we should just stop the comp now.

Only 4 games but your score will be out of 80 as that is what we do. First round of the TSF Cup as well.

Cheers KP.

Have you thought of picking out maybe a Heartland and/or FPC match to pad things out?

@crucial fark, as if we know anything about those matches...our tips will be pure guesses!

@kiwipie I will be sitting out this one. I’ll wait until there is some sort of normality. Thanks.

This is carrying on from the earlier comp - teams comp etc - you team needs you.

@kiwipie Oh OK. There’s no “I” in team so I’m back in the game. I apologize for my selfishness.
