2016 TSF Super Rugby Tipping www.eglobal.co.nz/tsfs16/tsf.htm

<p>I'm really confused sorry, is the comp done as of last week?</p>

JK

<p>I think so. No new tipping page for the playoffs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cant remember if we normally tip through playoffs?</p>

KiwiPie

<p>Tipping is done just waiting for the lazy organiser to pull finger and announce the winners!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We did try tipping the finals before but the reduced number of games causes problems.</p>

<p>Tell me about it - although I did finally complete the Euro comp I was running so a few select Ferners are happy ....</p>

KiwiPie

<p>And while I'm here</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who's keen on going around the block again for the NPC/Mitre 10 Cup in a few weeks?</p>

dogmeat

<p>I'm keen, particularly if you were to adopt the football tipping format ;)</p>

taniwharugby

<p>I'm always keen...my <strike>guessing</strike> analysis of our provincial comp is far more astute than Super rugby.</p>

broughie

<p>I'm in and thanks for the time you take to put this together.  But if you need a rest I am understanding.</p>

KiwiPie

<p>And finally we're all done</p>

<p>Roll of honour - Hydro takes the individual title, winning it somewhat like Froome won the Tour de France. He built up a big lead midway through and never looked like being caught eventually winning by 45 points from Donsteppa. Cactus Jack sprinted through on the line to take 3rd place and pushing cup winner Stargazer down to 4th.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Team winner - the Barbarians took the final over 2 legs, pipping the BOP Chiefs after they finished 98-98 on aggregate. Over the 2 weeks, their counting players scored 2 more points so effectively a victory by 0.2 of a point.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hydro also picked the most results by 1 from Stargazer. He also picked most correct margins by 5 from Donsteppa. Hydro also had most 50+ and 40+ totals. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So that ends TSF Super tipping for another season. If I get the time, I'll update the overall numbers soon.</p>

<p>Thanks for playing guys. I think for me the key was backing the New Zealand teams and not being afraid to pick them 17+ against foreign opposition when others were going for 1-8.</p>

Thanks KP. Another big effort. Also a shout out to your padawan Higgins

broughie

<p>Great comp.  Congrats to Hydro.  My goal was to beat Crucial because as his nom de plume asserts he is an important member.</p>

JK

<p>Well done Hydro - a comprehensive victory.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And cheers for running it Kiwipie and assisting too Higgins</p>

<p>True that. Many of us were looking at a game like Brumbies v Chiefs and thinking a close Brumbies win or a close Chiefs win (based on previous seasons) but this season, the NZ teams have romped through most games - even at venues where they usually struggle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Congratulations - it was a dominant victory</p>

dogmeat

<p>As above thanks KP (& Higgins) and congrats Hydro.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blues B - recruitment has to start now. Season after season dawns full of optimism but all too quickly descends into the customary mire.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not helped when half the team pull up mid-way through the season with "I've blown my calf" - yeah we all saw you down the pub, or "my new girlfriend wants to go to the craft market on Saturdays"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>then they go to Raro for a break during the international season and never front again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Priorities pussies, priorities.</p>

Thanks KP! <br><br>
Sunjags will be back again next year looking for both titles, right Hydro?
