<p>Another thrilling week in the world of TSF Tipping and for once, most of the games went to form. As usual, some of the margins were hard to pick (Bulls, Tahs with close wins, Highlanders 17+ away from home) and your performance largely rested on a. getting your tips in on time and b. picking the Crusaders and Stormers to win. Broughie and Stargazer topped all scorers with 68/80 and 8/8 results. Midge also went 8/8 while Hydro and Donsteppa missed one result each but had 5 maximums in total. Hydro extended his lead to 16 over Redeye with Donsteppa storming up to 3rd. New entrants to the top 10 were Midge, Triple T and Stargazer - Chaz crashed down from 4th to 16th with the worst total of the weekend and just 4/8 results picked.<br><br>
Bonus point wins for the SunJags and Barbarians keep them at 1 and 2 on the ladder, a win for the BOP Chiefs solidifies their 3rd spot and the win for Blues B lifts them to 6th and just 3 points behind the South Island in 4th.<br><br>
The BOP Chiefs beat the South Island 55-48 with Midge and Donsteppa starring at 60+ and KP and Unite in the low 40s did not hurt too much. The South Island's Wildman did not turn up and Redeye and ACT Crusader were the only 50+ scores.<br><br>
The Blues derby went the way of the B team by 56-50. Broughie's superb 68 was backed up well by the team with a relatively high 48 able to be discarded. For the As, TR and Tim went to Eden Park instead of North Harbour and the rest were OK but with nothing higher than a 53.<br><br>
The Barbarians beat Canes Black 58-52, their season high total based on Stargazer's 68 and Triple T's 60 with the rest all backing them solidly. Solid from the Canes Black but with no outstanding performer, Stockcar86 and Paj with 55 apiece.<br><br>
Finally the new team the SunJags continued their outstanding start, Hydro their star yet again with 61 but with 50+ from all the other counting tippers. They beat the Canes Gold 55-47 and Gold were the lowest of the weekend, Plastered Peni and Antipodean the only 50+ scores.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>in hindsight, texting Tim to ask where the game was, was obviously a poor decision! </p>

<p>Good turnout this week, only Gibbit missing of the team players. Wildman is gone for good so Richie steps up for the South Island to bring them back up to 6. WtW has disappeared also but hopefully returns.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone went Highlanders, those to pick 9-16 were DK, Dogmeat, Unite, Paj, Stockcar86, Chaz, Redeye, ACT Crusader, Joan and Mary, Bones and GT12. Timslim was too late to count for game 1.</p>

<p>Update with one game to go - some close games here. For potential high/low scorers, Mikedogz for the Sunjags and Timslim for South Island have the Chiefs to score most, Rico has Jaguares to score the least.</p>

<p>Well done Gibbit, if only the Clan weren't utterly useless for 60mins!</p>

<p>Get your tips in people - preliminary round of the TSF Cup this weekend. Top 16 scorers straight through to last 32, 17-48 will play-off next weekend to join them.</p>

<p>sweet, I put 2 lots of tips in, 2 chances at the cup! </p>

<br>
Shit! This is traditionally the point where I crash and burn.

<p>2 games to go and plenty of tippers are still 5/5 with results. But only the runaway leader Hydro is 5/5 with margins, 50/50 so far and his current lead is a massive 31 over Hooroo in 2nd who is doing nicely with 45/50. Plenty of close games in the teams comp but the SunJags have a 4 point lead and the Barbarians trail by 3 which could see the SunJags increase their lead after tomorrow. </p>

<p>He is quite remarkable so far, 5 of 8 scores over 50 and almost 50% picking for correct result and margin. 31 ahead of Redeye who is also scoring well with Hooroo, Crucial and Hurrycanes well over 50 to make a breakaway top 5. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Sunjags keep winning but all the other teams are still in with a chance - it is a great season as all teams have been full every week so lots of close games.</p>

<p>The absentee  Mikedogz must be unknowingly smiling with satisfaction with his default Away 17+ running  for him. He is the sole tipper to have a Sharks win recorded in their favour.</p>

<p>We changed that rule due to people actually scoring well without tipping - now you get 5 points fewer than the lowest tipper of the week.</p>

<p>Nobody has more than 3/5 so far, margins tough to pick also and a few only have 1/5. Naturally Hydro is the leading scorer with 25, the only one to go Tahs 17+. Sportboy on 24, rewarded for being the only picker of the Sunwolves. On 7 are TR, Phooey, ACT and Timslim (who missed the first 2 games). </p>

Lucky I was in the top 16 last week for the cup!

Lucky I'm playing mikedogz in the cup!

<p>A bit of relief for tipsters as the 2 games overnight went to form and plenty bagged 20 points.</p>

<p>We're live now. And so it goes on for Hydro - he's passed 50 six times in 9 weeks while nobody else has done it more than 3. He is top on results picked and well clear on margins picked. He now leads by 43 from Hooroo with Crucial in 3rd.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2 draws leave the SunJags ahead by 4 points from the Barbarians with the BOP Chiefs and Blues A the other teams in the playoff spots.</p>

<p>An investigation is in order - that's supernatural.</p>

<p>Not many margins being picked so far - plenty of correct result tips. Missing tippers are Mariner4Life, Glath and Mikedogz with a few late arrivals losing points for the Chiefs game. Best so far is yours truly on 17 (only one to pick Bulls 17+) and Richie, ACT, Chaz and Paj on 15 through picking the Chiefs 1-8.</p>

<p>Not much change in the individual standings - for once Hydro could only pick one margin but still tipped 7/8. Nobody got 8/8 (Stormers v Tahs caught a lot out) but there were plenty of 7s. FarNthHayden the best of the week with 4 margin picks of his 7 tips. All the 5 behind Hydro in the table gained on him but previous 2nd and 3rd placers, Hooroo and Crucial, both had bad weeks and now sit 7th and 8th. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the teams, wins for both Blues and both Canes teams and given all of them started the season poorly, the ladder is closing right up. 4 more games before the play-offs start and all teams can still make the top 4 although South Island are on a downward trend. Just a single point separates each of positions 4-8, Blues A are 2 ahead in 3rd, the Barbarians 2 further ahead in 2nd. Basically any team that can finish with more wins than defeats should be in with a chance.</p>

<p>I've already had to make one comeback. Two might be a stretch in this battle for second place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Places 2-9 are still pretty close with only one correct tip covering the field.</p>

<p>Correct - and if Hydro forgets to tip one week, the title could still be up for grabs!</p>

<p>Or if 'someone' refuses to accept his tips one week...... :whistle:</p>

<p>Glath, Mariner4Life,Mikedogz and D Up, you guys missed the easy points available from last night but there are still plenty of points on hand in the remaining games so please get your tips in and take advantage of them!</p>

<p>Not such a predictable run for the remaining games. The key was picking the Highlanders which 5 people did and the Sharks who were backed by 7. Nobody combined the 2 to pick all 7 though - best on 6/7 were Hooroo, Rico#1, Victor, Bones, Midge and Virgil. Margins were tricky for all with Brumbies/Sharks/Force just making the 17+ and Waratahs and Blues just missing out. Nobody picked the Force as top scorers but quite a few backed the Reds as lowest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hooroo the best of the weekend to bounce back into 2nd spot. For once Hydro had a bad weekend and all the chasers gained on him - but he still leads by 38. In the teams comp, only 10 points separate top from bottom as the SunJags and Barbarians are stalling. Blues A lost 4 in a row earlier in the season but haven't lost since and are 2 behind the SunJags who still lead. </p>

<p>Hell thats an arse kicking, well done JK. Not even accidentally picking the Kings 17+ can be used in mitigation! Sorry Baabaas for the stinker I am having this week, hopefully we can still make it into the playoffs.</p>

<p>Ouch. Really got kicked by the margins this week.</p>
