TSF Tipping 2022

Everything is up to date and the new tipping form is live

Quite a variation in scoring as the double point jeopardy and category picks were great for some people and not so good for others. Tim profited the most with 66, to move up from 15th to 2nd overall. 62 for Hydro11, Winger & Richie and 61 for John Nolan were next best.

Hydro11 is the new leader taking over from Canes4life with Donsteppa and Tim in second equal 13 behind. 2nd spot to 12th is just 7 points so it is really easy to move into the top 10 or move out of it.

Wins for the BOP Chiefs and Barbarians keep them at 1 and 2 on the ladder, the next 4 are separated by just 3 points and are battling to stay in or get into the top 4.

Of the people who tipped, the following missed out on the first round of the cup due to a low score

Broughie
Neale Davies
Hooroo
Dogmeat
Fiamacho
Crucial
Waynes World

Traditional Friday tipping reminder https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

Results are updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ with a new form to submit for this week.

All of @ACT-Crusader @Hooroo @Waynes-World @Virgil @Smudge @Kiwiwomble @Gunner were missing in action this week - come on guys, there is a lot of season left, stick the course!

The top 2 were the top 2 over the weekend, Hydro11 and Tim both scoring 47. 3rd spot is now me due to having the 3rd best score of the weekend. Hydro11 leads by 13, consistency is the key, 40+ every week so far, nobody else has managed that. Fiamacho was the only one to pick 5/5 but didn't nail a margin. Disaster for Dogmeat with just 14 points.

First round of the Cup is over. Just one draw, Kruse and TR will go to a replay - first player next weekend to get a lead.

First defeat of the season for the BOP Chiefs, beaten by Blues A but they still lead by a point from the Barbarians.

First defeat for the BOP Chiefs and you could have made all the difference - but don't feel bad about it.

I've tipped already for this week. I would have got the Cheifs BLues one wrong last week

Here's an early and final reminder to tip ..... https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit

Results are in https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Starting with the teams comp, there are 2 more round robin games and then 4 weeks to cover 2 legged semis and finals. The Barbarians have taken over the lead with a win against Blues B while Canes Gold took down BOP Chiefs by a point to move level on points with them, 2 points off the lead. Canes Black hold the other top 4 spot but both the SunJags and Blues A can still make the top 4 with 2 wins in their final games.

It was all about the category picks this week with plenty of points on offer and fairly predictable choices. 20 points out of 20 for Tim, John Nolan, KP and Winger. Top score was 64 for the latter 3 plus Hurrycanes who along with Plasterered Peni and Fiamacho were the only ones to pick 5/5 as not many went for the Blues.

No real change at the top overall as the top 5 all scored 64 or 62.

Through to the Quarter-Finals of the Cup are Tim, Hydro11, Winger, TR, John Nolan, GT12, KP and Higgins.

@kiwipie by far the worst 'winner' in this round of the cup haha

Whats happening with the postponed game

@Winger said in TSF Tipping 2022:

Whats happening with the postponed game

Too late to change the form so it will just be ignored - if I'm in a good mood, everyone gets 10 for that game, neutral mood everyone gets 5, as it is a long weekend it is very unlikely I will be grumpy and give everyone 0.

@KiwiPie YAY Looks like I'm good for at least 5 points

One of my better weeks then...

It's only @broughie who's picked that so far

If he picks something else it should be ok?

@Duluth that figures. The game that was going to propel me front running status is postponed.

You can post your choice for closest game on here if you want and I will adjust your entry. Only other one is Richie who has Moana as low scorers - @Joan-and-Mary can you get another choice posted onto the thread?

And of course, reminder to tip as well https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit

Just to confirm, these are registered as 'home' games for the Chiefs, Moana Pasifika etc as written on the teamsheets?

@KiwiPie Last time is 9pm tonight?

@KiwiPie how about the Cane Reds game.

Yes as all games are in Melbourne.

Correct 9pm NZ time.

Everything is up to date at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and next week's tipping form is live. Keep an eye out for any postponements and tip again if you can as I'll use your latest tips.

Because of the Moana v Force game being postponed, I awarded a total of 10 points for that game and the category picks for Fewest Points and Closest game as that game was already selected. The other 2 category picks were scored as usual.

5/5 games picked correctly for Tim, Hurrycanes, Donsteppa, GT12, Victor, Machpants, DK, Mikey07, TR, J77 and Dogmeat. 4 maximums for Rico#1. Top scorers were Victor and Mikey07 with 59 points. Stockcar86 picked both available categories (Chiefs for top scorers and Crusaders as biggest margin) for 57 and Dogmeat scored 56 (mentioned as usually his scores of note are the lowest ones).

No real change at the top, just Winger jumped above Plastered Peni into 4th and Canesforlife vaulted above Higgins into 8th.

In the Teams comp, just one more week to go and Canes Gold and Barbarians are definitely into the semis while Blues A have faint chances of knocking out BOP Chiefs or Canes Black.

Finally in the TSF Cup, wins for Tim and John Nolan who will meet in one semi-final and GT12 who will meet either Hydro11 or KP in the other semi - they will replay starting with the first game next week.

almost as big a shock as Pumpkin beating Pho.

I'm still in denial over that!

You know that non-Musk-o-vites (formerly known as Twitheads) have no idea what you're going on about.

@KiwiPie that's the bonus

They'll think I'm channeling my inner @Tim

I’ve saved my run until now to try climb up the table

Don't forget to tip everyone

Tough week this one.

It is all updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Best score of the weekend was Higgins with 50, getting 10 category points for Force as lowest scorer and Reds v Chiefs as closest game. Nobody picked 6/6 with no picks for the Waratahs to win but all the top 5 picked 5/6 so no big change - Hydro11 and Tim scored 45 each so the lead remains at 11.

Barbarians beat BOP Chiefs to win the minor premiership and set up a playoff against the same team. The Hurricanes teams Gold and Black drew and will also face each other again next week in the other playoff. Playoffs are played over 2 legs.

Hydro11 and Tim won their TSF Cup semi-finals so the top 2 in the league will compete in the Cup final over 2 legs.

Back to back wins for Blues B for the first time this season :winking_face:

Meanwhile after being unbeaten for the first 6 games, the BOP Chiefs have lost 4 in a row to limp into the semi-finals. Up your game @Donsteppa @bayimports @Unite @Hooroo @mikedogz and and me too I suppose!

@KiwiPie Sorry KP, Richie has been in hospital, heart, home now but very frail....been run off my feet....

That's not good, sorry to hear that. Best wishes to yourself and Richie.

Tipping time people - don't forget - pointy end of the season https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

Tipping time people - don't forget - pointy end of the season

This is where I make my late charge. The direction on the ladder isn't specified.

Sorry for the late update - off sick today so will get to it once I'm out of bed.

The update is complete https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Hooroo was the top tipper of the weekend with 52, ahead of Corkscrew with 51 with Fiamacho 3rd best with 49 along with Victor, Fiamacho the only one to pick 6/6 results. Hydro11 retains an 11 point lead at the top.

In the playoff first leg ties, Barbarians take a 1 point lead against the BOP Chiefs and Canes Gold leading Canes Black by 3.

Hydro11 and Tim are all square in their TSF Cup final after the 1st leg.
