TSF Tipping 2022

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

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....

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.

It's your almost beer o'clock tipping reminder https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit

Everything is up to date at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Hydro11 cemented his spot at the top with 2 weeks to go, top scoring with 54 along with Winger. All the top 7 picked 6/6 so it came down to margins and the tricky category picks. Hydro's lead is now 16 from Tim with Winger up to 3rd, 6 points back.

In the teams comp, the final will be Barbarians v Hurricanes Gold, to be fought out over 2 weeks.

Hydro11 also won the TSF Cup, beating Tim by 93 to 88.

Make your tips - this is the penultimate tipping round before your mid-year break.

With one week to go, it is still all to play for with TSF Tipping. https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Huge scores for most people as all the results went as expected (bat the Highlanders). Bay Imports had the season high 77/80, 6/6 and only missing one margin. Tim and Higgins next best with 70 and that moves Tim to just 8 behind Hydro11 with Higgins in 3rd another 13 back. Antipodean was the only other player to pick 6/6.

In the final, Barbarians lead Canes Gold 65-54 after the 1st leg with Crucial not even bothering to turn up. BOP Chiefs lead Canes Black 60-44 in the 3rd place play-off.

Most matches with the correct result picked is Tim with 59/71 and most correct with margin is Hydro11 with 37/71.

Whats the all seasons record high? 77/80 must come close

@Winger Could be the highest, will run a complicated query on the Tipping giant database tonight and let you know.

Pretty poor that @bayimports got a margin wrong to be honest

To be fair, if the highlanders had not scored in the 80th minute, I do believe I would have had the clean sweep ...oh so close
