Get your tips in NOW! I mean NOW! Because the game is in Samoa, the Moana Pasifika v Reds game starts at 4.05pm NZ time.
sssh
You've just destroyed my only chance of doing OK this round.
Every game is a coin toss for me

is that different to how you tip normally?

Dan54 with the season best's score of 70.5, almost perfect except for missing the margin for the Waratahs game and having Waratahs as top scorers rather than Brumbies. Langakali 62 and all 4 category picks correct. At the other end of the scale, a season low of 7.5 for Corkscrew which meant that all non-tippers scored just 2.5.
Higgins increased his lead to 31 with Bartman and Winger in joint 2nd. Donsteppa and Crucial move into the top 10.
Langakali wins the Cup, Laurence failed to show making it a 62-2.5 final score. The Sequel Cup starts next weekend, top 32 scores of this weekend are in.
The unluckiest team in the comp is Blues B, for the second week running they were equal top scorers but were playing against the other top scorer. BOP Chiefs, Canes Black, Barbarians look comfortable as the top 3 with Canes Gold and SunJags battling it out for the 4th spot.
@Canes4life hasn't tipped for some time. Team might need you this week
Tips are due https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

Best score for the weekend was Kruse with a new season high of 71 points. 20/20 for category picks, 4/4 picks for games and margin missed for Crusaders and Force wins. Rico#1 with 66 and Duluth 63 the next best. No huge change at the top and Higgins still leads by 31 overall with Winger and Hydro11 level in 2nd, Tim in 4th and Bartman dropping down to 5th.
Wins for BOP Chiefs and Barbarians mean they are almost certain for the play-offs, Canes Black and Gold clear in 3rd and 4th.
The Sequel Cup started with the top 32 from last week going into the draw. All ties decided except Winger and Triple T go into a replay.

@KiwiPie Looks like Barbarians also got a team record with 57? I look forward to the top of the table clash this weekend.
Yes tough clash for us - need some of the weak links in our team (me for example) to step up
@Crucial said in TSF Super Tipping 2023:
Is there a problem with the 'check my tips spreadsheet? It is only showing 4 games for me.
The columns are weird with the changes to the form (down to 4 games then back up to 6) but all the data is being recorded (if you go the right of the spreadsheet)

You've just described my technique.
Your regular Friday reminder to get tipping - 6 games again this week which is much better for everyone https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

No real change at the top as the top 3 scored 58 or 59 - 59 was the top score achieved by Winger, DK, Machpants and Dan54. Plenty picked 6/6 for results yet BorderJB managed just 2/6 and the week's low of 21. Winger moves above Hydro11 into 2nd but still 30 points behind Higgins. 6 more weeks of tipping, the 5 weeks of the regular season plus the quarter-finals. 2 more weeks of round robin for teams to play and then there will be 2 leg semis and finals.
Barbarians beat BOP Chiefs in the top of the table clash meaning their playing records are the same but the Chiefs lead through grabbing more bonus points (an attacking bonus point is picking 3+ more margin picks than the opposition). Canes Gold beat Canes Black to move above them and wins for the SunJags and Blues B keep them in contention for a top 4 finish. The Cup quarter-finalists are decided.
The success rate for tipping is almost 90% for results and almost 50% for margins - 4 seasons ago only one tipper was better than 70% and only 2 tippers over 30% for margins. Definitely a much more predictable season.

The gap at the top has been halved with Hydro11 top scorer of the week with 49 and Higgins only getting 31. The lead is now just 13 points with 5 weeks to go. Nobody managed 6/6 with the Drua and Waratahs wins unexpected. Next best scores were 46 for Rico#1 and Nevorian.
The Sequel Cup semis are between Tim & Chimoaus and Sportboy & Hydro11.
With one round left, the 4 into the play-offs are decided with BOP Chiefs & Barbarians left to battle it out for top spot and Canes Gold and Black for 3rd and 4th.
Regular reminder to remember to tip https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/
Everything is up to date at https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Best of the weekend was Dolamite with 50 points. Nobody picked the Reds to win and nobody picked Blues as low scorer or Chiefs v Reds as closest game so scoring was lower. Quite a few had the Canes as top scorer and largest victory for 10 category points.
Higgins extends his lead at the top to 18 with 4 weeks left to play. The top 4 remain in the same positions.
The round robin section is complete for the teams comp with BOP Chiefs the minor premiers. This was confirmed when Canes Black beat Barbarians to earn themselves a semi-final against the same team.
The final of the cup is between Tim and Sportboy - 2 legs over the next 2 weekends.

Despite the Barbarians being comfortably the leading team for points scored for they also have the leakiest defence as the team conceding the most points (although there is not much you can do about that). At least it makes for exciting fixtures!

Hurricanes Gold were missing two players this week.
@Canes4life has been out for some time. Hopefully he can make it back for the next 3 or 4 weeks. Initially to make the semi's edit to win the first round of the semi and then to help in the 2nd round and maybe even the final
@Machpants was also missing. Unusual as he usually tips
These are the play-off games this weekend - 2 legged affairs
The Barbarians are 4 time champions, the BOP Chiefs have never won the title but have been runners-up 4 times. Both Canes Black and Canes Gold have 2 titles each.

Despite the fact that I can't get out of Canes Gold. Any good record they have is with my handicap.
@Crucial you're doing well this year. And this last week doesn't matter as we were certain to make the top 4.
Hopefully the full team including @Canes4life make it this coming week.

I went to the page and it was all filled in for me? So I didn't tip. Weird
EDIT Same this week the first 3 games already have tips in them, so last week I thought I must've already tipped. Not sure why the buttons are already clicked for the first 3 games. Shit tips too
@Machpants In order to see if your tips have gone through you need to go to the "Have I Tipped" tab and then scroll right through to the bottom of the spreadsheet as the lastest are always tacked onto the end.
@Machpants If you mean the "Have I tipped" spreadsheet, then as Higgins says, all of the latest tips are appended to the end. And because we have used the same form for all 12 weeks then the spreadsheet now looks a bit weird as we dropped from 6 to 4 games in a weekend and then back up to 6.
@Duluth Great idea - I have enough stats for both Super and NPC tipping.
Quite a few names on the list who no longer compete but also a fair few who play every year. Interesting how the current top 6 all feature heavily in the top 3 spots over the years. 5 of the 6 are previous winners and Tim has been second 3 times.
