KP, no 2024 Super tipping?
There will be, a few more days and I'll post it up
Might as well start a new thread..
First game is nine days away (Friday 23rd of February). For the forgetful that's plenty of time to work how to add a calendar reminder
At some time over the next week I'll finish of a TSF Wiki area. That will hold info about previous Tipping winners.
It'll also have other info like @booboo 's team of the year results, a summary of the AB MOTM votes by year, Auckland, Blues & Northland MOTM summaries by year etc
It's mostly built but I just have to populate the data
The first tipping form of the year is live. To enter the competition, just post your tips for week 1. For your team, select your usual team or if you're a new or returning player, you can choose "Individual" as your team and you will be assigned to a team that needs players.
The form is at the usual URL
The full details of the competition are also at the usual URL
I've put up the leaderboard from last years Super Tipping Comp so you can see who you played for and where you finished.
- Hydro11 of Canes Black
- Higgins of Barbarians
- Winger of Canes Gold
Team Winners: Barbarians beating the BOP Chiefs in the final.
TSL Cup Winner: Langakali
Sequel Cup Winner: Tim
Reminder - also a SuperBru pool: https://www.superbru.com/superrugby/pool.php?p=12748009
If you're a tipper who likes seeing the lineups first, the teams are listed here: https://thesilverfern.com/teamsheets/
Oh yeah, ads are coming back soon. Top 3 in this competition will be ad free for a year (patreon donators will also be ad free)
(costs have gone up in the last couple of years)
Last we ended up with 38 active tippers, we currently have 31. But the more the merrier and people do drop out
Apologies for the obnoxious tagging but I'll just ping a few of the people who log in regularly:
@antipodean @Unite @Victor-Meldrew @Virgil @MN5 @mariner4life @taniwharugby @dogmeat @Hooroo @Nevorian @NTA @barbarian @george33 @nzzp @voodoo @Bovidae @MajorRage @canefan @ARHS @KiwiMurph @ACT-Crusader @Chris @sparky @No-Quarter @reprobate @bayimports @Chris-B @frugby @Daffy-Jaffy @booboo @Windows97 @Bones @chchfanatic @African-Monkey @cgrant @nostrildamus @Frank @Old-Samurai-Jack @Nepia @Godder @Yeetyaah @Smudge @Nogusta @Rancid-Schnitzel @Pepe
Or (mostly) blind picking by foreigners? @MiketheSnow @Catogrande @Dodge
Shit that was really obnoxious. Ignore me if you aren't interested
Pick 'Individual' if you don't know what team to join: https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit
Good work all - over 40 entrants with a few hours to go. For new tippers, don't forget after the 1st week!
If you're more likely to see Facebook posts than Fern posts then there is a TSF Tipping group that you can join.

Call it for the Jags now KP. My shout.
The results are in for week 1 and the form is live for week 2 if you want to tip now to be sure you don't forget. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ has the leaderboard plus all the other stats across the tabs.
Early leaders are Dogmeat and Waynes World. Average tipping for Dogmeat but somehow he managed to pick all 4 of the categories for 20 points when around half the tippers pick zero categories. Waynes World with 3 maximums out of 6, beaten only by Victor and JL on debut who picked 4/6. Picking all 6 results correctly - 72% went 6/6.
50 tippers in all for week 1, only OomPB and frugby are playing as individuals as their chosen team was full - everyone else has been fitted in somewhere. Please try to keep playing all season as the team results were really close in the first week - wins for Barbarians who go top, SunJags, BOP Chiefs and Canes Black but all losing teams picked up a bonus point for within 7. An attacking bonus point is scored if your team had 3 or more maximums than the opposition - Barbarians and SunJags achieved that.

@KiwiPie can't believe the BoP dont want me.
You're in the wider training squad.
I changed to Canes Black this year, wasn't comfortable having my name against anyone but Canes like last year. Not saying I will pick any better of course!
@voodoo said in TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2024:
@KiwiPie I'm not really on debut, I got a bit confused and put JL for my name rather than my TSF moniker - happy for it to be changed back to Voodoo!
Excited to be part of the mighty SunJags...
OK I will switch you over this coming week - can you keep this good start going?

@KiwiPie HI Nick, please could you change my picks, I made a mistake, ticked the Waratahs instead of the Crusaders. Very sorry. :anguished_face:
Quick delete this 
The results are up for the weekend https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
A much tougher week to pick with nobody getting 6/6, TR the best with 5/6 backing Moana when most went for Drua. Top scores were @SouthernMann & @mikey07 with 42, only 4 reached 40. Lowest for @dK who was late tipping and @Joan-and-Mary with 14 (shouldn't have changed her correct pick for the Waratahs).
@Waynes-World had a good 38 to lead on his own, 6 clear of @dogmeat who is 5 clear of Victor.
Wins for both Canes teams plus Blues B and Barbarians. Biggest win was for Blues B despite them having the 2nd lowest total for the weekend - the SunJags bombed completely, nobody was over 30 and 3 were below 20.
