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.

Don't forget your tips, less than 2 hours to do it https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/
If you're in the TSF Tipping comp, you almost certainly had a bad weekend - unless you're @Kirwan or Richie who somehow managed to score 49 and 47. Kirwan benefited from picking the Crusaders to thrash the Drua as it was the biggest winning margin (the other way) and Richie had 4 perfect picks. At the other end of the scale there were some very low scores, @sportboy the lowest with just 7.
The leaderboard has completely changed with Kirwan (up from 9th) now leading by 8 from Waynes World with Mikey07 in 3rd. Richie has risen from 30th to 4th, level with Victor.
Barbarians remain on 3 wins from 3, thrashing the sorry BOP Chiefs. SunJags dealt to Blues A easily and there were also wins for Blues B and Canes Gold. The 4 winners are the top 4 with Canes Black just outside the 4. 3 defeats in a row for South Island and Blues A.
With 2 absences in a row, George has been dropped from Blues A and @OomPB is drafted in. Missing this week were also @Windows97 & @KiwiMurph - there are @Nevorian and @frugby waiting to step in if they are missing again next week.
The TSF Cup draw has been made - the top 32 scores for the weekend qualified. There are play-offs between Hydro11 & Winger and between Higgins and Duluth to make that first round. The first player to go ahead next weekend goes into the main draw.
I was going to tip the Drua but at last moment thought surely the Saders won't lose three on the trot...
Fucking Cantab's. Never trust them
Time to tip everyone. Sorry Canes fans but I've finally picked against the Crusaders for tonight's game.
