@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?

Yes

Yes I can

I fell 22 spots…so apparently I could not

Welcome to the Jags man, you'll fit right in

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.

Now that's a table I can get behind.

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.

The results are in and next week's tipping form is live

Best of the weekend was Fonz with 55, picking all 6 results, 4 with margins, Fiamacho the only other to pick all 6 for 48. 2nd best on 49 were Triple T, @BartMan & @Hurrycanes. Kirwan still leads by 12 from Victor with Waynes World in 3rd. Fonz, Triple T, Bartman and Fiamacho all roar into the top 11.

Worst of the week was @OomPB with just 16, @mikedogz & @Kruse were also below 20.

In the Cup, @hydro11 and @Higgins won their replays by getting a maximum 10 for the Canes game and then won their ties to get into the last 16. Some lucky wins for people scoring low 20s, an unlucky defeat for Fiamacho coming up against Fonz.

The Barbarians march on with yet another win - chasing them hard are SunJags and Blues B. There was a first win for Blues A in the battle of the bottom 2, 4 losses out of 4 for South Island.

@Windows97 has been dropped from the BOP Chiefs after 2 absences replaced by @frugby for next week. @Stag missed this week and will be out of the South Island team for @Nevorian with another absence.

Just as I was contemplating dropping myself after this last weekend’s performance

Disaster strikes.

Just an hour left to tip for this weekend, it looks like most of you have already.

All up to date now on https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/

It looked like being a week for many 6/6 picks until the Force upset - a result only picked by @Kirwan @voodoo & @dK. Best score was @SouthernMann with 59, boosted by 3/4 category picks with voodoo on 57 and @rico1 on 54. With 52, Kirwan has extended his lead to 19 points with only 10 points separating 2nd and 8th, @Waynes-World is now 2nd, @mikey07 3rd and @taniwharugby & SouthernMann share 4th.

The TSF Cup is now at the quarter-final stage. @hydro11 faces SouthernMann, @Higgins is against @BorderJB or Fonz, Mikey07 plays Rico#1 and finally Waynes World battles TR.

The Barbarians made it 5 wins out of 5, taking down Canes Black. Blues B continued their winning sequence against a woeful Blues A to go 2nd. 3rd are the SunJags who lost to Canes Gold who move up to 4th.

Not sure how this happening, but;

@Kirwan I’ll join you don’t know how I’m 3rd I’m normally holding up between 15th-30th

Calling notice for your tips https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit

I'm heading away soon so not entirely sure when I will be able to update the results

Everything is updated https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ - no time for a report right now

Only 4 matches next weekend so 15 points up for grabs per match.

Let me first say: fuck every single one of those teams.

Apologies for missing a reminder on Friday, internet problems.

This is the official reminder for @voodoo @NTA @delicatessen @Nevorian @OomPB @Windows97 @Stag to get back on the tipping - your teams need you as we have no extras to sub in. South Island and SunJags were a player down this weekend.

This comp gets a bit weird when there are only 4 games and at least 3 of them are complete home bankers. Plenty of 4/4 result picks but a few were too cautious on the margins. I was the only one to get 3/4 margins by going for Brumbies 17+. Winger pipped me for top score with 68 by getting 20 points out of 20 for the category picks.

Kirwan was too cautious with his picks and his lead is down to 5.5 over Victor with Waynes World in 3rd, Triple T 4th and Bartman 5th. Having 3 of the top 4 is the reason that the Barbarians are 7/7 halfway through the round robin with Blues B and Canes Gold looking good in 2nd and 3rd. The battle is for the 4th playoff spot between Canes Black, SunJags & BOP Chiefs.

The Cup final will be between Higgins and Waynes World next weekend - single leg final so we can fit another cup competition in.
