TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2024

I'm on my way to the bottom, as expected haha

NTA

Ha! Tipped already! Won't get me a third time... At least, not in a row...

The results are in - a much easier week for most of us. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Amazingly @dogmeat was top scorer with 57, managing to nail 4 games with margins. 56 for @gt12 who picked 6/6 along with @BartMan @Dolamite @Duluth @rico1 & @Nevorian

@Waynes-World has hit the top spot by 4 from Triple T with Victor down to 3rd. Bart is up to 4th ahead of @Kirwan who continues his slow AI descent. Usual title contenders @hydro11 & @Winger are lurking in the top 10.

10 wins out of 10 for Barbarians and also wins for Blues B, SunJags and Canes Black who make up the top 4. SunJags lucky to be playing Blues A as both were down to just 4 tippers.

I'll sort out the Sequel Cup soon, have some ties from last week that need to be adjudicated first.

The Sequel Cup is updated now. You qualified for the 32 based on your score last weekend. 9 players tied on 25.5 and 7 of those went through when DK and Delicatessen picked against the Crusaders in game 1 this weekend. 15 through to the 2nd round and Langakali v OomPB is a replay, winner is the first to go ahead next weekend.

Might have to change the AI flavour. FFS.

another week, another round I forgot to tip, FFS

I've just submitted tips for this week - thinking about tipping the remaining fixtures for the year over lunch...

@KiwiPie

Exactly. I have elevated mediocrity to a science.

and it's all my own work.

Kirwan

I think I just made it, was stuck in traffic and forgot the day

Tough week to get all 6 results but @antipodean managed it. Only margins missed were the Highlanders and Brumbies wins and all 4 category selections were correct - resulting in a massive season high score of 72. That was 15 clear of @hydro11 & @Machpants who were next best.

The top 3 (all Barbarians players, @Waynes-World, Triple T, Victor) remain the same but ominously the reigning champion Hydro11 is up to 4th, going for a hat-trick of titles. Then it is @Kirwan @winger ahead of @BartMan who plummeted this week.

The Barbarians had their first defeat of the season by a point to Canes Gold but with 3 rounds to go they are already minor premiers. The battle for the other 3 spots is still between 6 teams with Canes Black, Blues B and SunJags holding the play-off places at the moment.

We are through to the Sequel Cup quarter-finals a big tie coming up with Winger playing Hydro11.

Winger

Kirwan and Bartman going for the underdog in the first game

BartMan

@Winger by accident, I thought game was I hamilton, so home team! Bugger!

Higgins

@BartMan Your selection is down by just five points coming up to half time so you pick might yet prove to be an inspired one!

Fuck's sake, I did the same thing.

I fired the the AI bot and took control myself, and this is what happens.
