Would like to request a transfer to Canes Gold. Or are we adding realism by not selecting Hawke's Bay players for them?

If you can find a replacement for you in the Blues B team then that will make all teams up to 5 players - @bartman seems to have disappeared, @mohikamo and @african-monkey might be persuaded.

@KiwiPie eh, sounds like work. I'll just drag these jafas down with me instead

Is this end of days shit? AB's don't have a coach and options thin on ground, Crusaders lose to Brumbies, Highlanders to the Reds and MP to the Force....I've given up chocolate for Lent but maybe i need to start going to Sunday Mass!

allblacksfan2

And the Canes have gone down to the Drua, damn!

KiwiPie

A tough weekend for nearly all but if you did pick even 3/5 you rocketed up the table. @mikedogz top-scored with 40 and moves up level with @hydro11 at the top of the table. Also picking 3/5 were Langakali, @frugby @corkscrew @antipodean and @kirwan . Worst score was @nickermits who scored 6 in the very last game.

The only unbeaten team so far is Canes Black who have 3 in the top 5 overall. Every team has at least one win.

Top 32 from next week will gain entry into the first round of TSF Cup.

Only missing tipper of the 39 we have was @booboo - up your game!

booboo

Got in early this time

KiwiPie

The late Reds victory stymied a lot of potential 5/5 weekends as @southernmann was the only one to pick the Reds win but he also picked a Crusaders win. Top scorer was @waynes-world with 43 ahead of @taniwharugby with 42 and SouthernMann, Victor and @canes4life with 41. As fast as @mikedogz moved up the table last week, he moved back down just as fast leaving @hydro11 in the lead by 5 from @hurrycanes and @southernmann

There was a clear top 32 scores for the week so everyone with 26 or higher is into the Cup and you can see the cup ties on the Cup section of the tipping site https://silverfern.rugby/tipping

Finally Blues B have hit the top of the table with consistent scoring giving them a win over Canes Black who drop to 2nd.

Kruse

Fuck. I was absolutely certain I had tipped last week - I saw KiwiPie's early reminder, and sat back smug thinking "Ha - I did that early in the week this time".

antipodean

I'm starting to think I'd score more points if I didn't tip.

KiwiPie

Nobody picked 5/5 this week and there were 12 people with 4/5. The best of these were Victor @duluth & @southernmann with 49. At the other end of success, @frugby and @corkscrew picked only 1/5.

@hurrycanes & Victor now take over the lead but the top of the table is very close and one good week can move you up a few places. The quarter-finalists are decided in the TSF Cup.

Wins for Blues B and Canes Black have them leading the table with BOP Chiefs and Barbarians making up the top 4.

booboo

Ah fuck ...

Next weekend there are only 3 games which kind of sucks for this comp and for fantasy but we'll battle on.

Nobody at all picked the Tahs to win so @waynes-world had the best score of the round with maximums for the other 4 games as well as 15/20 on categories. 4 maximums also for @winger & @paj - @hydro11 is back in the lead by 4 from Victor with Waynes World, Winger & Langakali moving up into the top 5. @george33 with the low score of 12 and missing tippers were @canes4life & @landers92

The Cup semi-finalists are @ploughboy Langakali and me with a replay between @duluth & Triple T for the other spot. Canes Black are on top overall ahead of Blues B who could only draw with Canes Gold with a big win for Barbarians moving them up to 3rd place.

Argggh, I thought I did it earlier in the week. My bad.

This comp gets harder when there are only 3 games and so each one has much more importance in terms of points. Nobody at all picked the Force to win but plenty picked up 2/3 and a lot of them had the 17+ margins as well. Also plenty of category points around. The best score was the current leader @hydro11 with 60, getting all 4 category picks correct (@dolamite the only other picker of all 4). The lead is now 9 and the top 5 stay in the same positions. @canes4life the only missing tipper (again) - try putting in some tips now for next weekend? @landers92 & @borderjb submitted their tips late.

The top 4 in the teams comp is already looking set with Canes Black winning 7 of 8 games and leading the way. The cup final is between me and @duluth or Langakali (the one who goes ahead first next weekend). The final is settled over a single weekend and we'll start another cup comp the weekend after.

KiwiPie

The TSF Cup final is between myself and Langakali as Langakali chose Brumbies 1-8 and Duluth went Brumbies 9-16.

KiwiPie

Langakali took the TSL Cup title by posting a season best total in the final - can't argue with that. Along with @hurrycanes they were the only ones to pick 5/5 and top 60 points. The category picks gave nearly everyone 10 points for Chiefs highest scorers and biggest win.

@hydro11 still leads but the gap has closed to 6 over Victor with Langakali up to 3rd. A couple of people tipped late but only @jimmyb was missing altogether - good performance.

Wins for Canes Black and Barbarians have them out in front but the top 4 look to be cruising into the play-offs.

KiwiPie

It could be a pivotal weekend for tipping https://silverfern.rugby/tipping

With nobody picking a Drua win, the key games were Chiefs v Hurricanes where 42% picked the Canes and Force v Crusaders where 69% went Crusaders. Picking both those games correctly for 4/5 were @george33 who top scored with 56 with 20/20 for category picks, me, Langakali, @duluth @antipodean & @landers92 . I only gave points for the Chiefs game as closest game as you can't get closer than a draw.

@hydro11 still leads by 10 from Langakali with Victor dropping to 3rd. There are 6 rounds left to make your push for victory. Missing tippers were @booboo @frugby and @canes4life and @taniwharugby & @kruse were late and missed the first game.

The teams comp is pretty much settled for the top 4 playoffs with Canes Black leading by 7 from Barbarians, BOP Chiefs and Blues B who are a long way ahead of the SunJags.

The Sequel Cup starts next weekend. If you scored 25 or more this weekend, you're in the draw.

jimmyb

@KiwiPie hello, for the home and away this weekend. Are we saying Moana and Drua are away teams? Thanks v much

KiwiPie

@jimmyb That's right. Tip according to how the teams are listed on the form with all the 5 traditional NZ Super teams at home.

KiwiPie

The results are in and the tipping form is live for next week - maybe the likes of @Kruse and @borderjb need to register some tips now so they aren't late. You can pick again later in the week and I use the last tips that you send. https://silverfern.rugby/tipping

It was an easy week to pick results although margins proved more elusive. All but 2 of the tippers, who got their tips in on time, picked 5/5. Best score of the week was @canes4life with 65, getting the margins for all 5 games plus 5 for the Blues v Reds as closest game. He would be near the top without missing 3 weeks of tips!

@hydro11 retains the lead but the pack is closing in, Victor is 5 behind and Langakali is 8 behind.

3 more weeks of games and the top 4 look set, just the placings to be decided. Missing tippers were @frugby @landers92 and @delicatessen

Kruse

@KiwiPie
Your helpful reminders come out in the middle of my night, and I constantly login to The Fern on my Friday morning and see it, then stream expletives as I know I've already missed any Friday night games.

And yes, I've set up my own reminder on work calendar on Thursday afternoons, but..... results speak for themselves.

I need to change timezones.
Or yeah... add more reminders...

Tim

@KiwiPie Just updated mine, as I previously thought that Blues were the home team.

KiwiPie

The results are in https://silverfern.rugby/tipping

There was a season high score of 70 for @ploughboy picking all 5 games with margins plus 2 category picks. Also 5/5 results for @canes4life (66) and @kiwimurph (only 48 due to no category picks). No big change at the top except for Victor falling back to 4th. Anyone from outside the top 4 will have to work hard to win from here, only 4 weeks to go.

Missing tippers were @southernmann @nickermits and @frugby

@hydro11 won the cup replay against @mikey07 but drew again playing @taniwharugby - that is the only replay with 7 through to the quarter-finals of the Sequel Cup.

In the teams comp, Canes Black have all but sealed the minor premiership by beating Barbarians, their only loss all season was to Blues B.

KiwiPie

All updated for the weekend at https://silverfern.rugby/tipping

Best of the weekend was actually me with 66, 5/5, 3 margins and 15 for category picks. Victor and @Tim next best with 63 ahead of Triple T and @joan-and-mary with 61. 11 picked 5/5 with a few backing the Blues, Waratahs and Force.

@hydro11 still holds onto the lead as he has for every week since Round 2 (except dropping to 3rd in Round 6). But the lead is only 4 ahead of me (don't worry I'll crumble) with Langakali and Victor still in touch. Tim is 5th but maybe too far back to win the title with only 3 rounds left.

With just one more round of the teams comp, the semi-finalists are set and probably the match-ups after BOP Chiefs beat Blues B.

The Cup is into the semi-finals. @Hydro11 won another replay against @taniwharugby as TR picked the Blues to win - Hydro11 to play Triple T in one semi and @dolamite to play @paj in the other.

Looks like we've lost @southernmann and @frugby altogether from the comp but everyone else is still playing.
