  Final scores are up for the weekend. https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ Richie and Kiwiwomble shared the top score of 49, Richie getting 7/7 picks (the only one on a tricky weekend) but not getting a category pick when the majority of tippers picked Auckland as top scorers. Dice is the new leader, Stagazer up to 2nd, Kiwiwomble in 3rd and Caprice shares 4th with Gunner. Richie shoots into the top 10 in 8th place. Big falls for Virgil, Kruse and DK. Wairarapa Bush and South Island are the top 2 in the teams comp but it is very close with only Counties-Waikato winless and needing probably 4 wins from 4 to make the semis. All of those winning in the TSF Cup go into the first round proper next week to join the 16 who pre-qualified last week.

  @KiwiPie The Bonus Point (BP) is awarded to the tipper that gets closest to the actaul points dirrefence margin of the match. I you strike it by yourself you get the full 1 point value available but if there are more than one then the one point is divided amongst all those closest. Think the lowest you can get is 0.25 no matter how hany actually qualify to share the spoils. The Margin Point (MP) of 0.5pts is earned if your tipped margin wis no more than five either side od the actual margin. Can be a bit annoying if yours is six and aothers are thirty nine. One very close and the other in Heartland Championship Development Team Division area but you still miss out on the margin point. The GSP (Grand Slam Point) gets you two bonus points if you tip all winners for a particular round.

  @taniwharugby said in TSF Mitre 10 Cup Tipping 2018: @kiwipie I reckon me, J77, FarNorthHayden & Gunner would all have been in the 2008 squad! It was the fresh face of Fiamacho that helped though I dug it out of the archive - Northland team photo from 2008 (man, look at those hairstyles) along with their overall placing The Champ is Here 2 TR 6 Duluth 15 D-Up 25 J77 27 FarNthHayden 47 67 person comp that season. Overall winner was Brakdov with DK, BobbyDigital and Tim rounding out the top 5.

Fullback 2016 - POLL (Just for NTA): Too fucking late No, it's not. It's never too late to admit the mistakes(booboos?) you've made in life. Or in leaving out the 6 Nations Player of the Tournament...... Oh and he plays for Scotland too...... @Pot-Hale no. It's too fucking late. You've had over three weeks. Your mistake was not nominating. Now now - there's no need to be cranky. If you don't want to include him because you didn't think of him, that's okay to say so.... I don't think you grasp how this works. It's not up to Booboo to nominate every option. You should have nominated the 2nd best fullback this year. Eh I grasp it clearly Virgil. I know it's not up to BooBoo - I'm taking the pish, it's just banter. In my defence, I did actually say something in the nominations like " yeah Smith not bad, Stuart Hogg was pretty good too or a good second" - or words to that effect. Edit: @Pot-Hale said in 15. Fullback of the Year 2016: Smith?? Yeah's he's not bad. Stuart Hogg for me in second place. Thanks. So you admit you didn't on nominate him and said he wasn't good enough to be considered. No.

  @booboo said in 16. Coach 2016 - POLL: @Pot-Hale on review of the thread I can't see where I was quoting anybody. I expect it was a comment directly from the judging panel. Which pretty much stems from the fact that Joe Schmidt is a flufflybunny and always will be as far as I am concerned. Fuck him. Never liked him from scouts and school days. Also tell me what was wrong with the comment "one good win"? Who else did he beat of any quality? ... Well they beat Scotland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well. But if you want to be a begrudging moanfart, why not just say so? Tsk tsk.

  @Pot-Hale said in 3. Tighthead Prop of the Year 2016: (One-off exhibition matches against second-string NZ sides don't really count - apparently.) Yep, they need to do away with these 'friendlies' they demean the real matches...

  @Pot-Hale said in 12. Second Five-eighth of the Year 2016: @Catogrande said in 12. Second Five-eighth of the Year 2016: @Pot-Hale Two different players PH. Farrell is more of a SH type 2nd five-eighth, where Henshaw is more of a traditional NH centre type (which for you SH guys is the blokes with 12 & 13 on their backs). But yeah, I'd take Farrell due to both his unbeaten year, 6N Grand Slam and 3-0 whitewash down under, plus his overall importance to the team. While Henshaw is very good and has had a good year, it is hard to argue with the bald facts re Farrell. I have Henshaw down as an inside-centre in my book. None of that five-eighth shit. Since both wore 12, then Farrell had the better year of the two. So my vote is going with him. There is no such position as 'inside centre". He who wears 12 is "Second Five-Eighth". However your nomination is accepted.

  @Nepia said in 6. Blindside Flanker of the Year 2016: @Catogrande said in 6. Blindside Flanker of the Year 2016: Of the three nominations, Kaino has had a quiet year (by his standards). Robshaw has been integral to England's renaissance, he has a phenomenal engine with a high work rate over the full 80+ minutes. But does he make a stand out difference in a match like Stander has done for Ireland? I'd say no and Stander takes it for me. I quite liked the work Fardy was doing for Aus but he seems to have fallen by the wayside. Not really, he had a quiet end of the year (stupid lock experiment contributing to this) but he went near beast mode through much of the SH test season.

  Ok, this feels weird, but I think that Crotty deserves a nomination for at least one midfield position (and clearly Canerbry, Sammy C and Stargazer haven't found their way to this part of the Fern). I feel dirty. So dirty.

  Hartley for managing to stay on the pitch for England until Eddie yanked him off. This shows a true understanding of what it take to be a modern international rugby player.

  Mako is worth a nomination for his ball carrying and work around the field but the nomination here is for Prop and a prop's first duty is scrummaging. Mako has improved in this respect but I don't think he strikes fear into too many THs.

  Eh Murray. And then Murray. Just for his one match alone against decent opposition. Scored. Floored. Kicked. Masterminded. No other 9 comes near. All year.
