Tipping 2021

You still have over 24 hours to get your tips in but if you're the sort of person who disappears into a drunken haze when the weekend starts then get your tips in now
-
Finally got round to getting my tips in, looks like about another six or eight tippers still to get theirs in, including Winger. If he fails to meet the referee's whistle that will give a chance to us all! Looks like there could be a fair bit of carnage on the score sheets this round with both games looking like they could go either way so getting on the wrong side of the results could see single figure scores being recorded. Fingers crossed that you are on the right side of the results and good luck to us all in this challenging round.

Now done. Tough week to pick the winners.

Picking both winners was tricky and only 6 tippers managed it. Stockcar86 picked both margins as well but blew out on the other 8 selections meaning that Corkscrew was top scorer with 58, there was 52 for Danny ahead of Stockcar86 with 50.
Kruse was next with 48 moving him up to 2nd overall just 2 behind Winger. Stockcar86 is up to 3rd with Hurrycanes in 4th. Waynes World missed the first game and was low scorer with 7. Dogmeat the lowest with 2 tips, with just 11.
Check out the scores from round 1 of the TSF Cup. And remember we are back to a Friday night and Saturday night game next weekend.

The top 32 from last weekend qualified for Round 1 - this was head to head this past weekend with the results you can see on https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ - lose and you're out of the cup.
You were tied 32nd in qualifying and Stag scored highest this weekend to make it into the cup.

OK that makes sense, but I thought I was 30th last round?

Get your tips in people. Almost kick-off time.

@kiwipie damn, work made me forget...so I picked 10-0
-
@taniwharugby Surely Tipping comes ahead of work!

A very low scoring weekend as nobody picked both results and most people didn't get either. Top score was DK with 40 by picking the Canes and being accurate with try totals. Yeetyah had 39, Victor 37 and only Mikedogz and Danny scored 30 or more.
Winger still keeps the lead as none of the top 3 picked a result but Victor is up to 4th and Danny and DK lurk around the top 10.
In the Cup, J77, Victor, Stockcar86, Mikey07, Donsteppa, Nevorian, Antipodean and Danny made it through to the quarter-finals.

https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/Hey, don’t take away my only chance of glory! I think you’ll find that 22 is a higher pathetic number than 20

@crucial Ooops. Too early in the morning! To clarify the quarter-finals are
Great match-up between Donsteppa and I - and high quality 14-12 win to him!

I was wondering how I'd made the quarters after tipping 0 from 2

I picked 0 from 2 even more inaccurately than you did!

@nevorian We're having a recount ....

This is your final reminder to tip before the first game tonight.

A day late sorry but everything is up to date now at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Not sure we've ever had a game where nearly everyone has gone Home 17+ and it ended Away 17+. Not many points from the Highlanders win unless you picked them to score 3 tries while being thrashed. Solid scoring for the Blues win unless of course you picked the Canes in which case you're probably one of those who scored in single figures.
Best of the weekend was Dogmeat with 41 who was almost spot on with the Blues game (and did get the Highlanders with 3 tries). 30 was a decent score for the weekend. A bit of shuffling of places at the top but Winger still leads by 12 from Kruse with Victor moving up to 3rd.
Worst of the weekend was Delicatessen with just 6, Yeetyaah and ACT Crusader scored 7 and 8.
The TSF Semi-Finals are played over 2 legs with the final being over the last 2 weekends of the regular season.

Time to tip if you haven't already.

I had an almost perfect week to score 71 and shoot to the top of the table, leading Victor by 8 who is a point ahead of previous leader Winger. DK scored 65 to rise to 4th just another point back from Winger, Plastered Peni 62 to move up to 5th. Mikedogz the other 60+ score, 63 but still back in 20th place.
In the Cup, semi-final first leg victories for J77, 36-28 against Mikey07 and for Crucial leading Victor 53-43.

Given the progress of the Grumpy Old Man thread, you're probably lucky not to return to a "Get Off My Lawn" reply to your triumph

As someone who slipped from around 2nd to around 8th, would a politely voiced "fuck. you." suffice?

@kruse At least you only dropped one place to third in the Superbru.com contest, still led by yours truly I modestly point out, even after a bit of a toe stubbing this weekend.

It was an excellent score.
I guess you're a big fan of this golden point now?

Something about cream rising to the top?

For some reason I picked the Highlanders in Superbru - to be honest I thought I had gone Highlanders in TSF Tipping as well so it was a pleasant surprise when I hadn't!
-
@winger It is an excellent way to settle a draw!

Not now you have admitted to it being an accident.
It was an impressive score though.
