We're live for TSF Super Rugby Aotearoa Tipping 2021!
Go to https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and submit your picks for Week 1 - that is all you need to do to enter. Just 2 games per weekend but 10 pieces of information required for those 2 games.
I've updated the Leaderboard and Stats to show what happened last season if you have forgotten.
-
@kiwipie thanks in anticipation.
-
I think @Kruse may want to review his tips for week 1.
-
Thanks KP, although I say bugger it not doing any picks this year, I thought why not, as I enjoy this forum and starting to come in a bit more, so.....................
And will probably help to remind me how little I do actually know about game regardless of following it religously for 60odd years
-
@dan54 I had a shocker last season in this comp - kept expecting the Chiefs to come good!
-
@kiwipie I did same, kept saying they were too good to keep losing. Some of us are slow learners huh. I a Cane's man myself, who now living in Chiefs country(just) so....................

Hmmm... maybe. I'm tempted to leave as-is.

yeah, have to say trying to do the math to make sure the number of tries made the score and spread possible...was tedious

It doesn't have to be possible - each selection is scored separately so you can be cautious and pick team A to win 9-16 and team B to score more points that team A.
-
@kiwipie Personally I like the extra options as there only 2 games each week, so adds to fun.

It’s a whole new element really. To get a big score you have to align your predictions but that involves a risk of a very low score.
You can also try and hedge your bets a bit but that will result in a maximum of a mediocre score -
Any way of checking our picks have gone thru?
Edit: duh found the spready

It seems a 2 horse race this year with a big improver in the Highlanders in third place with the Canes and Chiefs fighting it out for the bottom spot.
I backed both teams I want to lose. Crusaders as them always winning is boring. And Blues because they play the Canes. Although maybe with the Blues they might be able to win this year so not too upset if they win well looking like title contenders. But not too well.
-
Missing from last year at this stage appear to be @barbarian @Bones @Canes4life @Caprice @fiamacho @gt12 @gunner @hydro11 @voodoo
Looks to be a few newcomers this year which is good but they could well be returning tippers tipping under a different name this season. Good Luck to everyone!Still time to get you tips in before the first games kicks off at 7.05pm NZ Summer Time
-
@higgins yeah I'm not gonna bother this year sorry. Too useless!

That's true, but I also can't hope to win if I do! 🤣

-
@taniwharugby words of wisdom right there
-
@bones Yeah, watching your performances in these competitions has been underwhelming, but don’t be so hard on yourself.
-
@broughie finally someone wants to talk about how hard i am
-
Results are in for Week 1. Now all you have to do is remember to tip for the next 9 weeks.
The reigning champion Winger is already out in the lead with a superb 73 points, almost perfect selections except for being a bit low on the points for the Highlanders and Crusaders. Triple T is just 2 behind with Antipodean, Arhs and Crucial rounding out the top 5.
Only Winger, Triple T, Unite and Donsteppa picked both games 9-16 to the away team but the latter 2 fell down on their category picks. Richie is 45th and last, the only one to pick the Highlanders and the Hurricanes to win.

If anybody's interested in doing the SuperBru one again, I've created a pool called "TheSilverFern".
If people are not bothered, but only because they didn't pick Round One - I can configure it to only count from Round 2 onwards. -

-
@kiwipie I thought I picked Blues and Crusaders?
-
@dogmeat Spreadsheet says you picked the Highlanders 9-16.
-
@kiwipie Really? I thought I'd double checked.
I normally wait until a few weeks into the season before I get my picks arse about.
-
Would have got in but didnt see last week and no good enough to start a week behind
-
Only around 20 have tipped so far this week - is it hard for people to remember to do something 2 weeks in a row? Or maybe you want to give yourself the maximum thinking time.

You start 5 behind the worst tipper last week - so would you have 13 points. And plenty of people will forget to tip as the weeks go by and you will fly past them

Probably because the teams haven't been named for the second match
-
@duluth They have now and after looking at that Hurricanes lineup it is a pity a 17++ is not one of the options.
-

Hahaha I was hoping you'd do something like this

The results are ready and available at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Rico top scored with 62 points, a great score on a week when most people went for the Highlanders. Winger still leads through getting 39 points for the Crusaders game alone, 11 clear of ACT Crusader with Victor 3rd and Rico and Stockcar86 level in 4th.
Paj scored only 6 points, showing a touching faith in the Hurricanes.
The tipping form is ready for next weekend.
