Silver Fern is only tipping I ever go in. Have to miss this one as I maybe away for a part, and just find it too hard to do tips when I not home.

@Canes4life the old one they used to do (c 2000 - 2010, player values fluctuated, you had like 3 trades a round I think (which wasnt ideal, especially with so many byes in current format, so what they could do is allow unlimited trades on players in bye week or listed as injured, subject to your salary obviously)

@KiwiPie said in TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2025:

The new champions with their first title since 2019 were the SunJags - well done to @kruse @Joan-and-Mary Richie, @gt12 Boof and occasionally @NTA who didn't turn up for the final.

Needed to give everyone else a chance 🤷♂

Everyone had Aus getting out of the pool

Yup, tho I'm smug that I am the only one that got all the other 3 right 😉

with all due respect, this post is exactly like celebrating getting 3 legs of a quaddie, when those 3 legs were all won by $1.85 favourites.

True. But no one else did, I shall carry on with my smugness

@Higgins thanks, nice little write up

@KiwiPie ha, didn't come last and I didn't tip the last couple of weeks and missed at least a couple of rounds...

Thanks @KiwiPie. Excellent standard as always. And well done to the winners

Me for comeback of the year. It was a long drawn out plan, but the only way I could see getting a gong. If this doesn't work I'm poked 😆

I've never done one but it looks fun. Details?

Well played Hydro.

@kiwipie thanks as always KP!!

Covid threw out some challenges, dampened enthusiasm, but yours is the only comp I do all the time!

Wrong thread!

@Higgins said in Tipping 2020:

@kiwipie KP, have you devised anything for this Super Season? It will be a bit difficult given there only appear to be four games each week (and only two in the first week which kicks off in just seven days time) so not sure if you can come up with a format to make it challenging given so few games are to be played each week.

As @taniwharugby says, I ran a comp for the 10 rounds of SR Aotearoa last year where I massaged your picks into a maximum of 80 points - 20 points with the usual scoring for the result of each game. 5 points for 8 categories - pick the points for all 4 teams and the number of tries for all 4 teams. I'm happy to do that again and ignore Aus and SA. And no team tipping comp unless we get enough interest to have 8 teams.

Last season the final top 10 was

Winger 426
Joan and Mary 416
Virgil 415
Kruse 414
Langakali 408
Higgins 403
Dogmeat 402
Paj 397
TR 395
Sportboy 393

I'll start a new thread for 2021 in the coming week.

@KiwiPie thanks again KP, super comp.

Thanks for the comp @KiwiPie, awesome as usual!

Better wrap this one up now the domestic season is done. Really close for most of the season but our champion is Boongalaulau with Higgins 2nd and Mary 3rd.

@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.
