So I reckon that's twice I have failed to realise who the home team are and as a result have tipped the opposite to what I intended

I am so fucking thick

are you looking for an argument on that point?

No one is keen to take it up by the looks of things.

@Crucial Hey if @Virgil can get all menopausal about some little bitty building blocks...

You are indeed - you picked the score as Crusaders 27 Blues 16 - almost spot on. But picked the Blues 9-16. Turned a weekend's best of 62 into a moderate 42. Nice work.

Wow how on earth did I manage to get the margins...I’m more surprised at myself more then anything

[dogmeat]

@KiwiPie The other fuck up was I think Highlanders to beat Crusaders 17+

I tend to get menopausal about lots of things.

Still working on the update for this weekend - lots of poor scores unsurprisingly. Who is claiming an entry under the name Nathan Hill? The only person not tipping who tipped last week is @Cactus-Jack so is it you?

[Donsteppa]

Rugby results? Bring on the cricket season...

I gave Cactus Jack the points for Nathan Hill on the basis that he usually tips early in the week and was the only regular missing. He and Corkscrew were the only ones to pick 2/2, Corkscrew with 54 the highest of the weekend. Many were caught out by the results and the high scoring games after they were low scoring last weekend.

TR scored well to retain the lead by 14 over Winger with Sportboy up to 3rd.

@taniwharugby Good luck in the semi's - arsehole

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat bro, I been telling you all year, it aint a sprint, I was in this for the long haul!

[Higgins]

@dogmeat I almost feel sorry for you, but I don't, helped by my winning margin being greater than TR's two pointer over you. Let's just say comfortably winning a low scorer 13 - 10 is better than losing 36 - 34!!!!!!!!!!

[taniwharugby]

looking like only 3 picked the canes to get up last night!

[KiwiPie]

Results are up to date at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Paj topped all scorers this week with 57, both results and margins picked. He went for Crusaders 33-34 Hurricanes which was very accurate - not so accurate for going for 6 tries apiece! He's up to 13th but still 52 behind TR who through consistent accumulation finds himself with a lead of 22 over Winger. DK also into the top 10 with the 2nd highest score of 51.

TR into the final of the TSF Cup with Sportboy. Played out over the next 2 weekends.

[Higgins]

Goodness in the space of a couple of weeks I have gone from being just seven or so points behind TR in second place to sixth place and forty four points from him. Still having a policy of not picking the Hurricanes whenever they have JGB in their starting lineup as there is absolutely no way the can possibly win has not been all that successful!

[KiwiPie]

All live at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ - all change as there were no tips from @taniwharugby

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiPie aye, I did them on Friday

I tipped the Highlanders anyway (in the 2 comps that recorded my scores)...

bigger lead than I was planning on giving sportboy in the cup...

[dogmeat]

If only I hadn't (twice) got my home and away confused......
