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

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.

You are indeed - you picked the score as Crusaders 27 Blues 16 - almost spot on. But picked the Blues 9-16
haha, that is gold!
@taniwharugby Good luck in the semi's - arsehole

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.

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 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...
@taniwharugby A game of two halves maybe as the wind was blowing very strongly in the first half, obviously behind sportboy!

@taniwharugby and what a victory it will be when you take down Sportboy - let's face it, if anyone can blow a 45 point lead, he can

Go to https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ to see how you got on this weekend. Best scoring of the competition so far with both results fairly predictable. Triple T with a massive 74, 5 out of 8 category picks correct. Kruse with 70 to keep the pressure on Winger, but he scored 69 to keep a 10 point lead going into the final weekend.
Joan and Mary on 69 to move up to 3rd but there are only 12 points between 3rd and 10th. Hooroo managed just 7 points, continuing to believe in the Chiefs and suffering accordingly.
TR beat Sportboy in the 2nd leg of the cup final but still lost by 38 points.
-
Sorry for the delay but I closed off the competition by adding any points scored for the Highlanders v Hurricanes game - to be honest there weren't many and there were a fair few zeroes for people who actually tipped.
Virgil, Joan and Mary and Richie were the only 3 to pick a Highlanders win and Virgil top scored with 25, moving him into 3rd overall with Joan and Mary moving up to 2nd. Winger took the title despite scoring just 2 points.

At the moment, I still plan to run NPC Tipping ... we'll see what happens.
