Tipping 2021

[Higgins]

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

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

[voodoo]

@taniwharugby words of wisdom right there

[broughie]

@bones Yeah, watching your performances in these competitions has been underwhelming, but don’t be so hard on yourself.

[Bones]

@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.

I am already entered so I did pick Round 1 - but happy if you start for Round 2. Will join, thanks!

[dogmeat]

@kiwipie I thought I picked Blues and Crusaders?

[KiwiPie]

@dogmeat Spreadsheet says you picked the Highlanders 9-16.

[dogmeat]

@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

[KiwiPie]

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

[Higgins]

@duluth They have now and after looking at that Hurricanes lineup it is a pity a 17++ is not one of the options.
