Tipping 2021
-
In play update as it is the final weekend. No great movement at the top as most people underestimated the margins of victory. Laurence now leads by a point over Victor. Time and Hooroo dropped back as Tim picked the Reds to win and Hooroo went for the Brumbies. Lawrence is doubling the Crusaders game and needs a 17+ and Victor is doing he same (as is Plastered and Tim) so there won't be a change from that game. It might be a mistake but Laurence has the Blues losing tonight and that result will either lose (or seal) the title.
Laurence v Hooroo in the Cup final is a 7 point lead to Laurence so far.

Everything is added up and
Victor is the Champion.
Laurence is the Cup Winner.https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
All the leaders made similar choices so it actually came down to not making mistakes in actually submitting your tips. Tim mistakenly went against the Hurricanes and I'm pretty sure that Laurence didn't mean to pick the Force to win. That left the way clear for Victor to take the title by 5 points having been in the lead after every round.
Laurence took the cup from Hooroo 47-44 despite picking the Force mainly because Hooroo picked the Brumbies (presumably intentionally) in a bold move that could have given him a league and cup double if it had come off.
Top scorer for the final week was Crucial who lifted from 21 to 11 with a score of 59.
Canes4life picked the results of 24/25 games correctly which is unprecedented accuracy while many had 23 (picking NZ teams to always win). Tim and Plastered Peni picked 11 of 25 correct with margin while Victor picked most categories (9/20) which was the key to overall victory.
Thanks for playing for this short burst and we'll be back with NPC Tipping in August with 7 games a weekend, teams forming again and all that good stuff.

Still plenty of space in some of the teams to fill up to their full muster of six. Sme of these maybe/should be interested in joining up in the worlds best tipping competition where there are both individual and teams component.
Regulars/last years tippers still to decide on their tips include
Northland @FarNthHayden @Gunner @justin77
Harbour/Auckland @dice @tim @caprice @Virgil
Counties/Waikato @yeetyaah @Hooroo
Bay of Plenty @sportboy @bayimports @Cactus-Jack @KiwiPie @trooa
Hawkes Bay @Stargazer @propsicle @billsy
Wairarapa Bush @victor @buck
Wellington @Winger @laurence
South Island @Corkscrew @Smudge @Kiwiwomble @Phooeyhttps://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submitIf some teams are full you will be allocated to another to fill up rosters that might need another tipper, or even the possibility of having a another team like Wellington Development formed if enough want to tip for Wellington! If you were in that boat last season you obviously elect to tip for your preferred option naturally. There is also the individual component as well that also creates a lot of interest.
Others that might want to take the plunge include the likes of @Bovidae @Dan54 @kiwimurph @ACT-Crusader @Daffy-Jaffy @Duluth @booboo @canefan @antipodean @Machpants (Bush might be needing you as both myself and the captain - Waynes World have yet to locate Buck) @MN5 @Number-10 (we seem to struggle to get a 6th tipper for our HB team!) @kev @Pepe @foobaNZ @gt12 @shark @george33 and many others out there that are not listed.
With the lockdown over in Aus there might be a bit more interest from expats over there that will have more time to follow and watch the games (on Stan I believe) so they can have a slightly better idea on who teams are going and thus making picking winners a bit easier. If in doubt you can always use the blindfold and stick a pin in method! Anyway give it some though and get your tips in by 7.05pm NZ time tonight (or if you miss that you can still tip for the remaining games)

@higgins i support Otago! you mixing up your blue and gold teams
...i'm also shit at tipping
@kiwiwomble Like we all hope we can do at the start of every tipping season you might come good this time round, just like your Otago team promises to do. Plenty of room in the South Island Team for you.
