It is all up to date here https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ plus you can already tip the final week of tipping for the year.
Not much variation in the scores as a few picked 8/8 and the majority had 7/8. A week when you needed to get your margins correct for the top score and Corkscrew picked 6 of the 8 margins to rake in 65 with DK, Fiamacho & Triple T also 60+.
Fiamacho gained some ground on the leaders but is still in 4th, 8 behind leader Langakali who leads by 4 from Stargazer with Higgins in 3rd. Looks like it is between those 4 unless Tim can score huge - he is 5th 16 behind the leader.
It was as close as it could be between Northland and Hawke's Bay in the 1st semi-final. 53-53 and both teams scored 266 points in total. There had to be a winner so I gave it to Northland due to more correct margins (16-15) or because they finished higher on the ladder (take your pick!).
The other one was also a close battle, Wellington beating Wairarapa Bush 57-56. So Northland will play Wellington in the final, Wellington going for their first title since 2014, Northland their first since 2008.
Finally in the TSF Cup, Crucial rose to the big occasion by posting one of the worst scores of the weekend and Tim takes a 16 point lead into the second leg.

I have taken lots of notes this weekend on how to engineer a comeback win. Currently waiting on a phone call from Cheika before putting in this weeks tips.

In case anyone is interested in my plan to emulate the Wobblies and mount an epic second half comeback (ie decide to start playing) in the Cup match.
So far I am still 16 points adrift of Tim as we both had the same selections for the first three picks. I get a chance to start clawing back (or dig a deeper hole) tomorrow as we have gone opposite ways on the Northland/BOP game.
We have also gone opposites for the Battle of the bridge and have margin differences for the Shield game and the Poo v Stags game. -
As Crucial has summarised the TSF Cup Final - here is progress on the rest.
Langakali retains a slim 4 point lead but Higgins has joined Stargazer in 2nd place. Fiamacho would be level at the top if he had tipped on time - as he gained maximums from the next 2 games.
Wellington with the early advantage due to Fiamacho turning up late but all to play for still. Interestingly all the Northland team has picked BOP to win while a couple of Wellingtonians have gone for Northland.

KP, if the double points wildcard option is still available Hawkes Bay elect to invoke our 2018 entitlement this round thanks!
Things look pretty tight at the top with us chasers waiting for Langakali to get the speedwobbles and falter at the last moment. Guess it will all come down to margins and the BoP v Northland game which looked to be the only 50/50 game when entries closed (or was until we all saw the team Northland named). -

@higgins a post by KP on FB says all the NOrthland lads tipped BOP and 2 Welly tippers went for Northland...

That's not showing much faith in you outfit there TR or did you have some inkling on who would be named in the Northland team? Still there is a championship title at stake so sometimes principles have to be set aside. Congratulations on beating us 53 all last week by the way (does that make us even for 1969 now?), hope you can do the same to Wellington by the way.

@higgins I knew we were carrying a big sick ward, we finished our game v Waikato with 2 hookers, 3 props and 3 loosies in our pack!
Decent side picked, but very inexperienced particularly numbers 4-8.

Well no decisive move in the race for the title but the chasers lower down have all closed the gap meaning that there are 6 chasers within 10 of the lead. There isn't much difference in the picks for the final 2 games but Fiamacho could still snatch the title if Manawatu thrashes Southland.
Higgins and Stargazer are bound together and can't really pass Langakali. Tim might still compete with a narrow Auckland win and a big Manawatu win - I think.
The final looks like going to the wire with just a 2 point gap.
