Overall Dolamite still leads despite being recruited into the cellar dwellers South Island. They managed a full team of 6 players this week but still lost - not helped by ACT Crusader turning up late. Dolamite now leads by 16 from Gunner while the masses are gathering behind him, Corkscrew in 3rd has 14 players within 20 points.
Best of the week were Triple T and Virgil with 47, both helped by Category Picks. Chiefs v Blues was a popular pick for closest game, Sharks v Jaguares for most one-sided although not with that result I suspect. A few picked either Reds, Sharks or Highlanders for lowest scorers - nobody at all picked Jaguares for highest score. Virgil was one of only 2 to pick 5/6 and one of the view to get the Jaguares as winners, the other with 5/6 was Corkscrew who picked the Stormers.
Blues B won again to stay top, squeaking past the SunJags by a point thanks to DK and Broughie. SunJags were a player short (Bruce Kenyon) so had to count Barbarian's 21 which dragged down GT12's score of 42.
Into 2nd are the BOP Chiefs with a solid 38-31 win over Canes Black. All 6 scores over 30 and Donsteppa the best with 44. Canes Black had @Bones missing and Hydro11 and Cactus Jack with respectable 39s - and nothing else.
A big win for Blues A over the Barbarians moving them into 3rd and knocking the Barbars out of the top 4. Good scores in support of Virgil for Blues A with Triple T not getting the same support from his team mates.
Finally Canes Gold won only their 2nd game of the season, all 6 players 35 or over - best was Winger with 42. South Island just pipped yet again.
In the Cup, debutante Caprice is the champion beating Hooroo in a low scoring affair by just 2 points.

All updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ including next week's tipping form.
Disastrous week for many and if you got to 30 points you did well. Nobody picked more than 3/6 results. Gunner the best with 34, ahead of Laurence, Hurrycanes, Unite and Waynes World on 33. Gunner closes to within 6 of Dolamite at the top with Hydro11 up to 3rd.
At the other end of the scale, Mikedogz, Chimoaus, Canerbry & Caprice picked 0/6 with Mikedogz and Caprice sharing the week's low of 8 because the other 2 picked up a category pick or 2.
Blues B retain top spot, scraping past South Island thanks to Gunner despite having to count FarNthHayden's score of 11. South Island had to include Phooey's 16 and nobody managed 30. Up to 2nd are the SunJags beating Blues A easily thanks to scores of 30+ from Barbarian and Richie and solid from the rest. Blues A threw out Fiamacho's 9 so had to count Tim's 14 and J77's 16.
Barbarians are back into the top 4 after disposing of the poor BOP Chiefs - Waynes World with 33 was the best with all counting scores 20+ and the BOP Chiefs had to include Donsteppa's 15 and Hooroo's 17 due to an 8 from Mikedogz - Unite's 33 went to waste. Finally Canes Black won the derby, scores over 30 for Hurrycanes, Paj and Hydro11 while Gold had 33 from Laurence but had to count Crucial's 16 and Nevorian's 18 due to 11 from Antipodean.
All 8 teams had 6 players this week with only Sportboy arriving late for the first game.
Next week's scores count towards the Cup - top 32 go into the 1st round of the Sequel Cup.

Quick report. It's a thrilling climax to the regular season ahead - with 3 rounds left, 5 teams are separated by just 2 points with BOP Chiefs on top on points scored and Blues A out of the top four on points differential. Canes Black are 6th but only a win behind so all to play for except for Canes Gold and South Island who are playing for the spoon of wood. (Bonus points are given to teams when their scoring players have 3 correct margins more than their opposition.
Missing tippers were @Paj @ACT-Crusader & Bruce Kenyon - but all teams did manage to field 5 players.
15 points of category picks for @mikedogz & @barbarian
@hydro11 takes over at the top as @Dolamite crashes with just 24. 52 for Hydro with 4 maximums and the best score for the weekend. Gunner stays 2nd and just 4 points behind the leader. All moving into the top 10 with 47 points are Dogmeat, Mikedogz and JK.
Back to 7 games this weekend so a couple of the annoying category picks can be shelved.

My tipping hasn't assisted Canes Gold by any stretch of the imagination.

The 2 draws count as no points for anyone (just in case you had forgotten that rule) but scoring was high in the other games.
Of the 5 teams battling it out for the top 4 spots, no team lost - the Blues teams played out a draw. The Barbarians took over at the top from the BOP Chiefs due to picking up a bonus point and having a better points difference (with identical points scored). They beat Canes Black easily, Higgins and Triple T with 47 with only a 42 for Stockcar86 in response and @Bones didn't tip. The BOP Chiefs scraped past South Island with all 5 of their scoring tippers between 41 and 44. The South had the top scorer of the round, Dolamite with 52 and 47 from Corkscrew but the rest were poor - Smudge turned up a day late but still scored more than the other 3.
The SunJags beat the woeful Canes Gold despite playing with only 4 - Bruce Kenyon and @chimoaus were absent - and were rescued by Richie and Joan and Mary with 47 each. Canes Gold had no score over 40. Finally Blues B had FarNthHayden and Gunner over 40, Blues A had Justin77 with 47 plus Virgil & JK on 44 but they played out a draw. Blues A not helped by the absence of @Tim
Dolamite takes over at the top with the top score of 52, 2 ahead of Hydro11 who is 2 ahead of Gunner. Corkscrew is trying to bridge the gap to the 3 leaders and DK is still holding on in 5th.
2 draws in the Cup, the winners of those ties is decided by the first to get ahead in next week's games.
