    @rico1 I'm thinking you can still finish above @ACT-Crusader - it's a long old season.

    That’s brutal.

    Brutally honest.

      I've outsourced my tipping to Grok3. Yes, I'm using a reasoning model sledgehammer to crack a nut.

          Well, it probably would help if I waited until the teams are named....

          Will use the new DeepSearch agent next week so it can search all the information it needs. Has a million token context, so I'll keep it running and see if it improves.

            Interested in the results. My new work is Ozzie based company so I'm in an AFL comp - and I've got no idea! All I know is singlets and really tight shorts

                  That was a pretty tough round with nobody at all picking the Force and only 7 going for the Highlanders. @KiwiMurph the best score with 43, picking 4/5 along with @SouthernMann @Joan-and-Mary Richie & @rico1 - Richie with the next best score of 38.

                  KiwiMurph now leads overall by 6 from Triple T with @ACT-Crusader dropping down to 3rd. @delicatessen & @Nevorian turned up late and @NTA never turned up at all.

                  2 wins from 2 for South Island, BOP Chiefs and Blues A, a first win for the SunJags and questions being asked about the 2 Canes teams and Blues B - all 3 teams with 2 defeats from 2.

                  The Cup will start in Week 4 - the top 32 scorers from next week will go into the first round so get your tips in on time. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/

                      @KiwiPie sheesh I thought I was doomed for mid teens score. Still holding down top 3 after two rounds would be a personal record!

                            The results for the weekend are in https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/

                            A dramatic return to form for @Kirwan who was equal top scorer with Langakali on 67. Reigning champ @hydro11 scored 66 with 64 for @Tim &@Machpants - 15 players picked all 5 games so it was the margins and categories that were required for the highest scores. @Waynes-World @ACT-Crusader & @Nevorian each scored 15 points for categories with 3/4 picked correctly.

                            Triple T now leads by 5 from ACT Crusader, me and @Unite with Hydro11 ominously up to 5th ahead of previous leader @KiwiMurph.

                            3 wins out of 3 for South Island and Blues A and narrow wins in high scoring games for Barbarians and Canes Gold.

                            The draw for the TSF Cup is also shown on the tipping page - the top 32 scorers for the weekend with @Winger & @BorderJB in a replay decided by the first one to go ahead next weekend.

                                    Thankfully most others were caught out by the round of upsets.

                                      Update time: Given that for the first 3 games the winners were picked by 9%, 11% and 7%, high scoring was never on the cards. @Corkscrew had 4/5 winners selected by going the home team 1-8 but had no categories so only 35 points. @ACT-Crusader had the best score of 40 followed by @Hurrycanes (38) & @Canes4life (37) who only picked 2 matches but had 3/4 categories. All of ACT Crusader, @KiwiMurph @Chris @mikedogz @dogmeat @george33 picked 3/5. The very worst score was @NTA with 6 and @mikey07 managed 8.

                                      ACT Crusader now leads by 12 from @hydro11 with KiwiMurph in 3rd. In the TSF Cup, @BorderJB sneaked his replay with @Winger but was knocked out in the next round. 16 people are into the next round.

                                      In the battle of the unbeaten teams, South Island made it 4/4 against Blues A and in the battle of the unwinning teams, Canes Black thrashed Blues B.

                                      The notable missing tipster is @dK who has been playing since we started back in 2006 - does anyone have a direct contact route?

                                        I would like to blame literally every NZ team. Even the Highlanders.
