Tipping

[Eric]

Damn it! I had such a bright start. I was going to gloat about beating Jo Dragon but I thought, "let's just wait until Friday's games". And then that happened.........

Jo Dragon is the least of your troubles. I'm set to finally win this week.

 

[GCRV]

Parramatta has been the hardest team to tip all season. And I should have known better regarding the Grubs!

 

[Morgan]

I'm not sure how to do this. Myself, jodragon40 and Chris M all finished equal. So what I'll do is look at the games we got wrong. All 3 got Gold Coast v Manly wrong.

• Jo Dragon got Melbourne v Penrith wrong. Melbourne won by 16. Jo Dragon chose Penrith by 13 so lets say he's wrong by 29.
• Chris M picked Cowboys by 8 but they lost by 14 so lets call is 22.
• I also chose NQ but by 14 so that's 28

So I guess that means:

1. Chris M
2. Me
3. Jo Dragon

Unless anyone has a better idea of how to judge.

No that's fair enough as long as you also include game 2 errors

To be honest, I think I've done well. When JoDragon went on his run, I was second almost everytime and now at the business end of the season, I've won.

Yep 2nd or 3rd in 20 odd rounds and actually won 2 whereas poor old me 1st in 20 rounds and 2nd in the other 2. So yes sounds about right.

I think I'm last.

Ok everyone, last week we had a three way tie between myself, Chris M and ........ someone else. This week, please only choose the winning margin in the Dragons - Gold Coast game so it's easy to calculate a winner in the event of another tie. Or choose the margin if you like but only the Dragons - Gold Coast game will count if there is a tie again.

1. South Sydney v Penrith : Souths
2. North QLD v New Zealand : Cowboys
3. Brisbane v Melbourne : Melbourne
4. Parramatta v Canterbury : Parramatta
5. Manly v Cronulla : Cronulla
6. Sydney v Wests : Sydney
7. St George Illawarra v Gold Coast: Gold Coast by 10
8. Newcastle v Canberra : Canberra

What if there is a draw but in different games? For example, I correctly select the winner in the Dragons - GC game but he who cannot be named chooses another game right which I get wrong?

In that case, you win for correctly choosing the Dragons - GC game.

 

[RedV01]

In that case, you win for correctly choosing the Dragons - GC game.

Ok. From now, at least in relation to tipping, we should refer to someone as "he who cannot be named."

1. Panthers
2. Cowboys
3. Storm
4. Eels
5. Shonkies
6. Rorters
7. Dragons by 1
8. Canberra

 

[Chris M]

This week seems really easy. Only games 1 and 7 are difficult. Jo Dragon is picking Newcastle over Canberra. That's a strange one. Newcastle are an already losing team now in turmoil.

1. South Sydney v Penrith : Souths
2. North QLD v New Zealand : Cowboys
3. Brisbane v Melbourne : Melbourne
4. Parramatta v Canterbury : Parramatta
5. Manly v Cronulla : Cronulla
6. Sydney v Wests : Sydney
7. St George Illawarra v Gold Coast: Gold Coast by 14
8. Newcastle v Canberra : Canberra
