I love the Reds and I love the second row. That probably tells you all you need to know about me. I can often be found engaged in pointless arguments in the GaGR forums as 'Scoey".
We’re approaching the mid point of the season. Plenty of time to sort your tipping out and make a charge for the top of the table. Read on to get the good oil. Find out the details that separate a top tipper from a mug punter. Round 8. I feel like a broken record some times, but the tipping is just a nightmare this season. Some of you are killing it though and doing so consistently. I’d like to say there’s a bit of luck in it but when you’re performing week in week out, then there’s got to be more to…
The tipping this season has been as tough as I’ve seen it since, well, ever. The competition is so tight that really just about every game is a two horse race so to speak. The historically good teams are struggling to eke out regular wins, the traditional also-rans are beating the big names more often than one might expect and the upsets are becoming less surprising. Last Week Not a lot of movement on the tipping ladder this week with the Rhumdoggs consolidating their spot at number one in the GaGR league and is one point adrift on the overall standings.…
This year’s Super Rugby competition is proving yet again that it is one of the most tightly contested competitions on the planet. Fantastic for the fans, stroke inducing for the tippers. If you tipped a perfect round last weekend then I think some serious questions need to be asked. For the rest of us though, time to move on and check out what Round 7 has in store. Upsetville. Population: Plenty. The first game of Round 6 was a bit of a ‘flip a coin’ fixture but if you managed to tip it correctly then chances are come Saturday night…
It’s the last round of the first ‘period’ in the ARU Tipping Comp. That means the overall leader after this round wins a ‘yet to be disclosed’ prize! Better than that though, those of you who had one or two poor rounds so far are back in with a chance to win something in the next period in the tipping comp within the tipping comp! Bring it on! Round 5 The round just gone was a tough one, with most of our top tippers dropping a couple of matches. This saw a bit of movement in the standings but tipper Denis…
I like the underdog and I often find myself cheering for the Rebels and the Force (unless they’re playing the Reds). In the battle of the two perennial underdogs on the weekend, I really wanted to cheer for the Force but having tipped the red hot Rebels I was conflicted. As the opening minutes ticked by though, my potentially perfect round slipped from my grasp. I was sunk. So for everyone else that tipped the Rebels, we must look forward. Round 5 awaits….. Round 4. Last weekend wasn’t easy on my ticker and I’m tipping I wasn’t alone. The Reds tried their…
Round 3 was a super rugby tipping week from hell for some of us but armed with a growing knowledge of who’s hot and who’s not, thankfully Round 4 looks like it may offer some respite. The secret to doing well in a tipping comp is to not relax on these ‘easy’ weeks but dig deep, pick the inevitable upset and increase your lead on the pack. Beware though, any slip up here could see you tumbling down the rankings. The Week That Was. Last week’s leader ‘RNGD Barking Ghecko’ had a week they’d probably rather forget only correctly tipping…
This year’s Super Rugby Tipping competition will be closer than ever and Round 2 was proof of that. Of the 233 participants in the Green and Gold Rugby Tipping Competition, not one was able to crack that perfect round. Round 3 won’t be much easier, but read on and you might stand half a chance. Last Week. The GaGR Super Rugby Tipping League is hotly contested with 5 people topping the weekly scoring with 7 points. Please Entertain Us, Tboy, Drew and Greggsy all did well but the tipper of the week goes to ‘RNGD Barking Ghecko’ who is currently…
After signing up to the G&GR Pool on the ARU Tipping comp, I found myself quietly confident prior to the weekend – the signed jerseys and Bledisloe Cup Corporate Box tickets were as good as mine. But then the Super Rugby season kicked off and almost in unison, TV’s across Bloemfontein and my optimism were together destroyed. Last week It wasn’t all bad news though, with the season now well underway, only 2 points separates first place from last! Which means that really, anyone could win! Special mention needs to go to tipper MTurts who successfully tipped both games but didn’t…
