NRL man still really, even if I did jam the AFL tipping this year. :cool:

Geelong
Hawthorn
Adelaide
Sydney


Anyway, teams currently look like this:

Neutral: HDS, 99*, ripper

AFL: NZT, SirBloody Idiot, pasag, cameeel, SKD, Vimes, Matteh, mikeW, altoz

NRL: Mr Wright, chaminda, DCYE, pinchy, James90, morgieb, speirz, Simon, Burgey, Clapo, Brumby

If I've put anyone down wrongly or you want to be moved just say. :)

After the Hawks tore the Bulldogs a new one the early code table looks like this:

1) AFL - 88.89% (8/9)
2) NRL - 81.82% (9/11)
3) Neutrals - 33.33% (1/3)


The Aussie Rules boys unsurprisngly making the early running, with only Matteh letting the side down. Neutrals struggling tho, frankly.

The AFL asserts its authority after the Crows/Pies game:

1) AFL - 83.33% (15/18)
2) NRL - 50% (11/22)
3) Neutrals - 33.33% (2/6)


Interestingly (well it's probably not interesting at all, but it's Saturday morning & I'm bored and mildly hungover, so meh) only two AFL fans (SKD and cameeel) went for the Crows & only two NRL fans (Clapo & DCYE) went against them, so knowledge of the sport clearly playing a part early on.

As absolutely everyone has tipped Geelong to win on the morrow I might as well do a full update.

=1) HDS 3
NZT 3
Vimes 3
mikeW 3
altoz 3
=6) SirBloody Idiot 2
pasag 2
cameeel 2
Matteh 2
chaminda 2
DCYE 2
morgieb 2
Burgey 2
Clapo 2
Brumby 2
=16) 99* 1
ripper 1
SKD 1
Mr Wright 1
pinchy 1
James90 1
speirz 1
Simon 1


5 full-houses mean a share of the early lead for Heath, Geg, Vimesy, Mike & tozzer. Everyone on the board with at least a point.

1) AFL - 77.78% (21/27)
2) Neutrals - 55.56% (5/9)
3) NRL - 51.52% (17/33)


Meanwhile, a perfect round lifts the neutrals up into second. The Aussie Rules boys dominating so far tho.

I've rather pointlessly added the extra points to all for Geelong's win. Heath, Geg, Vimesy, Mike & tozzer all get a bonus point for being the week's joint leading tipsters, which will be used if players are level on points to split them. A wheeze shamelessly appropriated from cameeel.

Team

1) AFL - 83.33% (30/36)
2) Neutrals - 66.67% (8/12)
3) NRL - 63.63% (28/44)


The AFL boys unsuprisingly lead the way after the first week of AFL-only action, but next weekend the NRL finals get under way:

NRL (worth 1 point)

Sydney Roosters v Brisbane Broncos
Cronulla Sharks v Canberra Raiders
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles v St. George Illawarra Dragons
Melbourne Storm v New Zealand Warriors

AFL (worth 2 points)

Western Bulldogs v Sydney Swans
St. Kilda v Collingwood
