Final Update

The last day of the season provided its usual share of shocks, thrills and spills, meaning it was tough tipping out there for everyone. 4s and 3s were the orders of the day, except for ripper who showed us all the way with a 5 for a sixth weekly bonus.

Weekly

ripper 5
marc 4
Ausage 4
HDS 4
GF 4
bi 4
Somerset 4
altoz 4
fatt 4
chalky 4
Noble One 4
Brumby 4
Cevno 3
GIMH 3
Vimes 3
Marcuss 3
fertang 3
Halsey 3


So here we are, after 38 games spread over 36 weeks it's finally all over.

No last round shocks here, chalky's 4 is enough to hang onto his lead and take the crown back to the north east. However it did take Albion equalising in the 90th minute against his fellow northern-easterners Newcastle after being 3-0 down to give him the 4th point that snatched the title from fatt, who can console himself with a silver. Your humble scorer rounds out the medals in third. Sam, fred and tozz make up the top six.

At the foot Ausage can't lift himself from the basement as his rivals match his 4. A 3 from Cevno tho lifts HDS to the vertigo-inducing heights of fifteenth!

The Final Standings

1) chalky 179.05
2) fatt 178.06
3) Brumby 177.05
4) Vimes 176.04
5) fertang 174.04
6) altoz 174.02
7) bi 173.02
8) GIMH 170.02
9) ripper 165.06
10) Marcuss 165.02
11) Noble One 163.03
12) marc 158.02
13) GF 155.01
14) Halsey 152
15) HDS 149.03
=16) Cevno 149.02
=16) Somerset 149.02
18) Ausage 149.01


Congrats to chalky then and thanks to all who took part, especially all of you who stuck with it to the very end.

Hope to see you back next season.

Avoided the Wooden Spoon by 0.01

The battle at the bottom here too was as close as the premiership. LOL.

Mid table finish. Made worse because I believe I tipped in every round.

Thanks BB for a well run season. Congrats to Chalky for winning.

Woo! Out of the relegation zone on "goal difference". Commiserations to the relegated trio. Particularly happy that I didn't just copy other guys picks to ensure that finish. Close run thing though. Well run, as always, Brumbers.

Like i said earlier, this comp should be decided by he who has the most round wins ...that doesn't follow others tips when they don't post...

Cheers Brumbles, stirling effort as always.

I guess my consolation prize is the knowledge that my tipping career couldnt possibly get any worse. My NRL tipping is even worse if believable.

Massive thanks to Brumby for an impeccably run comp as always.

Jesus. Hadn't realised there was such a huge difference. Clapo, who was last in 2010, would've been 2nd with his score this year (179.01).

I guess the "big four" coming back to (and, in a couple of cases being swallowed up by) the pack has made for fewer bankers.

Close run thing but very pleased to avoid the wooden spoon by 0.01 of a point! Hoping for a more successful year next season.

Whoo Hoo a CW double for me the div 3 league for Hartlepool & the prediction league for me Monkey Hangers rule

Haven't been always able to get on line recently for various reasons but made sure i got my predictions in even if meant posting from work or a mates house - a bit sad really.

Cheers for all the work Brumby much appreciated hopefully I will be able to post more & get a bit more involved before next season starts.
