Round 2

Ausage 5
PEWS 5
morgieb 4
howard 4
Ripper 4
Howsie 4
BI 3
Somerset 3
Johnners 3
Burgey 3
Brumby 2
Alternative 2

Another round of tipsters flying a little blind as the dust settles on the quality of this year's competition. Pews hitting 2 from 2 on Friday and yours truly picking both the Raiders and the mighty Panthers was the difference in another close round. Brumby had a week he'd rather forget, while tipping stalwart Alternative was strangely absent, something we hope to see as a one round anomaly

Overall

Ausage 9.1
morgieb 9.1
howard 9.1
PEWS 8.1
BI 8.1
Ripper 8
Brumby 7.1
Howsie 7
Somerset 7
Johnners 6
Alternative 6
Burgey 5

Cumulative scores after round 2 see a three way tie for top spot, with none of last weeks winners able to grab a big score this week. Pews, BI and Ripper close by, with Burgey remaining at the foot of the table. However with only 4 points seperating 1 and 12 it's anyones game, including any tipsters that want to join in late in the piece.

So bad I lost my weekly bonus for week one?

Seems unduly harsh...

Hell no! Good to have you back mate You'll start a point below the Burge on 4.

Round 3

Ripper 5
morgieb 4
howard 4
Brumby 4
Johnners 4
Kyle 4
PEWS 3
Burgey 3
Ausage 2
Alternative 2
BI 2
Howsie 2
Somerset 2

Third round of the year sees a whopping 6 tipsters end up with a middle of the road 4, with only Ripper ending up above the pack. Interestingly not a single person picked the league leading Bulldogs, but not a single person picked against second placed Manly. Disappointing turnout, with CWs kiwi contingent missing the boat along with BI. They suffer the ignomity of sharing the ordinary 2 scored by yours truly and Alternative.

Overall

Ripper 13.1
morgieb 13.1
howard 13.1
Brumby 11.1
PEWS 11.1
Ausage 11.1
BI 10.1
Johnners 10
Howsie 9
Somerset 9
Kyle 8
Burgey 8
Alternative 8

Still very tight at the top, with hj, Ripper and morgieb sharing first place, but there is a 2 point gap between 3rd and 4th. Poor showings from Alternative and Burgey sees Kyle leapfrog them both with his round defining 4.

I actually only got three. You've given me my correct overall score (11.1) so it seems you got it right somewhere along the line, but you've put 4 next to my name for the Round 3 subtotal.

And I may not have tipped the Sharks but I won over $400 betting on them to win 1-12, so I'm happy they won anyway..

Yeah those were juicy numbers for the Sharks. Played well too.

Anyway fixed.
