It's still Geg by a single from Matteh at the top, but Mike failing to tip the Sharks/Storm game means he surrenders the bronze spot to an unholy trinity of HDS, 99* & me.

Team

1) Neutrals - 78.75% (63/80)
2) AFL - 72.66% (186/256)
3) NRL - 66.14% (209/316)


The league boys acutally lose ground on their own sport...

"What a difference a day makes..." as Diana Ross once sang. No points from either Geg or Matteh sees them plummit down to 11th & 14th places respectively. Our Norwayanese challenge meanwhile scores the only perfect round (gaining another bonus point in the process) to climb atop of things. A solid 12 sees 99* move to 2nd & the same score sees stedders climb all the way to third.

No tips from ripper, Mike, archie, speirz or Bib means they all cop the round's lowest (4 from NZT, Matteh & Burgey) & where scores and bonuses are tied I've used the total number of correct predictions made to further split the tipsters, which means HDS is outright 4th from myeslf in 5th but pinchy and altoz just could not be separated.

Team

1) Neutrals - 72.12% (75/104)
2) AFL - 64.20% (226/352)
3) NRL - 61.70% (269/436)


It looks like the neutrals' to lose in the team event, but the league boys could yet pip their Aussie Rules rivals for second.

NRL (worth 8 points)

Melbourne Storm v Manly-Warringah See Eagles

Got no chance, but will go the opposite of the leader to maintain the pretence until one of the others between us tips:

Storm.

Storm mainly due to two of the three players above me having picked Manly.

Done much better at this than I'd expected. Woooooop
