wow early

I've been really sick and spent lots of time asleep/drugged up in the last week so I don't want to risk being out of it at 7:25 tomorrow.

 

[uvelocity]

This round is so easy, on paper anyway, that I am using my Joker in this round (on the I Tip Footy site that we use here at work, one of the extra features in a tipping comp is the Joker round whereby you get double points for each correct tip for that round. You can only nominate one round out of the 26. This, for me, is the round I am choosing).

Fingers crossed for a bumper round with no upsets.

Yeee harrr

Last I checked we were paying $6 which is very good value imo. Still not very confident though.

Yeah not confident to go for any of the outside chances here. Pretty similar tipping from everyone so far, only a few slight changes.

Yeah I've already had a punt on Penrith which is why I considered tipping them. In the end though there really is a big difference from saying I think they're > 16% chance of winning to actually saying they're > 50% chance of winning.

I picked the same as you but I'm uneasy about this round. It seems easy but a little too easy.

If I had to pick an outsider I would go for the Titans and Dragons.

I can't believe people are so hard on for a 1-6 Warriors. They'll probably go win now that I've tipped against them and said that ofc.

They gave the Storm a decent fight in Melbourne while the Titans got belted at home last week. Might have something to do with it.

Round 8

uvelocity 7
howard 6
Brumby 6
Alternative 6
Coronis 6
PEWS 6
Burgey 6
NUFAN 6
morgieb 5
Ausage 5
Kyle 5
Biased Indian 5
Johnners 5
Somerset 5

Huge amount of predictable picks this as a few have mentioned. This led to a huge number of 6s from those that picked all the safe bets. The notable exception is uv who wins the round thanks to him resisting the urge to pick Tigers and getting the Sunday victory for the Sharks over the Knights.

Overall

howard 49.3
Brumby 44.2
Alternative 44.2
uvelocity 42.2
Coronis 42.2
Somerset 40.2
Johnners 40.1
PEWS 40
morgieb 40
Ausage 39.1
Biased Indian 39.1
Burgey 37
NUFAN 37
Kyle 34

As would be expected on a safe week like this, there is very little movement in the standings. HJ maintains his 5 point gap at the top, though Uv's round victory propels him into exual 4th. At the bottom Kyle moves a point deeper into the spoon position.

Additionally this was Johnners, Biased Indian and Somerset's second week in a row without tipping. They will need to tip this week or be cut from the comp.
