Which one, Cronk's or Covell's? Cronk's nearly missed, and Covell nearly pulled off a massive fluke.

[speirz]

Sea Eagles, that way i'll be happy even if I lose.

 

[oz_fan]

Eels

 

[Bobisback]

Warriors ftw.

Not so sure if a draw should knock you out re: tozzer. It's not like the Roosters lost.

In my tipping comp a draw is counted as a loss, as no team won. I assume its the same here.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I reckon there should either be an option to tip a draw (some sort of bye system or something) or it should count as a win, but whatever.

Yep i actually was wondering about that, but then i checked up the rules tha BB put up which states it differently so i guess its tough luck.

Basically exactly the same idea as the football one, except using Australia's leading football code.

For those of you not acquainted with the idea the rules are very straightforward: everyone who enters selects a team from the NRL each week, if they win you stay in but if they lose or draw, you're out. You can only select the same side once in each running of the competition (so if you select, say, St George this week & they win you cannot select them again). The last person left in the competition wins...

So i will just cop it on the chin unfortunately.

Weak.

It makes sense re: Football (soccer) as a draw is much more common.

See boring.

[speirz]

Knights, I don't think i've tipped them this time around.

 

[Bobisback]

Was gonna tip the Knights, but that would be boring. So lets go the Bulldogs.
