Round 26

howard 7
Alternative 7
Brumby 7
Burgey 7
morgieb 6
PEWS 6
Somerset 5
Kyle 5
uvelocity 5
Ausage 4
Johnners 2
BI 2
Ripper 0

Final round of regular season NRL sees some pretty interesting tactics. Some gaming at the top of the summit is to be expected, but Ripper's effort for the spoon was truly heroic and deserves to be lauded. With no major upsets occurring scores were generally high, with 4 people achieving 7s.

Somerset's Friday tips came in late unfortunately, so he gets the lowest score of the evening which was 0.

Overall

howard 122.9
morgieb 119.9
PEWS 118.9
Alternative 115.7
Somerset 114.7
Brumby 106.4
Johnners 105.3
Ausage 103.7
BI 101.5
Burgey 100.3
Kyle 99.5
uvelocity 97.4
Ripper 93.5

Congratulations HOWARDJ. The tipping titan's 9th round victory for the season sees him retain his crown by an eventually comfortable 3 points from morgieb and PEWS. At the other end a truly heroic effort from Ripper sees him come from no where to finish 4 points clear with the (not so) dreaded wooden spoon.

Once again big kudos to everyone for playing. Like last year you were all incredibly consistent making it dead easy for yours truly. Well done and hope to see you all bright eyed and bushy tailed in March 2013.

Fair play to howard once again; chap's an absolute tipping beast. Can the great man three-peat in 2013?

Thanks to Aussers too for the hard yards. Sterling work as ever.

Let the congrats posts flow in from my fellow tippers...

Wow. A perfect Bagle to close the year out. Should have put a multi on at the tab (opposite picks obvs)

Well in HJ.

 

[Somerset]

Congrats howardj, and cheers to Ausage for the admin bits and pieces.

I'll try my best to tip on time each round next season, might help me in the overall standings!

 

[Burgey]

Well done HJ, and cheers Ausage for running the comp this year.
