That's true, but I also can't hope to win if I do!

@taniwharugby words of wisdom right there

[broughie]

@bones Yeah, watching your performances in these competitions has been underwhelming, but don’t be so hard on yourself.

[Bones]

@broughie finally someone wants to talk about how hard i am

Results are in for Week 1. Now all you have to do is remember to tip for the next 9 weeks.

The reigning champion Winger is already out in the lead with a superb 73 points, almost perfect selections except for being a bit low on the points for the Highlanders and Crusaders. Triple T is just 2 behind with Antipodean, Arhs and Crucial rounding out the top 5.

Only Winger, Triple T, Unite and Donsteppa picked both games 9-16 to the away team but the latter 2 fell down on their category picks. Richie is 45th and last, the only one to pick the Highlanders and the Hurricanes to win.

If anybody's interested in doing the SuperBru one again, I've created a pool called "TheSilverFern".
If people are not bothered, but only because they didn't pick Round One - I can configure it to only count from Round 2 onwards.

I am already entered so I did pick Round 1 - but happy if you start for Round 2. Will join, thanks!

[dogmeat]

@kiwipie I thought I picked Blues and Crusaders?

[KiwiPie]

@dogmeat Spreadsheet says you picked the Highlanders 9-16.

[dogmeat]

@kiwipie Really? I thought I'd double checked.

I normally wait until a few weeks into the season before I get my picks arse about.

Would have got in but didnt see last week and no good enough to start a week behind

[KiwiPie]

Only around 20 have tipped so far this week - is it hard for people to remember to do something 2 weeks in a row? Or maybe you want to give yourself the maximum thinking time.

You start 5 behind the worst tipper last week - so would you have 13 points. And plenty of people will forget to tip as the weeks go by and you will fly past them

Probably because the teams haven't been named for the second match

[Higgins]

@duluth They have now and after looking at that Hurricanes lineup it is a pity a 17++ is not one of the options.

[KiwiPie]

A quick update after Game 1 not at all connected to the fact that I picked the Highlanders to win. All these people picked them too, Delicatessen & Fiamacho with 9-16.

Delicatessen 34
Fiamacho 28
ACT Crusader 24
Rico 24
KP 23
Stockcar86 23
Corkscrew 20
Richie 16

which leaves the top 10 looking like this

Winger 80
ACT Crusader 78
Triple T 78
Stockcar86 77
KP 75
Antipodean 70
Langakali 69
Higgins 69
Victor 68
Rico 68

Plenty of people picked and have zero so far. These people didn't pick at all
