Can anyone see other people in the challenge.

I can only see my own name.

Any 37 points, not too bad especially since there was a draw.
Lets hope I can keep this up

markE · 29th July 2007, 17:29

42 points for me, picked the bay to beat southland but not the margin

blynk · 29th July 2007, 18:22

Oops, didn't see that last game. Got that horribly wrong. All of a sudden 37 looks a bit average for the week

oOo Dragon oOo · 29th July 2007, 18:44

Yeah 37 here as well. Didnt realise I'd picked Southland at all so I should have paid a little more attention. Although I was glad there was a draw because if Northland had won my mother in law would have beaten me. Esp since I told her she was a silly woman for picking northland to win anything

Same, re. HB. I also didn't pick the draw. I got 45.

Cereal Killar · 29th July 2007, 19:59

34. Hopefully my performance compared to the rest of you is not indicative of how I'll go through the entire season.

xor · 30th July 2007, 11:38

5 of the Auckland backs are grammar boyz

I always pick the Bay

(but not 13+!)

39 points for me (missed teh draw, but that was the only red mark on my scorecard)

badassmofo · 30th July 2007, 11:45

Bad Company.

Bloody North Harbour, Naki, and Southland

Thanks dude

Trouble is, I seen to start well every series, and then I lose it. I'm hoping I can break that pattern this time.

mr selfdestruct · 6th August 2007, 16:10

Just keep picking intelligently and don't fall in love with any teams and fool yourself into thinking they can win against impossible odds (how most people end up losing badly).

Hope Newland gets a two year suspension for that hit on Tialata, what a homo.

mr selfdestruct · 10th August 2007, 09:35

Damn you Northland!

leadinjector · 10th August 2007, 10:14

lol at any team that loses to northland

Cereal Killar · 10th August 2007, 22:52

Another LOL at North Harbour. Another draw.

oOo Dragon oOo · 10th August 2007, 23:39

jesus.. Im 0 from 3

Cereal Killar · 11th August 2007, 00:13

2 from 3 (margins correct as well). Hopefully I can keep it up, because I had a pretty bad 2nd week that I need to make up for.

chiQ · 11th August 2007, 09:20

Ugh! I'm one from three and that with the wrong margin. Nasty!

same here. I thought I forgot to put my picks in. I now wish I did, I would at least got the 2 right.

Scumbag · 13th August 2007, 02:07

Nice round - 40 points

Makes up for forgetting last week, not going to do that again in a hurry.

Now I'm intimidated by more choices for week 4 - eep.

Cereal Killar · 13th August 2007, 07:44

40 points as well. Nice little climb. So, who are the decent 2nd Division teams?

blynk · 13th August 2007, 09:38

Man, this game sucks

Well at least there is some competition from the lower, previously Division 2 teams.

Only got 21 points.

mr selfdestruct · 13th August 2007, 09:45

29. From what I can see, that's a pretty decent score for the people in the top 10, I'll hold my place :P

Ahh fuck, spoke too soon - forgot my picks.

*sigh*

Cereal Killar · 16th August 2007, 20:30

I remembered, but don't have a clue about the 2nd Division teams. This could be a painful weekend.

mr selfdestruct · 17th August 2007, 09:03

It doesn't really matter if you remember and still pick the wrong teams unfortunately. Damn you Tasman!

Mental Note: If a match is being played in a swimming pool, pick the home team because they're more likely to know where certain parts of the field are such as the goal posts and try line even when they're completely submerged in storm water.

Rince · 18th August 2007, 17:25

32 points from 4 games played so far

w00t

I just picked the home team for all of them. I think the 2nd div should be a different score and not part of the main comp

Cereal Killar · 18th August 2007, 19:23

Mmmk.

3 out of 4 (margins correct). Why do I continually give North Harbour the benefit of the doubt?

Rince · 19th August 2007, 23:43

56 points total... I was either exactly right or completely wrong - no "right team, wrong margin"s

blynk · 20th August 2007, 09:55

I'm sorry, I am going to give up on this now that we have to do Division 2 teams. Its just stupid.

Good luck everybody.

oOo Dragon oOo · 20th August 2007, 14:29

Lol I got a massive 53. My Mother in-law got 71. She is always like 'Well you guys can look up online and see what the odds are etc etc so Im at a disadvantage.' - father inlaw puts picks in for her.

This has nothing to do with the fact she has Newspaper clippings about every result and team where they finished etc etc for the last 3 bloody years.

Rince · 23rd August 2007, 09:23

Waikato to take the RS in Week 5, defend it against Cunterbury in Week 6, and then lose it to Wellington in Week 8

booooyah

mr selfdestruct · 23rd August 2007, 17:39

Correction, to hold onto it against Wellington, to hold onto it against Hawkes Bay and then to hold onto it in the final round against Auckland thus helping me win the $10 bet I put on them to BE holding it at the end of the 2007 season!
