******* WELCOME *******
to the R21 tipping competition
If you are reading this is you are welcome to enter.
There's a full set of eight games again this week.
There are therefore no byes and there aren't any no until the end of the regular season..



Entries are allowed each week up until the kick off of the first game in the round
The first game this round is on Friday 27th July

ROUND 21 QUESTIONS:
*Poll Competition:
Which game will produce the largest total of points (both teams scores added together)?
- enter in the poll itself at the top and put your answer in your posting.

Now for the main event of the week:
*Match Tipping Competition:
Name the 8 (that's EIGHT) winning teams in NRL Round 21 2012
*Points Competition
How many points will be scored by all the teams added together in R21?
This is a competition in itself and will act as a tie breaker for the match tipping comp if necessary. This is used as the decider when necessary so do give it a go.
*Home Win Competition:
How many HOME wins will there be in NRL R21 2012?

In rounds where the game is on the road and played at a neutral venue, the team named first in the fixture will be regarded as the home team for the purposes of this competition.

Fixtures:



Animated awards will be given for the winner(s) of each competition question.
Match tipping scores are added together to produce the Tipsters' Ladder which is pinned to the top of the forum topic list page.
The best of luck to everyone.
Enjoy your Rugby League!

Half an hour or so to kick off in R21

[G Las D]

R21 competition is up and running.

Spoiler

Storm's poor run continues. They had a good scoring burst showing a glimpse of their old selves but were beaten by more dominant Dragons forwards, more fluency and variation. Us tipsters stuck with Storm again, apart from R L Winger, but our loyalty bred on many rounds of success has cost us again.
I'm guessing some opponent is going to pay big time when Storm find their form again. Hopefully that'll be before the end of the season! Storm have lost their scoring touch but had plenty of chances. Too many penalties were conceded.
Dragons 26 - 18 Storm

Roosters started with all guns blazing but were eventually overcome by a Titans side with confidence and drive. Roosters ill discipline cost them dearly.
Roosters 16 - 36 Titans

Well done RLW (although you may have voted loyally rather than conviction).
The rest of us ignored form again

[G Las D]

Form? What form?
The general pattern of results for the main part of the season seemed set but R20 saw most of us (not you Kiwityke) with egg on our tipping faces.
This round we are doing a little better, but these rounds in the run up to the finals will be increasingly challenging to us by the look of it.

Doggies and Bunnies are the ones who are currently in good consistent form and look well placed for a Grand Final spot.
Titan and Knights have hit a good run of form of late and maybe they will be the ones to watch. With five more regular rounds to play there's still time for other teams to put in a burst and give the picture a different look.
