******* WELCOME *******
to the R22 tipping competition
Everyone is welcome to enter.
There's a full set of eight games again this week.
There are therefore no byes and there aren't any more in 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 3rd August

ROUND 22 QUESTIONS:
*Poll Competition:
How many teams will score only 9 or less points in NRL Round 22?
- 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 22 2012
*Points Competition
How many points will be scored by all the teams added together in R22?
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.
*Away Win Competition:
How many AWAY wins will there be in NRL R22 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!

Hola Senor Barney.
So the heat/sun is causing you terrible problems ... you really do have my sympathy
Hope you've had a good week in sunny Spain, recovering from the Blackpool adventure.
Just thought you'd like to know the weather's terrific here in Yorkshire - the sun is shining all day long every day, even at night and the temperature is just below the boiling point of my piña colada.

The ticker I've used successfully for the countdown in previous weeks seems to have packed up on me this week. I take it it isn't just me who can't see it in the competition setting post above.


Finding another ticker site that has appropriate imagery producing a URL I can use here appears difficult. I've found this one though I've had to choose biking towards an oak tree!

Round 22 competition is up and running. the first game has kicked off.

[G Las D]

Well we're all off to a resounding raspberry of a start. We all plumped for a Dragons win. After about five minutes I sensed the error of our ways in going for them!

[Bourbon Rat]

Hmm ? Either the Dragons / Storm result was an advantage blip for the red V last week
Or the Chooks had a really good look at the tape & shut down the 2 danger points

I reckon the Roosters are the real deal at the moment. The Dragons took advantage of a misfiring Storm without showing consistency.

Storm v Panthers
Hmm ? Was strange being home from a Saturday game by 7PM
Time taken to realise everyone was 'back in their rightful place' ? 30 seconds

Why the early kick off?
Was it to please the TV schedulers?
We had three games shown here live one after the other Saturday morning from early morning to lunch time.

Bit of a stinker we're having with this weekend's tipping. Maybe we can all console ourselves that Barney is sunning himself in glorious southern Spain.
No I don't think so either.
Most of us have gone for the tiggers tomorrow, just Southstander13 opting for the Eels.
The best any of us can get is 4/8 this week.

What happened to Warriors? That was a real shock. It looks like Carney and Gallen's return sparked a Shark Surge or should that be resurgence?

[kiwityke]

Warriors were flat as a pancake! 13,800 watched the debacle.

We let Inu go and look at the Bulldogs now.
we have signed Dane Neilsen for next season. Storm dropped him and returned to winning ways. Go figure.
