TotalRL NRL Tipping Competition 2015 Round 26 - RESULTS POSTED, AWARDS PRESENTED

[Graham]

WELCOME
.
This last regular round kicks off on THURSDAY 3rd September.
Our tipping competition runs on right through to and including the Grand Final.
There's a full set of eight games again to tip this coming weekend.
Everyone reading this is welcome to enter this weekly competition which runs throughout the season.
Whether you've taken part before or you fancy having a go this week for the first time you're guaranteed a warm welcome.
Entries are allowed each week up until the kick off of the first game in the round
 
ROUND 26 QUESTIONS:
*Poll Competition: 
Our regular poll comp looks at a different aspect each week. 
This week let's look for the closest game.
Which game will produce the smallest margin of victory in NRL R26?
that's one team's score subtracted from their opponent's score.
- enter in the poll itself at the top and put your answer in your posting. 

Now the main event of the week:

*Match tipping Competition:
Name the 8 (that's EIGHT) winning teams in NRL Round 26

*Points Competition
How many points will be scored by all the teams added together in R26?
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 R26?
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 being added together as the season is progressing to produce a Tipsters' Ladder which is pinned to the top of the forum topic list page
The best of luck to everyone this week.

REMEMBER THE FIRST GAME OF THE ROUND KICKS OFF ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK

Poll:

Broncos vs Storm

 

Close calls RF?

A few thoughts

Well I really hope Storm beat the Broncos, they do have a good record in Brisbane ....

Panthers vs Knights  was a tricky one ... Panthers will surely fight hard to avoid the dreaded Spoon ... then again so will their opponents ... I'll go with home win in front of home crowd...

Tigers are a team who on the day could score heavily and won't want the wooden spoon either .... I could go on ....

[JimBronco]
