Tempus fugit 

It seems like only yesterday that we were starting with our Round 1 tipping competition and now here we are with our blockbusting Grand Final occasion just a few days away. 

Everyone is welcome to take part in this competition
This season has once more been a very friendly but fiercely fought affair.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it. Your friendship and company has been much appreciated 
QUESTIONS:
1. Name the WINNING TEAM ... STORM OR COWBOYS
2. Tot up the two teams predicted scores and give us your predicted match POINTS TOTAL
3. Poll question this week: How many tries will be scored altogether by the two teams in the game? 
pick one of the options above - answer in the poll above but also in your posting.

So here's to a great competition, and may the best tipster and team win! 
Good Luck everyone - there'll be an animated award as usual.

Cheers,
Graham

Congratulations  to Rugby Female  on her victory.  How apt the champion wins the final week. Congratulations to the minor prize winners. 

Thanks to Graham for all his work.

[Graham]

Yes congratulations RF you are a worthy champion. It was fitting you won this week.

Thanks to everyone who took part this season. We have a very special group of people  here. 

I reckon there should be a 'stickability' prize too! 

Thanks Irish Saint, your kind words are much appreciated.

I've got a lot of work to do if I want to have any chance of climbing any higher next year.  Or have I already hit my peak, and it's all downhill from here. 

[Graham]

You've had a good season SG. The first of many...

Will be great to have you along again in next season's comp.

It's a good position for me.  I'm scared of heights, so I don't think I'd cope well being near the top of the table.
