Hey all,
I know @Expensive_Horse5538 burnt out running it last year, so I’m offering to step up to the plate.
I know the season doesn’t kick off in a little over two weeks time, but thought I gauge interest on running it via ESPN Footy Tipping (https://footytips.com.au) this year - and posting a screenshot of the round’s results after each round to keep everyone updated.
Would like to hear your thoughts 
Would I still be able to post my tips here like usual or will it now be through Footy Tips?
I don’t mind either way.
I guess through Footy Tips so it counts it and allows you to compete against everyone else
You’re still welcome to post your tips here though as you won’t see what others have tipped before the game starts
Polls seem positive about the shift to footytipping.com.au so, competition rules time…
On top of the STANDARD tipping, an optional secondary competiton will run. Longest streak. Available to play under the ‘streak’ tab on the ‘Tip Now’ menu. It’s as simple as it sounds

The competiton will begin with Round 1 on Sunday March 1 1:15pm AEDT
Make sure you include the exclamation work when you enter the password to enter the competition. I almost fell into the trap when I register for the comp this afternoon.

16 Hours till Round One kicks off in Las Vegas!
I’m in.
It was a round of blowouts to open the competition, and the difference came down to the various margins set for the Newcastle V North Qld match.
Apologies if I do ping you and you aren’t in these positions, but leading after round one is
1st @JohnsonTV - Clear of all opposition, 6pts
2nd @sj2450 - Picked the margin for the match perfectly, 5pts (0)
3rd @ElCapitanCranky - Off by two points but couldn’t snag another point to level with 1st. 5pts (2)
That’s this week’s tipping update - make sure to get your tips in for Thursday night’s clash of the Broncos V Eels.
I’m NickDaicosBrownlow for reference! 
Another topsy-turvy round which featured AJ’s 213th try to top the all time record.
Most games were tipped the same, but those split calls made all the difference.
Margins deciding places 2nd to 5th - so it’s anyone’s game! - this week’s leaders (again, apologies if I ping you incorrectly):
1st Katie (IDK who this is, feel free to claim your Round 2 crown) - one short of a perfect round and the perfect round bonus. 12pts
2nd @sj2450 - Holds off the pack by his margin of 2, two off the perfect run. 11pts (18)
3rd @JohnsonTV - tumbling from first, 3/8 incorrect. 11pts (20)
Also a friendly reminder tips are available to do right up to kickoff so make sure you don’t miss any, or you might be missing out on points.
That’s this week’s tipping update - make sure to get your tips in for Thursday’s battle in the nation’s capital with the Raiders V Bulldogs.
Cheers to another round of footy, a few sliding that round with the Broncos beating out the Storm and the Phins beating out the Sharkies.
1st Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to claim your crown so you can be tagged) - Second week on the top with a perfect margin pick - got the upsets wrong and cost her the perfect round. 18pts.
2nd @sj2450 stays in 2nd this week amid a close fight for second. Remains hunting for 1st. 17 pts. (24)
3rd @ElCapitanCranky back into 3rd off his margins, 6pts (4)
That’s this week’s tipping report 
I’m laughing at how I was the ONLY one who didn’t tip the Warriors. As you can see - It didn’t pay off..
And ofc Bronoos win when I decided not to tip them
Typical
1st Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to claim your crown so you can be tagged) - Third straight week on top, one point ahead of the field. 21 points.
2nd @sj2450 holds onto 2nd place for a third week in a row. 20pts (7)
3rd @ElCapitanCranky steady in third, only there by the margin. 20pts (5)
And that’s the look back on the week that was, now make sure to tip for tonight’s clash of Dolphins V Sea Eagles
1st Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to claim your crown so you can be tagged) - A month on the top spot of the podium, clear by two points. 27 points.
2nd @ElCapitanCranky moves up to second with a tumble above happening. 25 points
3rd @foxyrover gets the final seat on the podium after weeks, in a battle for it. 24pts (91)
And that was Round 5 in the books, onwards to Round 6 with the Doggies V Panthers match Thursday Night 7.50pm
Happy to take up the baton for a week.
@Holden_Straya you might have forgotten to tip
No doubt the upset of the round was Bulldogs defeating Panthers on Thursday night. On the podium this week are:
1st Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to claim your crown so you can be tagged) - 5 straight weeks on top, leads by one.
2nd @LiamP utilizing the “Joker” option and appears in the top 3 for the first time.
3rd @ElCapitanCranky slides down one spot, though was close.
@Holden_Straya did not tip for the round and is therefore stuck at 19pts.
Firstly, thank you to @News727 for delivering the ladder for last round while I was off overseas
Looking back on the week that was, several shockers of the Cowboys and Doggies losing cost us some points, as well as Katie C using a Joker similar to how @LiamP did last round to extend her lead.
Here’s the top three:
1st Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to claim your crown so you can be tagged) - 6 weeks in the top spot and extending her lead with the Joker. 38 points
2nd @LiamP sitting comfortable in second after last week’s clever Joker play. 34 points
3rd @sj2450 sits atop the battle for third this week, thanks to margins. 32 points (123)
A reminder to @Holden_Straya to tip or you risk falling behind, at 19 points.
Round 8 begins Thursday with Wests Tigers V Canberra Raiders 7.50pm
Don’t remind him. 
Bahaha well I’m in two tipping comps at the moment
The school one & the MediaSpy one.
Trust me.. I’ll try to get them in!
