Mondays Round 2 Wrap

Cut-off Times for this week…

Thursday 26th March 2020

Raiders v Dragons 8:05pm AESDT

Tips will not be accepted after this time.

Your Round 3 Tipsheet is attached

While the NRL continues to forge ahead with the 2020 competition, we will continue to tip.

So as at this morning we are going on with round 3. With the leagues clubs now having to shut their doors (and no doubt start laying off staff effective today), I personally can’t see it lasting much longer. With pubs and clubs closing, where can we watch the games NOT broadcast on free to air ? (Unless you score tickets to the balcony at Leichhardt Oval). There is talk of relocating all games to country Queensland, so if you use home/away as part of your selection criteria, be mindful that games could be rescheduled.

The Eels will want it to continue as they currently lead the comp. Good wins to the Knights and Raiders also sees them get off to a good start in 2020.   

Meanwhile the Roosters probably hope it stops so they can take stock. This is the first and last time you will ever hear it from me, but they were done big time by Stinky Manly yesterday despite the 9 -8 score line. Manly would have felt robbed if they lost that one. Only 11 tippers out of our field predicted that result (probably just the Manly supporters)– 70 thought the reigning premiers would get up.

The Standout

We didn’t catch too many out this week with the favourites largely getting up. 

75 – got it right.

6 – got it wrong. 

The weekly average score was an impressive 7.4.

Ladder Leaders

We have a new outright leader on 20 points (thanks to jagging the full card) – well done Big Papi Productions.  

Historical leaders

  • Aaron C and Chur_moi (Round 1)

Footy Tipper Weekly Jackpot*

We had 2 clever punters manage to pick the full card – Big Papi Productions and Splinter so our Footy Tipper Weekly Jackpot for Round 3 now stands at $30.

*Note:

– To be eligible to win this prize you must be the sole person to select the full card with a Standout.

– The Weekly Jackpot will continue. However, payouts will be suspended until it is clear the competition is to continue.

Good luck with your tipping this week.

    Our thoughts are with our AFL brethren who must be devastated. Let’s hope a similar thing doesn’t happen to the NRL

    I think it’s only a matter of time Adel.

    The AFL can afford to suspend the competition. The NRL will face all obstacles to complete as many rounds before COVID-19 or the Governments grounds them to a halt.
