Firstly I’d like to thank everyone for their participation in yet another successful season for Footy Tipper. We saw another season where we had tippers spread around the world – with punters from PNG, London, Cape Town….. It was great to see our trade mark spread across the globe.

We continue to run this comp only because of everyone’s positive feedback every year. I mean, we don’t get paid for this, in fact it costs Robbie money to host FT website, but do we care ? NO ! We spend hours validating the tips received and those not received . We worry if you didn’t submit your tips. We wonder whether you are okay ? You won’t find that love in any other tipping comp.

Okay, the weekly wraps are crap and drafted really quickly on Monday mornings and my jokes and jibes are lame and a waste of time reading, but we do care about you. I get a lot of satisfaction writing that crap each week – I have had many “laugh out loud” moments during the season (largely to myself that is – I consider myself the Kerry O’Keefe of NRL commentators)

What we attempt each year is to make our offering better than the year before. We consume plenty of beers during our brainstorming meetings coming up with new stuff. Who else offers you ;

• Weekly tipper statistics
• Personal stats trackers and graphs
• Weekly prizes and Jackpots
• A 2nd chance to win mid-season (when you thought all was lost)
• Quizzes
• Rob’s Rant
• Live ladders

Remember all this in 2021 when we invite you back. If everyone committed to enlist just 2 more friends or family each, we would have 250 tippers playing !! Just imagine the prize pool !

Note From The Creator

Wow. That season had it all. Two refs, one ref. Crowds, no crowds, cardboard crowds. A pause and reschedule. New rules. For 20 rounds, if it felt like a long season, it was.

Congratulations to the NRL for managing to restart and completing the competition.

Firstly, a big thank you to all Tipsters for participating this season. Although there wouldn’t have been the same watercooler experiences, I hope we managed to keep you entertained and invested in the competition.

Congratulations to all our winners for 2020. This year we have paid out a total of $2490 in prizes to 13 different Tipsters (that equates to 1 in 6). The rest of us will be left to look at My Stats on the Tipsheet to ponder what could have been.

Finally, a big thank you to Pablo for running Footy Tipper and for all those awesome weekly wraps and posts. In case you missed it, here are my two favourite Pablo posts:
