Footy Tipper 2022 – Round 10 – Magic Round Wrap

I’m not so sure Magic Round went exactly as planned.

Agro In The Stands. An ugly brawl in the crowds marred the first night of competition. What is supposed to be a festival atmosphere and a celebration of footy at Suncorp Stadium descended into violence in the stands as groups of rugby league fans engaged in violent clashes with one another.

A Hard Rains a Gunna Fall. Proud Queenslanders regularly rub the rest of Australia’s noses in the pooh with their tourism promotion “Queensland – Beautiful one day, perfect the next” – well what the hell happened there ? It belted down the entire weekend. If not for the diligence of the turf craftsmen (formerly known as greens-keepers) repairing the divots, game 8 would have looked like the SCG in the 1963 Grand Final from which our Gladiators Trophy was born.

The Gladiators 1963

Tippers Nightmares. The tale of the stats says it all ;

  • Round high only 8 (well done Cruella)
  • Round low – Minus 1
  • Average score – 3.17
  • The most popular score for the weekend was just 1, with 17 punters scoring that.
  • The standout – 42 WRONG. Only 28 got it right.

All Queensland teams had wins in their respective matches. The Broncos demolition of Manly 38 – 0. The Titans win in Golden Point over the Dragons 20 – 16. The Cowboys made it 5 straight against the Tigers with plenty of razzle dazzle 36 – 12.

Then we saw the Sharks rolled by the Raiders 30 – 10. We had 35 punters get their standouts wrong because of that one. And the Eels get steamrolled by the Roosters  31 – 24.

What chance did we mere punters have ? Magic ? I think not.

Here are all the results from round 10 ;

Main Competition

Murch and Turbohamstrings continue their battle at the top of the ladder. Then we have the big movers – MLC moves up 7 places and into 3rd. Panthers29, I miss Benji and Krusty all move into the top 8 with great rounds of 6 and 7. (I wont mention the big losers cos there are just too many of them).
