The Creator has stolen the main text for my article this week with his post Stop the Fight! in which he uses Footy Tippers built-in algorithm to predict the top 8 teams for 2022. What he didn’t mention though is the likelihood that one or more teams manage to upset the applecart with shock victories.
Risk versus reward is all well and good, but who foresaw that the Panthers would be left scoreless against the Storm ? (only 15 of us)
Who was going to tip that the Titans would beat the Sea Eagles and essentially destroy Manly’s semifinal hopes in 2022 ? (We actually had 7). StuartS is particularly upset by this result as he was the last remaining punter on a fullcard going into that game.
The Warriors at home can be a hard team to roll. Just ask the Bulldogs. They took the trip across the ditch and copped a 42 – 18 loss.
One wrong standout can cost you big time in your ladder position. Just ask MJP181. The Manly loss cost him 7 places – he now sits in 16th spot – down from 9th and just outside of the $$$
A Rickyless Raiders kept their slim hopes alive with a win over the Dragons. No chairs, walls, telephones, doors, players reputations were harmed this weekend in Canberra. The Dragons are now organising their Mad Monday mayhem activities. Question : Who’s hosting the barbecue this year ?
Here are all the results from round 22 ;
Main Competition
We have a new leader – Admireel (who has been there, or there-abouts all season) has hit the lead by just 1 game only 2 differential points from murch.
Turbohamstrings sits in 3rd – only because of point differential. Panthers29 is only 3 points from the leader now – but he does maintain a greater points differential. PabloW still holds down 5th.
Second (Chance) Competition
Robert Cook has stormed into the lead with a round high score of 232. He leads by 12 from StuartS who almost jagged the fullcard this week. iTerry’s has now dropped to 3rd place but is still in the money.
The Standout
- 53 – got it right.
- 10 – got it wrong
- The average score – 5.84
- Our round high – 9
- Our round low was – Zero
