NRL Tips: Round 7 results

My second best week of NRL tips for the year. It’s amazing how much a little bit of extra effort helps…although to the same extent I thought I had tipped some certain winners in the AFL and that didn’t go so well. Tipping really is as much about luck as it is about skill.

Roosters V Dragons -24
Storm V Warriors +10
Sea Eagles V Rabbitohs -8
Cowboys V Raiders +18
Tigers V Broncos +10
Titans V Knights -24
Sharks V Bulldogs +16
Panthers V Eels +32

NRL Round 7 total: +30

Previous rounds
NRL Round 1 total: -20
NRL Round 2 total: +24
NRL Round 3 total: -30
NRL Round 4 total: -12
NRL Round 5 total: +42
NRL Round 6 total: -53

Total for the year so far: -19

AFL Tips: Round 5 results

Last week I stated that the aim for this week was to reverse the trend of my week-by-week scores getting lower and lower. Alas, no such luck.

Essendon V Collingwood +46
St. Kilda V Sydney -16
Fremantle V Richmond +1
GWS V Gold Coast -44
Carlton V Adelaide -32
Western Bulldogs V Geelong -21
Port Adelaide V West Coast -5
Brisbane V Melbourne -28
Hawthorn V North Melbourne +3

Before the last game, I was sitting on -99 and I wouldn’t have been unhappy if North Melbourne had won as this would have given me a score of -100 or more, and there were a few moments in that match where exactly -100 was possible. Still, it is nice to not be as far down as that.

AFL Round 5 total: -96

Previous rounds
AFL Round 1 total: +199
AFL Round 2 total: +148
AFL Round 3 total: +138
AFL Round 4 total: +8

Total for the year so far: +397

Hopefully next week turns out better than this one.

AFL Tips: Round 4 results

Not such a good week for my tips this week. My blind loyalty to the Bulldogs (especially at a wet Adelaide home ground) didn’t help, but the Kangaroos rescued me and got my back in to positive territory with their big win last night.

Sydney V Geelong -21
Hawthorn V Fremantle +42
Richmond V Collingwood -34
St. Kilda V Essendon +37
Gold Coast V Port Adelaide +38
West Coast V Carlton -24
Melbourne V GWS -41

The aim for next week is simple…prevent that line from going down!

AFL Tips: Round 4

There’s no NRL this week due to a weekend of representative rugby league matches, so that gives me more time to focus on my AFL tips than usual. Whether that’s a good thing or not is debatable, but I would hope that it is.

Sydney V Geelong
Hawthorn V Fremantle
Richmond V Collingwood
St. Kilda V Essendon
Gold Coast V Port Adelaide
West Coast V Carlton
Melbourne V GWS
Adelaide V Western Bulldogs
North Melbourne V Brisbane

Now that you’ve seen who I’m tipping, factor it in to your calculations and be sure to check out TAB’s AFL & NRL footy tipping website.
If you fancy tipping on this week’s round, I suggest having a look at TAB Footy Tipping.
TAB run are running an AFL / NRL tipping competition this season with weekly prizes. Check it out!

Next week the NRL is back, so I have until then to try and figure out how to get those tips back on track, as so far my AFL tips have been good, but I haven’t had much success with the NRL. I should also remind you that next week the footy starts on ANZAC Day (Thursday) in both codes, so my tips will be online on the Thursday morning, or possibly Wednesday night as it looks like I’ll be working on Thursday morning.
