Greetings tipsters,
This is a quick, easy and additional competition for the nine games of the NRL finals series. The best part is that you won't have to do any additional work.
How it works
I'll be keeping a tally of everyone's results for the nine games played during the finals, and I will record those scores on this page. Every tipster that correctly picks at least 6 of the 9 games will go into the draw to win an additional prize. Two tipsters will be randomly drawn from that group of tipsters as the winners. The two winners will be drawn from a shoe box by Mrs Thinker.
The prizes
Each of the two winning tipsters will receive an NRL team cap - the winners pick the team. These will be the black camo embroidered caps - which I happen to think look terrific. Here is a link to one of them so you can see what I mean:
Broncos Black Camo Embroidered Cap
I'll contact winning tipsters directly by email to arrange delivery of the prizes.
Wally Lewis and The Thinker are not eligible, but all other registered tipsters have been automatically entered in this competition. You don't have to register your interest to join...you already have :-)
But, if anyone has any questions, or if anyone wants to tell me what a top bloke I am, just add it in the comments and I will respond as soon as I can.

Hi Mr thinker, I am a kiwi living in a little town called Kamo, it is a suburb of Whangarei in N.Z. I have followed your tips etc for the first time and am very impressed with your write ups. I hope you keep it going next year Cheers. Graham. 👍
Submitted by The Thinker on
Hi Graham
Nice to hear from you. I've heard of Whangarei but I must admit I don't where it is.
If you'd like to join the tipping comp next year let me know. Hopefully my picks are a little more successful in 2022.
All the best

Hi everyone
Just a reminder that you don't have to put your finals tips on this page (but you can if you want to).
If you just submit your tips as per normal I can collate the results from there.
Also...this competition is only open to people who are already registered as tipsters for this season. It's my way of thanking them for hanging around all year.
Apologies to those who have missed out.
All the best
The Thinker

Hi Thinker!
Thanks for opening the tipping earlier this year. This was the first year i never bothered you with late tips... But there may have been a strong correlation with my atrocious tipping compared to past seasons 😖 I had fun and plan to be back in 2022. So, thanks again mate! The Tide Head 😎👍
Submitted by The Thinker on
Thanks The Tide Head
Glad you had fun, and I hope to see you back next year.
All the best

Hi Thinker.org
I actually don't tip here but I must say that your comments did help me in our local village tipping competition.
Out of 25 rounds I actually got 10 games correct. This page/blog did assist me so much. Thank you THE-THINKER and hopefully I will be able to tip here as well....
Kind regard,
JayR (PNG)

You're welcome JayR (PNG)
Well done with the local tipping competition. It's great to hear about all the interest in the NRL in PNG.
All the best

Good luck to everybody throughout the finals with their tipping. That cap looks amazing would be exciting to get a Dragons one of those! Fingers crossed!
Cheers!!!!!!

Hi Thinker, the new competition sounds like fun!
Thanks for running the Tipping Competition again this year.
As usual I finished somewhere in the middle of the pack, but I'm used to that.
Looking forward to playing again next year and improving my terrible tipping record.
Many thanks to you and Mrs. Thinker.
Cheers, manyana.

Hey Mr Thinker,
I didn't realise we were still tipping. I've missed the Storm/Seagles game so a doughnut for me. If possible, could you please put me down for the remaining:
Roosters
Panthers
Eels
Cheers, much appreciated

Greetings everyone,
30 tipsters have qualified for the prize draw.
I will put all the names into my thinking cap, and as soon as I can find Mrs Thinker we will draw two winners.
All the best
Submitted by The Thinker on
Greetings qualifiers,
Mrs Thinker has drawn two names for us and our lucky winners of the Getting under the cap competition are:
Rocket Ryan and Mark Ashford
Congratulations to you both. I will contact you directly to arrange the prizes and delivery.
Thanks to everyone for being a part of it.
All the best

Surely this was rigged Thinker....two Broncos supporters....haha!!
Submitted by The Thinker on
@steel panther
I can't believe the Broncos still have two supporters
Unrelated - did I see that the band you are named after are touring next year (including a gig in Auckland) ?
Submitted by Steel Panther on
Well that's two more supporters than the Warriors have Thinker after their disgraceful finish!!
SP have had their OZ/NZ tour rescheduled four times now since Covid hit. They were due to play here on my birthday towards the end of this month but have resheduled again for October 2022!!
Submitted by manyana on
Well done to the winners. The Broncos have at least 3 supporters, including me.
