Congratulations to 'The Last Samurai', 'Footy Chick', Wally Lewis and 'Princess' for topping this season's comp - well done!

To all other tipsters, congratulations too and look forward to continuing next season.

To 'a' - your comp is great fun and keeps the mind active trying to strategize, so once again, many thanks.

Many, many thanks to 'The Thinker', Mrs Thinker and the Thinkers Little Helper for all the work you put into the site, that makes it possible to share opinions (and music), learn/share with others, and add our weekly tips.

Cheers to all,
Mary

Congratulations to all other place getters and all tippers contributions I feel so humbled to be placed on the honour board.Undoubtebly all of you are so knowledable to our pastime.
Believe or not this is a first to win a competition in 8 years of tipping.
Please sign me up Thinker for a 2022 title defence(not likely lol)

Congratulations to The Last Samurai, Footy Chick and Princess ( Wally is not eligible). Tipping is difficult anytime but with the covid moves etc you three have shone out. Don't get too comfortable as many of us will come after you three next year.
Lastly but not leastly a huge thanks to the Thinker, his family and of course TLH without these people this would not be happening.
OOPS a final tip of the hat to Footy Chick. You have been up there for so many years I've been in this comp. Well done whoever you are!!!

Congrats to the 3 winners. I wish I could be as consistent as Footy Chick she's always at, or near the top.
Well done to everyone.
See you all next year.

Greetings tipsters

Congratulations to our top three placegetters in 2023 - plenty of new faces at the top this season, with Wild Oscar and Rabbitoh Chick on debut this year, and Rikki Sixx in just his (I think) second season of tipping.

In addition, our random prize this season goes to Moonlight.

Congratulations to all our prizewinners. I'll be in touch with the four winners directly to arrange your prizes.

All the best

The Thinker

Been following this site for many years and only joined the comp in the last couple years. Need to learn to make good tipping decisions early in the year, when nobody knows who's going to win. Lol!!! Thanks to The Thinker and Co for keeping this comp going and making the year fun! See you next year all. Cheers

Congratulations to the winners.
I "dips me lid" to you.
Thank you Thinker for running the competition again this year.
I think that this year is the highest I've ever been in the tipping competition.
Maybe there's hope for me yet lol.
Well done to everyone who managed to submit their tips for all games.
Looking forward to being in the competition again next year.
Cheers, manyana.

Hi Thinker I didn’t receive an email regarding the prize. Thanks Rabbitoh chick

Rikki Sixx's picture

Congratulations Wild Oscar and thanks Rabbitoh Chick for picking the Broncos in the GF! Thank you Thinker for organising a great tipping comp! See you all next year. Up the Wahs!

Wild Oscar's picture

Thank you Thinker. My prize money arrived today.
I can't believe I actually won one of these things. Thank you everyone.

Thinker thank you for all your great work ...

If I was God, and Eve was asking me to create the best winger of all time, I would create Corey Oates.

If I was Corey Oates, I'd instantly build a stature of myself and mount it in front on Suncorp under cover of darkness. And if anyone asked, I'd say it must've been put there by the football gods and they'd never take it down because everybody knows Corey Oates deserves to be a statue in front of Suncorp.

That's what I think anyway.

Greetings tipsters

It's been a few days without anyone lodging any protests regarding my dodgy marking, so I've updated the honour board. Congrats to our top four this season, and a big shout out to Scott M and Tigerholic who not only tied for first, they have both now won the comp for the second time.

I'll be in touch with the prizewinners by email early next week...when I get paid :-)

Thanks again to everyone for participating and for doing so in good spirit.

My Little Helper and I will be back again next year to do it all again.

All the best

The Thinker

Afternoon Thinker

Thank you for another enjoyable year of tipping and banter. I look forward to getting 2025 off to a flyer and to also drag Rocket up the ladder.

I will be in Europe for 7 weeks from Early April so may struggle a bit with keeping abreast of footy news.

Thank you again to you and your family as well as Thinkers Little Helper, my daughter Elle and I look forward to touching base next year.

I'll look out for your email next week. Thank you to everyone who participated this year and a big shoutout to those that persevered right to the very end.

Congrats to the top 4, it wasn't an easy year to do well.

Stay safe everyone, I'll check in in the off season.

Wow!!! another year of Rugby League tipping is over, and we're looking towards next year.
Congratulations to the winning tipsters Scott M and Tigerholic, Big Pete, and Lochnesslaine, fantastic effort from all of you.
Thanks Thinker and your Little Helper for running another successful competition.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I hope to be in the competition again next year.
Although I think I'm getting past it!!!
All the best to everyone, manyana.

No Manyana, your not getting past it.

Tipping is a challenge that keeps the brain active and life ticking along!!
