Greetings football fans

I have updated the tipping ladder after week one of the finals. Quite a number of us got 4 from 4, but not major changes near the top of the leaderboard.

As always, if you notice any issues with the scoring, just let me know.

First game for week two is on Saturday night - Raiders will have a short turnaround after a long game.

I'll have my previews and selections published on Wednesday or Thursday.

All the best

The Thinker
