Greetings football fans - We're back. No bigger or better than ever before, but we are back.
To our returning tipsters from last season, welcome back! If your tipster name displays on the 2025 season scoreboard on this page, then you've already been pre-registered for this season. You don't have to let me know you are participating again, but feel free to say hello in the comments if you wish. If you don't wish to participate this season, that's fine too.
New registrations are now closed
Registrations for new tipsters in season 2026 have now closed. Apologies to those of you that have missed the cut-off. For those of you that were tipping here in 2025...fear not...I've saved you all a spot in 2026.
How does it all work?
Soon I will create a page for round one of the NRL season. If you are a registered tipster and you are signed in, you should be able to find a link called 'Show/Hide the tipping comp form'. Click that, and you will see where you can make your selections for round one. It's not too complicated, but you can always ask a question in the comments section if you have any issues.
I'll also have more details for everyone in the days ahead, but the tipping rules remain the same, and there will be cash prizes for those that finish on the podium (and a few random prizes throughout the season). At a time when inflation and cost-of-living pressures are out of control, you'll be pleased to hear that we have kept our prices for this season exactly the same as last season. It's still free. Freaking free. We don't know how we do it either, but the secret ingredient is love. Love and whisky.
Will AI destroy us all?
The short answer is...probably yes. But golly gosh, haven't we had some fun along the way? As we sleepwalk our way toward the end of human civilisation as we know it, I thought it would be heaps fun to add an AI tipster to our tipping comp this season. There's no way in hecktown I'll be sharing any prizes with an AI robot, but I'm interested to see how us humans go competing against a machine. I'm cheering for the humans. We can do this.
Any questions?
You can ask a question or just say hello by adding a comment on this page. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Ah rugby league...it's terrific to (almost) have you back.

I may have this wrong,but it seems to me that players that sign on to another team 12 months or so prior to the start of the season tend to back off their intensity.I also think it hurts the fans watching them as well,knowing they wont be around next year.

Hi Thinker and co,
Wow another year has flown by so quick already February which means the season is around the corner! Some impressive efforts in the trials so far from certain teams getting their combos right and giving the youngsters some much-needed exposure! Looks like we’re in for an intriguing NRL season ahead! I am very keen for another lap around the sun with this wonderful crew! All the very best everyone!
Cheers!
