Footy Tipping '08" edited, please read "

[roz]

Hi all tipsters!!!

I will be running another tipping comp on the NRL. Yes I am a glutton for punishment!!!!:o

As before, it will be in the 'Test' section. So when I put the post up you can enter...

I think the first round is the 14th.

Do you think we should have Narnie Cake again as the first prize????:-/

cheers Roz

( here is the link to the TEST page for details...... )

It should be the same email as last year... I will confirm that when I post everything in 'test'.

One of our aims will be to knock Wags on the Water off his pedestal, and thanks for the narnie cake compliment:-* . Might just give you 4 points start for that!!!

roz

[sleepygreg]

Im in again.......just to get a taste of that narnie cake!!!!!!

Cheers

Greg

[lippa]

Cheers Sean

[STUIE63]

I was just thinking this morning if ausfish will be having another comp so count me in again. thanks in advance Roz:D
Stuie

[wags on the water]

Mmmmmm.....NEED MORE CAKE....

I'm in again Roz

[Noelm]

I could do with some cake, so I might as well go around again, although I think it may be easier on you to use one of the free sites like oztips, it is password protected so only members can use/see it, web based and easy to use, but if you want all the work again, lets go!!!

[Rodman]

Hi Roz

I am in if that is OK

Ken

[baitwaster]

I'll take a shot at the title.

As much as your cake is most likeley delicious, my mum fed me banana cake for smoko at school for 13 years straight, so I am kinda over it. In the unlikely event that I end up near the pointy end, I will happy to donate said cake to anyone else - unless there is an orange poppy seed option? ;D

[wags on the water]

As the title holder, I'd have to say Roz's narni cake (well...both of them;D ), tasted deeelicious.;)
I also thought the way Roz and Phil handled the comp last year was second to none.

Cheers,

Wags

Bring on the cake!!!

[Marlin_Mike]

I am in................ i too am a glutton for punishment..................


Mike

[polky]

Wasn,t around last year so need to taste cake, count me in. Polky. Wags I,ll big note Iam a bit of a footy guru, so look out.

[The Phantom]

I'll be in it.

[wags on the water]

Polky,

You don't need any prior footy knowledge....... Last year who would've gone out on a limb and picked the bunnies.... Or the best one for me was not to pick the broncos....due to there form slump.

All the best to everyone this year.

Wags

Don't try and be modest Mike!!!

I was hoping you may have swam up the berley trail and taken the hook.. Good try guru;) .

Nothing wrong with a bit of biffo in the tipping.

cheers roz;D

[Lucky_Phill]

I'm in again.

The comp finishes before the Agnes M & G, so Roz, you'll have all the work to do, no proxy tip counting ;D :P.

Wags..... OK, I won't be picking too many " upsets " this year.

Narni Cake.....YUMMO........ I can taste it now.....8-)

Only 3 weeks til the start of the season....

Friday Night Footy is back.... yee haa !!!!!! ( unless the weather is good !! ::) )

Cheers Phill

[sleepygreg]

ya could do worse than pick the bunnies this year :)

[aussiefool]

Just a quick question Roz. If someone forgets to put tips in this year will they still get point? I think it caused a few upset punters last year
Aussiefool
Andrew

( as the same as last year, if you forget to put your tips in you will be awarded any points from winners of HOME games for that round. Forget to put your tips in for a few weeks in a row, and you may ::) be removed from the comp. Better still, await the rules that Roz will post up in the " TEST " board very soon and all will be explained..... cheers Phill )

[Noelm]

we used to run under those rules, but some times the people that forgot their tips got more than the ones that did (because a lot of away teams won) so we then made the rules that a tipster that forgets to tip, gets the lowest tipped score minus 1 as a penalty, makes it a bit fairer (I reckon anyway)

[Noelm]

and also still reckon oztips is the way to go, to save hard work by the comp organiser (Roz) but will happily tip anyway that is recomended.

[mowerman]

Me again.

Gotta learn not to tip the chokos,,,sorry boncos.

I know the signwriter...

Rod.

[fishplukka]

im in but can you make it with chocalate icing
cheers fishplukka

[wags on the water]

im in but can you make it with chocalate icing
cheers fishplukka


Mmmmmm tastes really good with choc icing.....;D ;D ;D ;D

[Lucky_Phill]

You'll never know, Wags... the cake is mine :P :P

Phill

[wags on the water]

You'll never know, Wags... the cake is mine :P :P

Phill


As luck would have it......well it was my luck that the first narni cake did have choc icing....Yummo....Sorry I didn't offer you any....

Maybe this year.;)

Wags

[STUIE63]

Wags everyone wants your title. look forward to see how this year pans out go the COWBOYS
Stuie

[wags on the water]

I think I should quit while ahead and remain undefeated...;D ;D

Andrew, if you forget to put your tips in you will have to buy me a carton;D ...or be awarded the away points.

Actually, i'm still thinking about that, I think last year was a bad example.

Since the beginning of time, the rule has always been 'no tips gets the away points'

r.;)

[roz]

Noel & Lippa,

You're right, it would be easier on the tipping site, but this keeps it 'in house', no need to go into other sites, and I really don;'t mind the extra work:wings: ::) :wings: ::) .


ONE OF LAST YEARS CAKES DID HAVE CHOLOLATE ICING ....MIKE GOT TWO CAKES!!!

[eagle1]

this sounds good,im in, but you might have to give me some directions how to do it


go the mighty sea eagles

[Lucky_Phill]

2 cakes ????

I had better not tip those long shots this year.

BTW, I'll order one with vanilla icing and one plain.

:P wags :P

phill

[Redspeckle]

Well count me in again last year I got to lick the bowels ( this word should be bowls, but seeing as it has become a joke in posts further down, it will stay , phill ) for being in 2nd place so hopefully get to taste the end product this time;D

Marlin _Mike The Bulldogs will go better this year without big Willy::)

Mitch
Go the Cowboys in 2008 and give Muzza the premiership title that has been coaching for many years which he deserves

[baitwaster]

Might want to check your spelling Redspeckle - nasty mental image there.

Licking bowls = ;D

Licking bowels = :(

LOL

[wags on the water]

I hope I don't finish 2nd........

[mono]

Hi Roz, you are keen taking it on again! There realy isnt any point in picking the winner because you all know deep down that the mighty rabbitoes are going to take it out easy!!
I cant offer a charter for a prize because I'm still retired, at the moment, but will donate $100.00 worth of my hand-made mackerel live-bait rigs to the winner.
Hope this will helps and good luck to all.
Cheers
Mono
PS. Go the mighty Rabbits

[Lucky_Phill]

[fish_on]

what 26 rounds of stress for one banana cake. ausfish should put up some prizes of t shirts or hats or whatever they sell.

[Lucky_Phill]

This comp is NOT being run by Ausfish, it is being run by Ausfish member " roz " with the assistance of a Moderator on this site, namely me.

The comp is unique as no other comp in Australia has such a sort after first prize. :P ;D

Mono has offered a prize as well. This will be distributed as the organiser deems appropriate.

Phill

[sleepygreg]

gimme the narni cake any day.....bugger all those other 'soft' prizes!!!!!

[sleepygreg]

Greg

[fish_on]

[roz]

Hey fish-on, you seem to have contradicted your self a tad.

At the end of the day nobody give a rats about a narnie cake (except Wags), it's all just for fun.... the same as the Ausfish site.

Onya Greg for speaking up!!!!

roz

[JawstheOriginal]

Where are we all at? :D

[fish-n-dive]

I know I don't own this board but I can't understand what footy has to do with fishing.....

I have threads moved to outer darkness because they (supposedly) had nothing to do with fishing.

It seems that depending on who you are threads get moved to the sandpit if the mods don't like ya.

[Lucky_Phill]

NOT True fish-n-dive.

The footy tipping is in the TEST area. That area is designed for off topics, testing posts, first timers play area etc.

As for your last sentence..... not even close to the mark. Posts get moved because they are in the wrong area or are not suitable, there are no personal agendas here.

Ah, Roz,

You should hear Wags rabbit on about the narni cake! I hope he lets me try it this year (after he wins), I'd like to compare it to my wife's (which is the best in the world OF COURSE!!!)

Phill

Phill,

I worded my original statement poorly and for that i apologise.

Purely from my perspective, I cannot fathom how something is considered suitable (discounting porn and graphic material) or not without being based on a mods personal opinion which on occasion is vastly different from mine.

Again sorry if I caused any personal offense.
