Kiki took the Yellow Cap for the round with a perfect round of scores and a GSP moving up the ranks to 5th. :bravo: Tosserpete holds poll, followed by Tempogain and Rugbybal in 2nd and 3rd respectively. :thumbsup: The next round should prove interesting as the resurgent and undefeated Lions head to Newlands, and only the Sharks game seeming to be a sure thing.

For some reason the itmcup website doesn’t want to load so I can’t get a hold of the logs…

I’m happy about that Manawatu win even though I didn’t pick them to win on superbru. Real shame Cruden is unlikely to make the world cup side.

The Manawatu-Otago game is postponed for a fortnight due to the freakish snowstorm here in New Zealand. It’s been unreal.

Glad I gambled on that one! I’m not last anymore! :yay:

And the bugger is we already made our picks!! Anything can happen in a fortnight! :fume:

I like the 11/4 I’m seeing on the Griquas tonight a lot. I must be missing something. Looks like the griquas are getting a key return, while the bulls are down a couple of guys, to boot.

Me too. :bluemad:

My Bulls gave them a bit of a raping in the end there. :yay:

As I said. Cruden proved this weekend he’d be a better fit than Colin Slade.

Congrats to the Naki for taking the Shield off the Stags.

Elf claimed the Yellow Cap for Round 9. :bravo: Round six’s Yellow Cap was claimed by Frikkie. :bravo: Round Seven was taken by Tosserpete. :bravo: And Frikkie rallied to take the Yellow cap for Round 8 again. :thumbsup:
Tosserpete looks to have entrenched himself in 1st position, with Frikkie tentatively holding on to 2nd pursued closely by Rugbybal.

First off, well done to Elf for picking the Bulls for their fine win over the Lions! :bravo: Sorry I lost the faith, brother, but I had forgotten to make the first two picks and thought I needed to make up some lost ground. Alas …
I didn’t make an update, but Rugbybal won the Yellow Cap for round 10. :bravo:
Lyndfield rallied in round 11 and won the Yellow Cap. :bravo: The top three remain unchanged with Elf closing in quickly!

Round 11: Lions vs Blue Bulls

Bis, you should boot out league members who don’t bother making picks. I mean, how difficult and time-consuming is it to make picks once a week? I can understand missing a week or two, but to constantly refuse to make selections? :loco:

Fair enough. I agree. :thumbsup:

*posted in the wrong place. :blush:

I think being ahead of bismarck is a MAJOR achievement.

Hahaha! I’ve sucked in this year’s Curie Cup, mostly because I’ve stubbornly gone with the Bulls every time, and the one time I didn’t they beat the Lions!!
