Re: Saturday Div 2 Predictions, Results, Thoughts, Rumours
Sooo close. Tibbaw came home strong, but I managed to hold him off.
In the end, I won. Rigged, you say? Maybe. You'll never know for sure. But I think tibbaw should buy me a beer for winning, don't you?
Tibbaw came second by a solitary point, a good finish from last year's (div1) winner.
Third was kolobaras, snatching it from Veggos, who went AWOL in the last round (whether you count kolobaras tipping a game already played or not).
Thanks to Kamaki for not tipping more. He averaged 4.3 from only 3 weeks. I only managed to average just over 3.
The final ladder:
55 blackout
54 tibbaw
52 kolobaras
50 Veggos
44 BlackBrian_7
42 Franco UnAmerican
37 Sacred Noodle
25 Lucas Leiva
21 mooks1304
15 redders
13 Chelski007
13 Kamaki
9 5cougarsthanx
9 Kitchimo
5 Jack Mehorf
4 ManU007
3 SLOTH
2 OMG_LOL
2 smh
1 Green Warrior
The closest to an upset on the last weekend was Comets over Vipers.
Many thanks all, especially the regulars. Looking forward to doing this again next year in Div 1.

Thanks for your effort mate....Well done.
Re: Saturday Div 2 Predictions, Results, Thoughts, Rumours
Good work on the tipping comp this year mate.
It all came down to the last result to be posted between Breakers and Budapest! I do owe you a beer, especially given I was stirring you up Sat night saying I had you beat. See you tomorrow for our ongoing celebrations.

Re: Saturday Div 2 Predictions, Results, Thoughts, Rumours
Modbury and AllStars will be tough.
Hahndorf and USC have shown that teams coming up can hold their own so ARBE and Monarchs will be no pushovers.
Keep an eye on the Cougars, form team of the second half of the year.

Re: Saturday Div 2 Predictions, Results, Thoughts, Rumours
I love these pre-season predictions. So full of 'on paper' predictions...
I have heard the USC Lion have recruited heavily in experience, so with no 1st-half slump they'll be tough to beat.
I think this div will be a lot more even than last year, don't think we'll get another 10-game unbeaten streak as easily this time.

This season will be the most difficult to date IMO. Many many changes....i think predictions at this stage is just about a bit of fun.Lucas Leiva wrote:I love these pre-season predictions. So full of 'on paper' predictions...

I thought Div 2 was pretty even last year and will be even more so this year.

Re: Saturday Div 2 Predictions, Results, Thoughts, Rumours
I agree, I think it will be very little separating top from bottom from beginning to end - the depth of the squads with all clubs will play a big part, makes for an exciting season.Paleon Patros Germanos wrote:I thought Div 2 was pretty even last year and will be even more so this year.

ARBE lost 1-0 to Rostrevor today but dominated by all accounts.

rostrevor are one of the best teams in that division aren't they? Normally hold their own against the lower sat div 1 sides
