Von Cettes 685 Report post Posted November 12, 2016 Waikato Times 'Chiefs Spring Surprise' The Waikato Chiefs have beaten their more fancied opponents the Taranaki Ferdies in a gripping final that swung several ways over the concluding stages. The Ferdies have earned the right to be known as the most consistent team in the Super comps, they have held the nucleus of their side together PJ, Heather, Maurice and Bryan for what seems an eternity and with the addition of Stags superstar Nekky they have formed a formidable outfit. Winning the Minor Premiership seems second nature to the Formidable Ferdies, however it's the biggest stage which seems to be the Achilles heel for the Ferdies, falling at the last hurdle. When glancing over the team line ups at the start of each comp and picking the final 5 semi final teams the Ferdies always figure highly, look forward to catching up with the ferdies again in the Summer months where maybe they can seek revenge on the Waikato Wonders Thanks to my team-mates Jack- A Waikato stalwart the heart and soul behind the Waikato team a team-mate who can always be relied on in the big occasions and it was fitting Jack finished finals day on top, a consistently good scorer Jack is one of the unsung hero's of the Waikato side Casper he calls himself the Ghost with the most and the most is what he ended up with heading the Magnificent 7 leader-board Casper needed to produce against the gallant Pegs Pride on Grand Final Day and produce he did. Sylvia- Sylvia ended up the Chiefs Hero the Naki Brigade were in full voice heading into the last and they needed to be silenced, and a wonderful rendition of Silent Night ended the Ferdies charge as the well backed Silent Sedition saluted to all in the Waikato Catalano his consistent performances held the Chiefs in good stead over the earlier rounds and deep into the finals was somewhat unlucky yesterday as some of his super subs saluted Captain- his big call was on playing the Joker and this enabled the Chiefs to chase Group 1 glory thanks everyone for a most enjoyable Spring Comp see you all in the Summer And that's all they wrote folks!!!!!!!

Peter Jenkins 2,120 Report post Posted November 14, 2016 THE FINAL MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (FROM 13 MATCHES) 4099.20 Casper (Chiefs) {$315.32 ave. per match} 3601.80 Jack (Chiefs) {$277.06 ave. per match} 3428.00 Punter Pete (Turbos)* {$285.67 per match} 3160.60 Maurice (Ferdies)** {$287.33 per match} 3120.20 PJ (Ferdies)** {$283.65 per match} 3077.80 Gruff (Sharks)* {$256.48 per match} 3028.60 Geoff (Blues)* {$252.38 per match} * from 12 matches only ** from 11 matches only $3410.00 is the individual break for 13 matches $3146.00 for 12 matches $2882 for 11 matches .....Five of the Magnificent 7 made a profit which is an amazing result after being asked to select in 155 races (across two countries) not of their choosing, and still come out on top. Look out Mike Dillon ! Huge congrats to Casper for an astonishing tipping effort to win by such a large margin. No.1 pick for any Draft Comp in future, no doubt.

Casper 222 Report post Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks for the wrap Peter I don't see myself as the #1 draft selection More than likely not to figure on the magnificent 7 table next comp I have seen many fine tipsters on here all capable on their day of beating anyone, and whoever gets on a roll is going to figure high on the Magnificent 7 board. Looking forward to the next comp already, you don't need money to have a fun and enjoyable comp, the dignity and professionalism you show to all makes these comps a pleasure to be part off. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
