TAB shows 4 super favourites and ours is quite similar. Last picks needed from Danny and Ron, Big Cheese has retired hurt.

Apart from the guy who does laps of the park screaming, have they got any?

I had them for a 0-0 draw but didn't put it in, sick of getting harassed :)

Not exactly why anyone would pick that option however I have reluctantly changed it.

There's no shame in zero mate. Pretty sure a blank square means no picks.

Personally I'm changing my strategy and going for 8 1-1 draws this weekend, although I'm starting to lose confidence in Western having seen them play last night. Pretty sure a couple of those shirts would fit me, not a good look at MPL level. One game to go after that and the first round is completed already. Will the curse of the Uni holidays strike Varsities over the next couple of rounds?

Updated table, apologies for that. It didn't change your position on the board, Ron. 

6 more picks and next weeks' ones are done too, some very interesting graphs this week.

Ron: I'm happy to continue to count your 4 (or 8 this week) draws each week as long as you're stump up with the prize money at the end of the season. Otherwise we'll just do the Big Cheese thing and bow out (semi) gracefully...

Just tell me where the end of season do is and I'll attend to collect my winnings :) 

Actually why aren't there bonus points up for grab for correct score, 4 correct results etc? What about the women's MPL as well?

Let's just focus on the simple things first before getting carried away...

Last year I did add in WPL and even Championship games when there wasn't many MPL games

I'm just gonna make the Bays Nelson game a correct pick for everyone rather than edit it. When it's replayed you will have another chance. Congrats Ron you just doubled your score!

Results this week sees Gregan hold on to his one point lead. I changed my mind about giving everyone the 1 point for the postponed Bays vs Nelson match as it was real easy to not count it in the marking program, and it's being played next week. 

In other news I picked 4 outta 4 at the TAB yesterday and scored a cool $50 for my fiver.

Done, although I've changed my strategy for this week. The results shall speak for themselves. Enjoy the road trip Vim, it will be awesome to go back there in the last game of the season playing for the championship if it's not already in the bag by then :)

If by "changing your strategy" that means picking 5 draws instead of 4 I think that is more to do with the amount of games in a weekend and not really a Mourinho game changer. But, all the best!

Yer, gonna be a great weekend ahead!

Vim if you are correct about FC then I assume the Picking Comp will be like the TAB - ie Results on the day stand.
