Well another high scoring week and more bonus points. Fatty1973, alacadoo trainee and Clueless like most, were all one step away from immortality with the first 6 matches correct in both score and results. All fell at the last hurdle although Fatty1973 and alacadoo trainee did go for Tring so got all 7 results right so get an additional 3pts each. Lowest score was 24 so no damage done if you didn’t post.

 

Clueless like most adds to his lead at the top but plenty of games left and hopefully the results will be harder to pick as the ground get wetter and the weather less clement

Hi WR. To some extent you are right as not many will back against their own club, unless the odds are really stacked against them. In the past there have been some real upsets to contradict that theory, but mainly this season the results have gone to form. However the top four teams this year have not met each other yet afaik, so loyalty might become an issue or points get sacrificed. 

The profiles of the current top 4 leaders of this prediction table quote their clubs to be:

East Grinstead - Clueless like Most

Harliquins - Kentish Man

Sevenoaks - Ghanian Eagle 

Dorking - Surrey Rugby

So Clueless Like Most can be very objective. 

Kentish Man changes his profile quite often, so haven't got a clue - Somewhere down the A21 is the nearest I can get, but his inability to spell probably rules out Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells, as well as TJs. 

Ghanaian Eagle and Surrey Rugby have the unenviable task of explaining to their clubmates why they predicted their side to lose should they ever do so. 

Just a thought and a bit of fun before the PC Police wade in on me.

Aha WR, some interesting analysis there, but the profiles only suggest a club association and IMO are far from accurate and definitive. My profile and club are not in doubt, but at Dorking we have an inquisition ongoing between a few of us who are trying to identify two of our own. Surrey Rugby and none less than our own forum leader Shamrose. Strong clues exist, but so far nobody making any admissions. The latter suggesting an Irish/English connection, and association with Ealing Trailfinders, who has to travel abroad for work. I shall not name anyone, but a few of us are getting quite close. Doesnt this make this forum all the more intriguing. As you say a bit of fun in the mix. 

I shall be there and say hello, but don't take my picture

Could have been worse, you could have waited eight rounds before someone realised you were in the round. 🍺

I always find hiding in plain sight to be an effective tool. I played colts and senior rugby for Ealing back in the 80's so as far as playing rugby is concerned Ealing will always be my club and i get up there to meet my old mates to watch a few games a year. However having moved to Dorking 13 years ago i am also very much a Dorking supporter, although i don't own one of the dodgy blazers! Dorking is very much like Ealing was back in the day, a good community club, with an old style club house, and with some interesting supporters to say the least.
