Halibut Preview: Final Tips List + Leak!

Hello faithful readers,

Well, I can't quite believe I've managed to preview all 16 (still can't believe Halibut will feature 16 teams) teams playing in this weekend's Halibut. It has been a Herculean task, for sure.

Tipping is a tricky business, especially when you know as little about the sport as I do. And of course, teams were added (hello, A Day at the Races) or changed significantly (thanks for coming, UQ Lovers) making this all very difficult. Then doing it all over a period of time and not really concentrating on it, meant there were times I painted myself into a corner that I'd probably have wanted to get out of later (nice to see you, Concrete Donkey)

Then there's the email and comments and personal confrontations! All in good fun of course.

So with those excuses all detailed (for once I'm not having to refer to injury here), here's what I ended up with:
1. A Day at the Races (Brisbane Motley)
2. Mind the Gap (Brisbane Mafia)
3. Pie Wagon (Newcastle)
4. Spare Room (Melbourne/Adelaide)
5. Muffin Tops (Brisbane Maniacs)
6. Lounge Lizards Original (Brisbane YUFL)
7. Lounge Lizards Spicy (Brisbane YUFL)
8. Concrete Donkey (Townsville)
9. G-Unit (Griffith Gold Coast)
10. Da Frizz (Adelaide)
11. Hooray for Everything (QUT Brisbane)
12. Lovers (UQ Brisbane)
13. Your Mum (Adelaide)
14. The Pass (Byron Bay)
15. Armidale Freeze (Armidale)
16. Lost at Sea (Pickup Team)

I'll try to post Monday to see how I went!

And for your interest, here's the leaked seedings, done by people who are way better at this than me, no doubt (but noting that they haven't been fussed over too much, as the draw of 16 minimises the importance of seeding). It could be too that they just pinched what I'd been saying!
1. A Day at the Races (Brisbane)
2. Mind The Gap (Brisbane)
3. Pie Wagon (Newcastle)
4. Spare Room (Vic)
5. Hooray For Everything (Brisbane)
6. Concrete Donkey (North Queensland)
7. Lounge Lizards Original (Brisbane)
8. Da Frizz (SA)
9. The Pass (NSW)
10. Muffin Tops (Brisbane)
11. UQ Lovers (Brisbane)
12. Lounge Lizards Spicy (Brisbane)
13. Your Mum (Down south somewhere)
14. Armidale Freeze (Armidale)
15. GU-Nit
16. Lost At Sea (Pick up)

Good luck to everyone!
