NRL TIPPING COMPETITIONS - The 'Experts' Tips

Can someone please explain?

How are these so called 'expert' tippers sitting where they are in their tipping competition?

If you look at the NRL Tipping competition for example, you have tippers like Brad Fittler and Kurt Gidley on their offering up their expert tips for the average punters to follow. But how is Fittler been consistently sitting up near the top in the results each week and someone like Gidley is down nearer to the bottom?

You got to expect that they would at least tip their own team each week. If that is the case, Fittler's mob the Roosters have only won 3 games this year. So how is he sitting in 5th place? (If you consider the 3 ahead of him are all on the same amount of points some may say he is coming 3rd) Maybe that's why the Roosters are struggling to find form - maybe he's tipping against them. Not likely, so does that make him an expert tipper to follow if you just forget his Roosters tip each week and pick the same as the rest of his tips. Just imagine how well he would be doing if the Roosters found some form.

Then look at Kurt Gidley who is in 15th position. What's doing there? Maybe 'Gids' has forgotten to tip the Knights each week when he sends his selections in. Tip the Knights 'Gids' - your team has been up near the top of the NRL ladder most of the year.

Ah well, it makes me feel better now that I know that the experts struggle each week picking the winners. The pressure is off - watch me go! (For the record I tipped 7 from 8 last round, only missing the perfect round when my team struggled into second against the team they were up against) There is always next week.
