My Mum's tipping method

Hey guys

So it's the off-season, the moment of emptiness when you turn to the back of the paper and it's all about the V8s or the Spring Carnival -sigh-

BUT with off-season comes off-season blog posts; things somewhat related to the NRL that crop up in my daily life.

This week - my mother's tipping method.

Now, sometimes I feel bad for my mum. She's constantly surrounded by die-hard Storm fans and yet she has no clue how Rugby works.

She has no idea who the good teams are (though she seems to have picked up that Billy Slater is king!)

How then, I hear you ask, does she manage to do her footy tipping each week? Simple. She goes on the mascots.

If West Tigers are going up against Rabbitohs, she'll pick tigers, because logically they should be able to beat a team of bunnies. If Panthers are playing Eels, she finds it difficult, as it depends whether the match was on land or in water.

It seemed to work well in the Grand Final (though she didn't have much choice in who she was going for). She thought Storm would win over Bulldogs, because not many dogs survive after they've been THUNDERSTRUCK.

Doesn't work so well in other codes though. If Melbourne Victory are playing Perth Glory, or Sydney Swans are playing Carlton Blues. That's when she does the blind pick.


It's times like these I'm glad I got my footy passion from the males in the family.

See ya next week, and follow me on Twitter! (@ItsStormGirl)
