IT was a nightmare for tipsters last weekend — dubbed ‘Egg-On-Your-Face’ round by our SuperFooty podcast members.
There were plenty of threes and fours from the nine matches, but a small breakaway has formed after each tipped five winners from a round of upsets.
Trent Cotchin is among the leaders (on 18 from three rounds), the Tigers skipper joined by Mark Robinson, Mick Warner and Rebecca Williams.
Gerard Whateley tipped six winners — the most of our experts — to give him a share of second place.
