The OIU x NRL 2025 Tipping Competition saw over 50 Old Ignatians from 31 different leaving classes — stretching from 1957 right through to 2024 — battling it out each week for bragging rights and tipping glory. 

It was a wild NRL season full of upsets, nail-biters, and last-minute heartbreaks. Congratulations to our winners: 

1st ($250 voucher): Bill Follent (OR74) 

2nd ($100 voucher): David Mullins (OR89) 

3rd ($50 voucher): Adrian O'Connor (OR85) 

A big shout-out as well to the top tipsters from each of the participating classes.

Keep an eye out for the NRL26 Tipping Competition, and get ready to test your football instincts again with our 2026 FIFA World Cup Football Comp — it's shaping up to be even bigger (and maybe just as unpredictable)!
