Assuming this is correct, interesting to see how many top 6 sides we have played (position the week we played them) which suggests our finals spot isn’t really due to an easy draw:
Additionally:
- Of the 4 current bottom sides, we have only played dragons twice. We only have one loss against these sides. We also didn’t play a bottom 4 side until round 8
- of the 6 fringe top 8 sides 12th to 7th (generally around the position a few suggest we wouId probably finish / the general ability of our squad ), we have played them all twice. Interestingly apart from the tigers and broncos (who we play this week), our record is one win / one loss against the other 4 sides.
So really the draw hasn’t really helped us, it’s probably that we have been more consistent against the fringe top 8 sides (over 50% win rate) and haven’t dropped many games against the bottom 4.
