    The Roosters main rivals for 2004

    Indeed they have. Since that article the Roosters have won 1 from 1 without Fittler, against the might of Manly. That lifts their overall rate to 6 from 16, or 37.5%. Newcastle have played 5 games without Johns, and won 3. That takes their total to 12 from 29, or 41.4%. NEXT!

    NFT- Ford Falcon - Family Car of the Year Again

    They used to - then I think they manufactured an older Mitsu design. Now they use their own design. Engine sharing's fairly common - Alfa will be using a Holden engine next year!

    Defence is the key.

    You said any premiership side will invariably have the best or second best defensive record. A look at recent history shows that's patently not true, and that attack is at least as important. You can provide the figures for the other 91 premierships if you would like to prove your case...

    Defence is the key.

    Meanwhile, back on the topic. That just doesn't hold water when you actually look at the figures. You did do that when you made that assertion, didn't you. Looking at the ranking of the grand final winner for the six years of the NRL, you get: 1998 Brisbane - Attack: 1; Defence: 1; For...

    Wok cooks up new finals format

    People don't like an 8-team finals series. I doubt they'd go for a 10-team finals series in a 15 team comp.

    Finals format

    Highest on the ladder in week 1, I assume. So, 1, 2, 5 and 6. That's one of the AFL system flaws it doesn't fix - if you finish 3rd you play away, if you finish 6th you play at home. I'm rapidly cooling on the new system. It has a very bad flaw in allowing repeat games, like so: First...

    Finals format

    The new system has been devised by our good friend Wok. From SMH: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/12/03/1070351661153.html It's basically the same as the AFL in the first week, except that only the lowest ranked loser bows out in week 1, while the highest ranked winner gets a week...

    an Ad on the Release Date of the New 2004 Jerseys

    Just to complete the set - the new Panthers home jersey. Not too bad, actually.

    2004 NRL Draw

    Hmm.... First home game round 6 v Roosters 16/18 April - should be a big one. Tough first 7 rounds or so - if we're 5/7 at that stage we'll be doing well. 4 home games in a row, split by a bye, rounds 16 to 20. Byes before origin 1 and after origin 3, so two games without origin...

    No home games until April

    Initially they did - the crowd figures go like this: (Source: stats.rleague.com) 1991 St George v Balmain - 28,884 1992 St George v Brisbane - 18,892 1993 St George v Canberra - 20,246 1994 St George v Wests - 12,874 1995 St George v Newcastle - 8,987 by 1995 it looks like the...

    No home games until April

    That's hardly restoring the home ground advantage that you were worried about. It's also a risk - particularly for a one-off if you're not planning to continue it for next season. How many people is Melbourne v Newcastle in Adelaide going to attract? Probably less than it will in Newcastle...

    No home games until April

    Financially, though, they live and die (partly) by gate takings. The seats for the new concourse aren't due in until February or March. If you didn't have those seats ready the capacity of the ground would be down to 13 to 14K. Leaving the home games to April gives time for rain delays -...

    Thanks - six weeks old now and doing well. Big brother's 3 in February, so we've got our hands full at the moment :)

    Lizards

    Geckos have very fine hairs on their feet, which give them a large surface area which allow enough intermolecular attraction between their feet and the surface. There's a reasonable explanation here, although you might want to give some of the religious stuff towards the bottom a miss. (Or not...

    NBN and their odd changes

    Oswin is 100% correct about NBN's news format. National and international reports are screened at the same time everywhere, with timed slots available for local news tailored to each region. The presenters are the same everywhere, with local news, weather etc prerecorded. The whole thing is...
